1.6 billion euros due to the i.m.f. the first developed country to do so. european finance ministers will meet on wednesday to discuss greece's latest proposals to reach a bailout deal. this is what is happening in athens this more morning dozens of pensioners queuing up to withdraw money from their banks. the government has imposed capital controls, only 60 euros a day can be taken out from the cash machines. let's get the latest now from barnaby phillips who is in athens some last-minute proposals in from greece, how much hope is there that a bailout deal might somehow be reached? >> reporter: it's difficult sami, certainly very difficult to see it happening before sunday's ref referendum. angela merkel the german chancellor said the referendum should take place and this won't be an agreement before that. behind the scenes negotiations are going on, i have spoken to a

government minute straight the french cape out this morning as well and said that they were still working and there is a group of euro zone finance ministers gathering in brussels this afternoon. but we know and we have seen it for five months, the gulf between the two sides is very wide. there is very little trust. there was a new greek proposal that was put forward late last night. it was short on detail and i think from the creditors' points of view, very short on explicit references to the kind of cuts and payments that they would be demandsing from greece in return for new money. so let me give you a flavor in my report. mood on the streets of agent ends. they fear their country could slide out of the euro zone. they call themselves the pro-europeans. they want a yes vote in sunday's referendum. there is much talk of last-minute negotiations, but

perhaps the most important player in europe, the german chancellor, is giving nothing away. >> translator: it's clear that we won't close the champions of communication otherwise we wouldn't be the european union that means the door remains open to talks but i can't say more than this. >> reporter: whatever the outcome, many in athens see no good options ahead. he is a typical 29-year-old greek, unemployed, lives with his parents and dismayed by growing divisions in society. >> i have seen a lot of people fighting over should we vote yes or not. are we supposed to make a deal with the creditors. i don't feel optimistic about it at all because if people don't -- are against each other we are not going to get out of this. >> reporter: in this office, margo, a psychologist, counsels the long-term unemployed. a joint government e.u. project

she's had 100 new clients this month alone. >> we sisi a lot of anger. why, there is a big why. why happen this to the country to me, to my family? because many times the mother and the father are unemployed at this moment. and depression. >> reporter: in this crowd many put the blame for greece's predicament on the prime minister alexis tsipras they say he is playing a dangerous game. that he is putting his party's interest a above that of his country. there are wildly different prediction on his how greeks will vote in a ref remember couple of all we do know is the divisions are growing deeper and deep. >> and, of course, the european central bank meeting today. how much of a concern is there about any new restrictions they

might imposing on emergency funding for greek banks. >> reporter: i don't think we are expect that go decision from the european central bank today. but in general terms, there is enormous concern about what the european central bank will do and whether it will help greek banks in the days ahead. of course the bailout program the on old bailout program also expired yesterday coincidentally at the same time that greece went in to arrears with the i.m.f. greece is insolvent, that's quite apparent. greek banks are very closely i want cattily link ed in their finances with the greek state. so we are fast reaching the stage where, according to its own rules, the european central bank should not be providing anymore assistance to greek banks and that raises questions about what is going to happen with greek banks in the weeks ahead. it's a tense atmosphere now in

athens, a new opinion poll came out this morning suggesting that the yes vote in a referendum is gaping ground. but is still behind the no vote. it's very, very volatile the public mood. i think it's dangerous to make predictions, but certainly there are people within the government who are saying that if they were to lose the referendum, in other words, if there were to be a yes vote on sunday they would favor of resigning. so an enormous number of political and financial unknowns in the days ahead. >> thanks so much, barnaby phillips. human rights watch is calling if an investigation in to saudi-led air strikes in generally. the group says attacks against civilians in the houthi strong hold of is duh is duh saada appear to violate international law. >> translator: my wife and four daughters died think all of them. >> reporter: he lost a total of 27 members of his extended

family. most of them children when his home in saada city was hit by a bomb. >> translator: on that night someone came to ask for my daughter' happened in marriage. i didn't even have time to be happy for my daughter before the strike happened. >> reporter: he was interviewed by human rights watch as part of their investigation that found at least six homes in saada were struck by the saudi-led coalition. they found no evidence the homes were housing fighters. >> under the laws of war there is a principle of proportionality in any given strike. so the military target would have to be of such a high value that it would justify a high level of collateral damage with a number like 27 civilian killed, it's very hard to see how they would be justified. >> reporter: five markets an empty school and a crowded petrol station were also hit in saada. the focus of the investigation.

the coalition is attempting to prevent the houthi rebel group from taking over yemen's government. if there was a legitimate reason for strike these civilian targets, saudi arabia has yet to reveal it. neither they nor the united states a country that supports the nine-nation coalition, have yet to respond to human rights watch's request for an investigation. nor despite repeated requests have they responded to al a with no al jazerra. with no if you thinking government in place the united nations says their focuses finding a political solution to the conflict. >> from the perspective of the united nations all of the violence, all of the sort of destruction that we have seen in quite serious. which is why we are trying to push our efforts to get the parties to have a ceasefire or at the very least a humanitarian pause. >> reporter: in the meantime human rights watch says all sides in a complex and now

long-running conflict must follow the rules of war. with no end to the fighting in sight. the hope is to spare civilian says kristen saloomey, al jazerra, the united nations. a professor of political science at kuwait university in pay route, he says houthi rebels are also committing on troughs at thises. >> the report by the hugh map rights was. [ inaudible ] one, we have heard this before, since the beginning of the operation. [ inaudible ] there has been numerous reports by human rights about the civilian casualties. but in war collateral damage it takes place all the time. especially now the war has been going on for over three months and the houthis which -- they are not regular army they resort to gorilla warfare by using human shields and.

british colonial rule this city is still as far away from as ever from running its ona fares it, still feels like a colony. that sense of disillusionment will probably be reflected in the number of people taking part. at this same vent last year over half a million people it's estimated were on the streets. this year organizers are talking about maybe 100,000 people. still those protesters here are claiming that they will continue the political struggles. despite the administration cheer and beijing saying the political saga is over and insisting one day beijing will listen to them. china has passed new laws giving the state stricter control over cyberspace, the national security law was adopt odd wednesday and outlines tougher measures against online attacks. a lot more ahead.

welcome back. let's recap our headlines here on al jazerra now. the egyptian military is involved in a major battle against fighters in northern sinai. a military spokesman says at least 10 soldiers have been

back at the negotiating table with his u.s. opposite number. afterwards only a brief comment and he said i am here to get a deal and i think we can. however, earlier when he spoke to iranian journalists he made it clear that there was still more work to be done. >> translator: i think the negotiations have reached a very delicate stage. we can make progress but this will require political will and a lot of work needs to be done at this stage. >> reporter: also in vienna the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov having also met he compared notes with secretary of state kerry. when he spoke to reporters he gave what was probably the most positive assessment from any of the key players during these lengthy negotiations. >> translator: we have all the ground to suggest that the result is within reach and we gave an instruction to our colleagues deputies and political director to his do everything so that in the coming days this agreement would be reached.

a lengthy process to try to identify them and trying to get the bodies back to the families. it is extremely concerning, this is the sixth fatal military crash in the last 10 years. so it raises questions of concern as to how this could have happened. also political reaction already in parliament on tuesday. politicians questioning whether the military was flying planes that were too old. this particular aircraft is from 1964, however having said that, the hercules c130 is an aircraft with an extremely strong safety record. so this is something that will need to be addressed. why did it go down? we have had a statement from the air force they say they will stop flying the hercules c130 until further investigations. a lot of questions being asked as the country indonesia, with a very poor air safety record. when it comes to civilian aircraft as well. now we have had six military aircraft going down in civilian areas in the last 10 years. so very serious questions will need to be addressed to try to figure out how this will never happen again.

accept bricks, but from the perspective of these teachers rewards the bad behavior of corrupt bureaucrats while ignoring the hard work that they put in for very little pay. it's also unclear how the pay hike will be paid for. it's going to cost the government an additional $3 billion. the initial propose the involved freeing up funds by getting rid of thousands of people in overlapping jobs. but that idea proved a political nonstarter. >> that one because he cannot live with what he gets. i believe this year we shall settle this issue for good. but now i find that this is not -- the solution that it provides is only small. it is greed which has taken over everybody. and greed is the root of corruption. and i don't know how to fight greed. >> reporter: it's a plan that hasn't been fully thought out

yet. but that won't upset him one bit if it means that next time he omahas to show up once to get things done. you may not have noticed but the last minute of june had 61 seconds in it. so-called leap second which occurred for the first time in three years. was add today competent for the speed of the earth's rotation. charlie angela reports from greenwich. >> reporter: time, we are offense losing it, running out of it, but now we are gaining an extra second, at leap second. to keep us in sync with the earth's own sense of time. time used to be measured by the earth's rotation, one complete turn take 24 hours then atomic clocks were invented using the vibrations and atoms to measure time with super accuracy. atomic time is constant but the earth's rotation is gradually slowing down, the two move out of sync by a fraction each day

so we add a leap second every now and again. but there are consequences of tinkering with time. many commuter systems aren't program today deal with the extra seconds and glitches can happen. satellites and gps systems also struggle to cope with the adjustment. at the royal observatory at grin itchgreenwich the home of time timekeeping. this astronomy says team keeping is key to society. >> it's so important. if you look back to the greeks, egyptians, babylonians measuring time was very important for running an urban or agricultural civilization and it still is today even more so. that's why this is an issue and why we need to know how we are keeping track of time. >> reporter: most years the earth runs bang on time and no adjust isn't needed n november scientists vote on whether this taj dal age the leap seconds should be stopped. a polishing them would have no immediate effect. we would hardly notice it. but over many millennia clocks
