the drums of war are heard on the battlefield of waterloo once more after the defeat. >> another athlete in denials using performance-enhancing drugs mo ferrell. >> charged with nine counts of murder and a weapons crimes. 21-year-old dylann roof has confessed to the killing in charleston which nine people were killed. he said he wanted the shootings
5:02 pm
to spark a race war in the united states. the court heard moving personal statements from the relatives of the victims including the daughter of 70-year-old ethel lance. >> you've hurt me. you've hurt a lot of people. may god forgive you. >> the governor of south carolina is calling for the death penalty for roof. >> this is an absolute hate crime. as we talk with investigators as we go through the interviews, they said that they looked at pure evil in the eye.
5:03 pm
there are nine families that are struggling. this is a state where nine people were innocently killed. we'll absolutely want him to have the death penalty. this is the worst case that we've seen. we'll fight this as hard as we can. >> vigils have been held for the victims and their loved ones. these scenes from an inter faith vigil in the city of philadelphia have been repeated in churches in the country with more events planned as the religious communities come together. andy we're hearing from the daughter of one of the victims a very emotional statement where she basically said she forgave dylann roof. take us through the proceedings and what we've been hearing from the other relatives. >> incredible scenes.
5:04 pm
dylann roof appearing via video link. he was not physically in that courtroom, but he could certainly hear those statements from the victims, from the families who were lost in the church behind me on wednesday night. you heard that statement from the first one. others say, you killed some of the bravest people i know. she was talking about her son and she said from the bible may god have mercy on your soul. another one said that you killed my grandfather. and the list just goes on. it was each of these surviving members of these families of the victims forgiving mr. roof. that speaks volumes about the community and the determination here in charleston not to focus on the alleged actions of dylann roof but focus on forgiveness and healing right here in this city. that's certainly what we've seen outside of the mother emmanuel church. we've seen people gathering and
5:05 pm
that's been the continuous seen as people lay flowers, hold hands, sing hymns and hold each other, black white all races coming together. but certainly those scenes in court were amazing. throughout that healing dylann roof showed no emotion at all. he was flanked by two armed guards throughout the entire proceeding, and his face did not flinch once as he heard from the outpouring of grief from the victims' families saying you took someone special from me. i will never hold them again but i forgive you. no emotion from the suspected perpetrator of these crimes, but certainly here in charleston an emotional rollercoaster, a determination that this city should show a wonness and come together and move on. i talked to one of the pastors of a nearby church. he said this building has
5:06 pm
survived all sorts of attacks. this is a church that has survived and will continue to go on as a symbol of freedom and a symbol of this city's grief and determination to get through this together. >> and guy gallacher, thank you. moving on to other stories. talks in geneva to end the war in yemen collapsed. the two sides did not reach an agreement, but the cease-fire is still possible and the door is open for further dialogue. >> we believe that there is there, there is a possibility of a cease-fire and withdraw. there is no disagreements on this basic element. we feel that it requires simply some further consultation and we
5:07 pm
can achieve it soon. >> but houthi delegates insist that it cannot involved exiled government of abd rabbuh mansur hadi. >> we intended to carry out the negotiations with the exiled governments representatives. but right from the start we were told there would be no discussions with the representatives. >> hashem ahelbarra has been following the talks for us in geneva. >> the houthis remain determined that the airstrikes have to stop before talks can move forward. the saudis continue that the houthis are to blame and they need to pull out of the cities
5:08 pm
they control and stop shooting at civilians. this is the biggest problem. the united nations has not been able to reconcile those differences. there is a growing sentiment among the international community that there needs to be a cease-fire any time soon. millions of yemenis pin high hopes on the potential cease-fire here in geneva. that is not happening. this is bad news for yemeni who is are suffering on a daily basis in yemen. i think the international community will jump in, and the russians, the americans, the europeans, the iranians and the saudis are now the ones who can pull the strings and try to find an immediate truce to be implemented during the month of ramadan. >> meanwhile inside yemen ten civilians have been killed in the north by saudi-led airstrikes. the houthi stronghold city of saada was the area of the
5:09 pm
attack. the humanitarian situation is dire, it is getting worse. supplies are running low and now an outbreak of dengue fever could add to the misery to the civilian there is. an independent journalist who just returned from yemen the front line, tell us what it was like there and what you witnessed. >> the people have been impacted not only by the general siege of the country. saudi arabia is preventing food from getting in, and houthis are blocking road access to the city. even the u.n. aid that might be coming into the north of the country, by sanaa by plane is not able to get to aden. there is a huge shortage of
5:10 pm
food medical supplies, drugs the flour ran out shortly after i left. bakeries are closed and people are getting increasingly desperate there. you mentioned the issue of dengue fever as well. on a quiet day there 25 people a day dying and it's the result of the fighting. on top of that there is now the issue of disease. >> so you've outlined a number of different challenges there. you were there for a little while. you spent a little bit of time in aden on a quiet day what is an average day like for people able to leave their homes? supplies are running low they need to find food. if someone is sick with fever or injured they need to get to a hospital but they're running out of fuel. what is the biggest challenge facing the people. >> in the central part of the city where there have been a lot of fighting, the houthis
5:11 pm
controlled two-thirds of the city, and two-thirds of that city has been forced over. and in those areas people struggle to get water on a daily basis because the water infrastructure was hit by airstrikes or sabotaged in the fighting. getting access to food, i met with families there. their only water source was collecting water from dripping pipes. their only food, they've been living on business cuts and rice for two months. in other parts of the city it's incredibly difficult to get access to healthcare because moving across the city you have to move across the front lines. that is incredibly dangerous. when you're in search of healthcare or when hospitals are forced to close because of the fighting. it's every aspect of daily life is a struggle. that's why people have fled not just their homes but the city as well and have gone as far as the horn of africa or the east of the country not just because of the fighting, but because of the
5:12 pm
lack of food and lack of services as well. >> when you're up against such situation like this, for most people it's really impossible to imagine politics seems almost like an irrelevance. what did people there tell you? yemen is so fragmented. so many different communities and tribes in different parts of the country. did you gauge any broad shift in how people are feeling as a result of the blockade and these months of bombardment? >> i think it's a very depressing situation now in yemen, and you found that it has totally polarized the community. you have people who are forced into situations now who have to take sides. and even next door next-door neighbors, people who have grown up together, who have known each other all their lives are now fighting together because they've been forced into one camp or another by this conflict
5:13 pm
conflict. one example two shop keepers living next door to each other. one was running a canteen if you like, the other a barbershop, and when the civil war started in march they had known each other for decades one ended shooting dead the other. those are the kinds of things that really break down and destroy the fragment of society in a country and take not just years but decades to recover from even once the conflict is over. that's the depressing side of what's happening in yemen and how it's impacting. >> it will be impacting the country and the people for many years to come. thank you for painting a picture there at the moment. israel easing restrictions allowing tens of thousands of muslims to pray at muslim's holy
5:14 pm
site. and ivory trader's, their product is turned to dust in new york. find out. >> er why there are more than points on the line at copa america. >> one person has been killed during clashes between egyptian police and muslim brotherhood protesters. the 22-year-old died as police tried to disperse supporters after friday's prayers in the northern city. similar clashes have erupted in similar other parts of the country. at least 80,000 worshipers are an allowed to pray at one of its holiest sites. we have reports from occupied east jerusalem.
5:15 pm
>> they have not been to jerusalem in 25 years. this year they were issued a travel permit. he left his house at dawn so he could reach jerusalem in time for friday prayers at the aqsa mosque. the only reason why he was able to get a permit is because israel is issuing them to those over 60 years old. >> i'm so happy that i'm finally going back for a long period. we need more easing for all gazaens. we want to be able to go there every day. >> others will be able to pray at the aqsa 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.
5:16 pm
theto be able to move without a permit. i've spent the last four days issuing permits and it's humiliating. we're entitled to move without withoutwithout a permit without talking to anyone. >> they're easing restrictions during ramadan that comes at a time of heightened restrictions. most palestinians don't believe their right to worship should be restricted in the first place. the freedom of movement of palestinians is guaranteed by international law but a right continually limited by israel which is why many palestinians are skeptical. >> for them to occasionally allow more people in or allow less people at other times the whole system is unacceptable.
5:17 pm
and must be abolished. >> while meese measures temporarily ease restrictions, the continueing occupy pacing occupation has not been resolveed. >> new funding is believed to be worth up to $3.4 billion and expected to tied the banks over only until money when more may be need: that's still less than the $4.2 billion that customers have we drawn from greek banks within the last week and twice the amount of money currently at the center of the impact. $1.8billion the greek government is due to make to international lenders by the end of the month . >> the run on greek banks has
5:18 pm
accelerated to a stampede. cash machines have been emptied. customers have to wait while they're refill. they held an emergency meeting to issue $2.2 billion to keep grease' banks still in business. greeks depositors withdrew more than $1 billion from banks on friday bringing the total to the week to $4.5 billion. over the same period the stock market plunged by more than 10%. it's the combination of a vote of no confidence by investors and consumers. since tsipras was elected, a fifth of stock market values have disappeared. and there is still a risk that athens could be forced to put a cap on withdraws as cypress did in 2013. as greece's finances minister was trying to secure more money from the country's creditors
5:19 pm
they were signing a pipeline deal in russia and he appears to be in no mood to compromise. >> the european union which we're a part of should find its way back to principles, solidarity social justice by sticking to policies of austerity and that harm is impossible. >> they could become the first euro zone country to go broke and. >> we do not have a guarantee. if the greeks are seriously ready, committed to getting their budget in order and to make steps towards it, then it is possible. >> we hope for the best, but we now must be prepared for the worst. >> the pressure on greece's cash machines mirror the strain on
5:20 pm
the country's leaders as they continue to cut spending further. >> let's get more on this now from the director of the european union research center at the george washington university. thank you so much for speaking to us. here we go again, we have another round of talks. another deadline. will there be a deal at the 11th hour between greece and it's creditors? >> i hope so, but given the way this government has been acting, and it's friday today we don't know. the default that is possible on monday is becoming more and more real. the last thing that the imf needs is an official default by greece, but the prime minister is giving them no room to negotiate here. this is a very young government, and very immature in terms of the political stage in terms of
5:21 pm
what they're doing at this current stage. >> so with that in mind, then, from what you're saying if they do manage to reach a deal right now they still need to have a long-term agreement on some sort of debt relief because clearly greece is unable to keep up with this repayment schedule, nor are they able to implement the kind of austerity that the e.u. wants them to inside their own countries. so do you see a coherent strategy on the tsipras government for tackling this long-term debt relief issue. >> they really have no strategy. they came in on a silver bullet with a promise they could never deliver on. it's a bad scenario and going to a worse scenario. he's not going to be able to deliver on the reforms. again, i think this is the end of the day this is the last
5:22 pm
straw because european central bank and every else in the e.u. and the imf is now fed up. if they don't do it they will force the default through on monday. but i think that the pressure is coming from the greek public. you can see them on the streets. the very last thing they want right now is to be out of the eurozone because that will be a death sentence for the greek economy for decades to come. >> that in many ways is the fascinating things about this. the people themselves, they are very passionate about remaining within. euro, yet their government and the relationship between greece and creditors is dysfunctional. greece worried about a future of more economic pain and austerity being forced on them german
5:23 pm
chancellor angela merkel worried that greece won't be able to live up to its obligation. how long can that go on for? >> well, i think its ending on monday. the bottom line is that the people did rope this government in. they were so much pain that a silver bullet was desirable. but now reality has hit home that the alternative is really much worse. and if this government does not cut a deal on monday this government is in trouble. they'll to bely snap elections sooner than we think. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. >> three men have been arrested in india after toxic alcohol killed as many as 41 people in mumbai and left another 4 24 in hospital. the victims started to fall ill on wednesday. they're all residents of a slum
5:24 pm
in the north of the city. >> in thailand 58 people remain in quarantine after the country recorded the first case of the middle east respiratory syndrome on thursday. health officials are monitoring the man's relatives who were traveling with him but they returned negative test results. hospital staff who came in contact with the man have have been put into quarantine for 14 days. meanwhile health officials believe that the mers outbreak is leveling off. just one new case was reported on friday. 166 confirmed mers cases in may and 24 have died. now, now behind me you can see some of the faces of canada's missing aboriginal
5:25 pm
women. they have been missing or murdered since 1980. now they want a full inquiry but as john hendron reports from winnipeg, the government is resisting that move. >> when tina was found in the red river canadians awoke from an epidemic of missing and murdered aboriginal girls. >> it had to take her dying to make a difference. >> she opened the door for all the women out there. >> the canadian government said 1200 aboriginal women or girls have been murdered or gone missing from 1980 to 2012, but prime minister stephen harper has rebuffed calls for an inquiry. >> we should not view it as a cultural phenomenon but of crime
5:26 pm
crime. >> indigenous people as a whole don't have equitable access is to education justice reproductive health, food, water, housing. it is all of those issues that create this fear of violence against indigenous women and girls. >> this is where the police found the body of lisa fontaine wrapped in plastic. the horrific details caught the attention of the nation. felicia osborn was found in the same spot and countless others have been murdered or gone missing since. felicia is one of four relatives of those who have gone missing or murdered. >> they were not someone who was disposable, it would be just thrown in a river like they're
5:27 pm
garbage. if it was prime minister harper's daughter i think things would be different. >> so with the government treating the missing and murdered women each as an isolated crime aboriginal people have taken it upon themselves to drag the river for bodies as police watch from a distance. on the north end the bear clan are watching the streets where prostitutes and drugs are just as much of the scenery as the cars who come for them. they say the police show an indifference that would not be tolerated in other communities. >> we want the same treatment from the police force that other communities get. we want people to know dragging through our community looking for sex is not accepted. >> the police declineed our requests for interviews. the list of those who mourn the missing grows longer.
5:28 pm
al jazeera winnipeg. >> much more still ahead for you in this news hour. up up and away. which countries are splashing out for military might in the sky. these fighters get ready for war. will the guns ever fall silent in mali. no. sri lanka there is more pressure on the first test. we have more on sports coming up.
5:29 pm
5:30 pm
>> brittany menard's decision to take her own life last year. sparked a national debate. >> brittany didn't wan't to die the brain tumor was killing her, she simply took control over how that process would go. >> now see what her husband is doing to keep his promise to change "right to die" laws nationwide. america tonight only on al jazeera america.
5:31 pm
>> welcome back. watching the al jazeera news hour. an update of the top stories now. the man arrested for a shooting in the united states has been charged with murder and weapons charge. peace talks ending the war in yemen breaks up in geneva.
5:32 pm
european central bank has entried to increase emergency support for the banking sector. now a picture is beginning to emerge of the life of dylann roof and his motivation for the attack. the 21-year-old is a loner with a police record of minor offenses and known for making racist remarks. we have more now from roof's hometown of lexington. 200 kilometers from charleston. >> everybody is asking the same question, who is dylann roof, the 21-year-old accused killer? a couple of years ago he attended white knoll high school. he did not graduate. it was quiet here with the students on summer break. one friend said that he would
5:33 pm
want civil war between races. >> it hit me hard. seeing a best friend that you've known for seven years do something like this. he wanted segregation. he wanted white with white and black with black and he didn't--he didn't believe in what the black race was doing to the white race. >> roof appeared to be spending his time bouncing around between several places. one being here in lexington. roof was not deeply involved in the community and didn't have a job. residents here remain in shock. >> i can't even imagine what is going on in somebody's head to be doing something like that. >> others say that roof was mentally ill. >> if he had some of the help that he needed we might not have gotten there, i don't know. >> i think he was mentally ill. he's untreated mental health
5:34 pm
patient as far as i'm concerned. >> his facebook page had a photo of him wearing a jacket it's unclear if he was linked to hate groups in the u.s. there are hate groups in south carolina and eight specifically target african-americans. it's unknown if there were any connections in the communities where the alleged shooter grew up in. that's something that investigators are looking closely. people in the town that he frequented distance themselves from a young man they barely knew but has brought un unwanted attention to their community. >> let's speak now to jason johnson, clementa pinckney, one
5:35 pm
of those shot victims. he was pastor and state senator. you ran the campaign for him. just tell us a little bit how do you make sense of what has happened. >> you can't. it is an absolute tragedy. it is a deep personal loss for me in decision to his wife jennifer, to the family, but also to the community as a whole. i think it's very important that we remember that this was not just a massacre. this was an assassination. he was not a man of god who represented his community. he was an active member of the community. these actions of violence, white supremacy and white nationalism they have real consequences, those are the things that are hard to absorb and understand at this point. >> tell us about mr. pinckney's own background, the role he played in the community what he
5:36 pm
meant to the community and the location where this all took place enormously symbolic given this church's linked to the ending of slavery and civil rights movements in the united states. >> back when clementa and i worked together we were in south carolina in the poorest area of the country. he grew up in very very poor circumstances. places that didn't necessarily have running water where you had dirt roads. for somebody to come out that have environment, get to college, succeed and then decide i'm not going to leave. i'm not going to go and make money but serve this community as an elected official, i'm going to speak out for the economic cultural and healthcare needs. you don't have many people like that. there aren't many men and women who have that level of dedication.
5:37 pm
his role both from that community in the church is immeasurable and it's going to be impossible to replace. >> what about the impact it's going to have on the community not just in that area, but also elsewhere in the u.s. we've seen any incredible show of unity with different people coming together determined to show that this act will not divide them. how difficult is it going to be to tackle the underlying causes, some of the trends that you're describing like supremacy existence of white supremacists. existing problems in race relations, how difficult is it going to be to tackle that without exacerbating existing fractures in society? >> that's going to be very hard to do because that's not what americans do.
5:38 pm
at the same time you have there is a horrible attack on religious freedom. they refuse to acknowledge despite what the killer said, that this was an act of racial violence. i don't have a lot of optimism that this is going to cause any type of transformation in race relations in the united states because we have people who are ignoring acts of racism and violence in favor of what's is expedient for them. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> violence broke out in northern mali after a coup in in 2012 when large areas from seized by fighters.
5:39 pm
in may talks brokered by the u.n. resulted in an agreement signed by armed groups loyal to the government. but until now the alliances refused to sign. we have reports from northern mali, many fighters still have doubts about the deal. >> the camp fired in the wilderness and meat for roasting. moments like this are rare and brief in the life of tuareg rebels. there is a new deal that is supposed to end the conflict. but as they get ready to sign peace these rebels get ready for war. >> whoever talks of ending the conflict only talks nonsense. it's a big lie. the war cannot be ended by a stroke of a pen.
5:40 pm
as long as we are denied territorial separation there will be no end to the war. >> there are new territorial gains. the majority of them strongly rejected the new peace treaty and issued this statement. >> let 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. the rebels announceed an independent state in northern mali in 2012. but they only get local administration. perhaps the 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 that gave us the
5:41 pm
weapons. we paid for them with their own blood. >> we handed over our weapons in 1993 and 1994, but the result was they destroyed the weapons and two years later they began to kill our people. we're not going to return to that situation. >> those statements and the complexity of the situation on the ground provoke the prospects of a real and final peace with sporadic fighting still taking place including confrontations, some even go as far as predict a new and major war. al jazeera. northern mali. >> religious turbans are to be banned in chad because the government said that they could be used to conceal weapons. a suicide-bombing in the country on monday killed 34 people. boko haram is suspected to be behind the attacks. chad is playing a role in
5:42 pm
defeating the armed group. in paris this week the focus may be on how many planes boeing and airbus airbus can sell there are also the sell of fighter jets. >> the french fighter jet is used predominantly by the french air force. up until recently no one else wanted it. performance-wise did in the stand up against the euro fighter or the f-18 even if the company that makes it thinks otherwise. >> i seen the capability has been recognized by our customers. problems in areas of the world has pushed some government to buy and enforce their own defense. >> this is the key it's exports
5:43 pm
success, the war in libya in 2011 was a key moment when middle eastern countries could see what the plane could do in combat, and that they could buy them with much more flex ability. >> dedicated functioning we can build to their specificities, of course we need permission from french authorities to sell to these countries. >> the sheer number of people who come to see the airshow is testament to the amount of interest in it. the aviation spent $45 billion just on developing the plane. that's money well spent when you consider that qatar has bought 24 of them. egypt bought 24 of them. egypt bought 36 of them, and there is talk of a deals in the pipeline as well. just what they're costing the
5:44 pm
countries is less obvious. >> we could say a modern fighter like this could cost 80 to $120 million but it's difficult to say because the negotiations are very secretive. in decision when people buy the plane, basically they'll have to invest some that have money back into the host government. in the case of india they'll have to put 30% of the contract value back into india because you know, these governments, if they spend all this money they want to receive something in return. not just the aircraft. >> no doubts it has become a popular plane and the view from the paris airshow is what is good in the sky is also good on the ground for the french economy. >> and you can see more from kamal and the team at the airshow. that is 2230 gmt on friday. we have more on sport coming
5:45 pm
up. lee wellington will tell us if more more. and reenactments of waterloo 200 years after napoleon's defeat.
5:46 pm
>> the welcome back. a confiscated ivory has been
5:47 pm
destroyed in new york's time square. it was put into a crusher and pulverized into dust. 45,000 elephants are killed every year for their ivory and that is seriously endangering the animal's numbers. >> in parts of africa elephants are being wiped out. hunted down and killed for their ivory tusks. despite an international ban on ivory trading and efforts by african countries to stop poaching, the slotter is accelerateing. >> we have good statistics that show that between 2010 and 2012 alone probably as much as 100,000 elephants were killed for their ivory. if those rates continue we're looking at regional extinctions within the next decade. >> african poaching do the
5:48 pm
killing but demand comes from abroad. china and the united states are the two biggest demands. using a hidden camera we found many ivory objects for sale in chinatown shops. >> while the u.s. bans i am pourtation and sale of new ivory tusks or carved object there is a big loophole in the law. antique ivory is league but nearly impossible to tell what is antique and what's not. sellers often treat ivory with chemicals to make it look old. but you don't have to visit chinatown in order to find ivory for sale. there is plenty of it readily available just a few keyboard clicks away on the internet. in march the international fund for animal welfare conducted a small survey of just 28 cities and towns on the popular online
5:49 pm
trading site craigslist. investigate heinvestigators found 500 ivory or suspected ivory items for sale. >> those items were being advertised for nearly $1.5 million. >> that is just a fraction of what is out there. >> there are many platforms ebay craigslist obviously has a lot of traffic but then there are smaller sites. >> now california lawmakers are pushing a new law that would ban all sales of ivory no matter how old beginning next year in america's most populous state. animals rights activists say that the california law is an important step setting an example for other states and other countries and just possibly helping to stop the elephant's march to oblivion. >> lee is here with all your sport.
5:50 pm
>> the olympic champion mofarrah has denied ever taking performance-enhancing drugs and says allegations are completely false. now now he missed two drug tests in the two years before the atlantic olympics. he won the 5,000 and 10,000 meters. he has assureed that accusations are false. he said i've never taken performance-enhancing drugs in my life and i never will. i >> farah is due to return to action in monaco on july 17. just when things could not get

worse for tiger woods the former number one is making an humiliating exit after finishing 16 over par for his two rounds. the worse was the horrendous 10 over par 80 on day one. his frustration plain to see as the winner continues to fall down the world rankings. this was his worst ever performance in a major. the rivalry between the south american neighbors transcends football. over 130 years ago the war of the pacific. we have reports from the capital capital. >> bolivia has been trying since 1979 to regain access it lost to chile in the war of the pacific. it has been trying to beat chile
5:52 pm
in a game of football. the level of four points each clash at santiago's national stadium. >> definitely, to beat chile would be a great achievement for us. not just in a football test but symbolically too. >> the two countries signed the friendship treaty in order to resolve the disputed coast line but more than a century later it's far from resolved. these bolivian children sing, and the bolivian navy restricted sailing the waters. chile holds all the negotiating cards. and more than 6,000 kilometers of coast line. >> when bolivia said that it must get its sea back you have to interpret that. what they want was a sea that was never theirs.
5:53 pm
the coast. and they know perfectly well chile can never give them the territory because that would cut chile in two. >> thee laychile has enough of its own social and political problems. those countries meanwhile are waiting for the international court of justice in the hague to rule, but that ruling, which ever way it goes is unlikely to resolve the 136-year-long dispute. [ cheering ] it's only a game, some kay. 22 men kicking a ball about. but there are those in both chile and bolivia who believe that the 90 minutes of play symbolically may represent more than just a game of football. al jazeera, santiago. >> copa america favorites argentina will look to confirm their spot when they face
