and. >> the amount of damage they can do to the coral and i've seen it firsthand is quite amazing. >> reporter: wreaking. >> the area is now in lockdown. getting to the area has been difficult. the increased violence began beginning with the killing of the state prosecuteor. that prompted a crackdown. one of the dead is a prominent

muslim brotherhood lawyer. the government says that the brotherhood members were armed a claim that the organization denies. al jazeera arabic spoke to a brotherhood spokesman. he gave this description of the raid in cairo. >> it was a meeting supporting the family of victims. >> they were all killed in cold blood. this failed president is now murdering those supporting the families of those victims. the members were widows of the victims. this criminal murderer with the state prosecutor was killed days ago. he blamed the innocent in the killing. among the victims was an engineer the head of the committee supporting the victims' families, and the deputy head of the bar

association. he is the legal adviser to the detainees. they both, along with the other fellow committee members were murdered. they were not armed. nor were they engaged with any fighting with their their assassins. they were unarmed unsuspecting persons following the a the affairs of the families of those detainees. >> we have more from the north sinai. >> these pictures film from the gaza strip show a blast in the egyptian town of rafah. it comes a day after egypt buried it's public prosecutor, who was killed in a car bomb attack in cairo. president el-sisi has ordered his cabinet to change current laws with how they deal with terrorism. violence in sinai has increased.

groups have killed dozens of soldiers. the group swore allegiance to the islamic state in iraq and the levant and carried out more attacks and has proven to be one of egypt's biggest throats. egypt has carried out attacks against what it says are terrorist hide outside. they have killed dozens of fighters and arrested many others. 700 people, fighters, soldiers and some civilians have been killed this year alone. the government has demolished houses near the border of the gaza strip and israel. it says it is creating a five kilometer buffer zone to prevent weapons smuggling. hundreds of families have been forced out of their homes. the sinai problems are not new. presidents complain of neglect under development, employment and poverty. many hearsay they have been treated as second-class citizens

by egyptian governments. >> here with me, the senior security associate fellow at the think tank in london and the deradicalization of jihadist movements. tell me, what do you think of the scale of the attacks we're seeing in north sinai. is it bigger than what we've seen before? >> i think it's significantly bigger and significantly expanding as well. and sinai province, it was not as strong in 2014 as it was in 2015, and we've had a different scale of operations. this is compared to anything that we've had in egypt in terms of none state actors conducting attacks on hard targets military targets beginning back in january attacking multiple

targets. they will retreat successfully in terms of trying to mine their way out and protect their retreat. >> we heard a few minutes ago from the spokesman for the egyptian military suggesting that they've made to kill or capture the--killed i think they said not less than a hundred of these fighters. what is your interpretation of what the egyptian military is saying at this point. >> if you count the numbers the response person said they killed in july 2015 when the de-escalation happened, we would probably be talking about over 4,000 people. there is a problem, a credibility problem with the spokesperson. before that they declared

multiple leaders killed. and then shows up showing the armored vehicles and some of the weapons they captured from the military. some other figures like they killed more than three times and then comes up reading his obituary on a laptop. >> what can the military do to--is it likely to change its tactic? it sounds like the continuing military operations, but in other case where is they've had these problems with isil and these groups, people have tried to cop-opposite against the local people and fight against isil. is that an option for them at all or is that off the cards. >> so far the dominant faction in the houthi establishment is old school. manying that eradication is the way and you can bomb your way out of this problem. this seems to be unsuccessful

since 15 years. the problem seems to be festering and getting worse and the insurgency getting stronger as opposed to weaker, which means in the end they need to revise this policy and change it especially looking at the roots of support on one hand, and then also what should be how sinai as a whole northeast sinai specifically should be dealt with in a very different way. security was implemented and the continuation would fester the problem. >> thank you very much, indeed, for your answers. >> thank you. >> now, the greek prime minister hasri' firmed that reaffirmed that there will be a referendum on sunday. in a letter he told lenders that athens could expect their bail out offer if some conditions were changed.

tsipras asked for a $29 billion loan to cover the country's repayment for two years. here's barnaby phillips. >> reporter: this man has a different job telling pensioners they have to wait. they are allowed in the bank one by one to collect money. they've been here for hours. these seens are not helpful for alexis tsipras just days before the referendum. but he's telling greeks their money is safe and they should vote no to strengthen greece's position in the negotiations. >> no does not mean a split division but a return to the values. no means strong pressure for economically viable agreement that will give solutions to the debt. >> the greek prime minister has made a new offer with concessions, but it seems that many of europe's most powerful

politicians are now giving him the cold shoulder. >> i always kept to what we agreed on, what our rules are what we agreed on in europe and what the national roles are. if then had done the same greece would not be in such a desperate situation, looking for a culprit outside of greece may be helpful in greece, but it has nothing to do with reality. >> while europe's leaders bicker what do tourists think? tourism is vital to the economy. we saw them hiking up to the acropolis some oblivious to the crisis, some taking it in their stride. >> i just brought cash from home basically. >> we foe that there are problems here, but we'll carry on as normal as far as we're concerned. >> for the greeks themselves the situation is much more worrying. they can't escape their

country's financial crisis. yet for all the tension and disagreements in this country the vast majority of greeks have dealt with the situation with great calm and patience. giving legal advice to bankrupt greeks. 120,000 have declared bankruptcy in the past five years. but what can she possibly tell them now? >> even as lawyers we are afraid about what will happen next. there is are little answers at the moment. we will wait for the end of the week. maybe things will happen, maybe not. we'll see. >> some how amidst all this the greeks have to make a momentous decisions in the coming days about about their country's future. >> the greeks politician lecturer here, thank you for

your time. so far the euro group has said today there won't be further talks with greece until after the referendum. that seems to be the position also from germany. which way do you think it's going to go? >> well, it seems to me that the majority of greek people realize that the only viable route for greece is inside the european union. and inside the eurozone as well. so i think that the majority will actually come to vote yes on sunday. and it actually imperative that they vote yes because this is a disastrous call for action that the greek government has been following in recent months and in recent weeks. there is no alternative for greece no matter how hard the conditions are and they are hard. but they can be negotiated at moment inside. not from outside. and the road back from

bankruptcy if it confines itself into the wilderness of being outside of the eurozone and in bankruptcy, the road back is a very long and much harder one. >> interesting some on the left are furious that greece has not made concessions at all. some have said that no means yes, and they are going to fight this. presumably the political road ahead for greece is still if there is a clear answer. >> the political road ahead is a very complicated one in greece. because of greece's very delicate geopolitical situation the decision that had to be made cannot be just one that is made on economic terms but gee joe geo geopolitical terms. greecely longs to the union. they are not enemies they're partners and it's only together

that they'll come to viable solutions in the long run. the deals in the greek economy has been longstanding and going on for decades and they are the result of incredible mismanagement and corruption within greece. the european union through original funding structural funding, they have been supporting greece for decades. but once you join the group and you sign particular agreement you also have to stick to them. you can be bailed out once, twice, three times but if you do not stick to the conditions that you have greed then of course you lose confidence of the markets and the institutions. it is political as well as a matter of economic. >> sorry, i was going to ask you about the referendum itself. the council in europe questioned the holding of it, and that it fell short of international standards because it's such a short amount of time to prepare for it. some people are saying that the questions are really confusing.

do you think that it there is a responsibility that it could be canceled at the last moment? >> what will be canceled? >> the referendum. >> none of us has the crystal ball, and the government has changed its mind so many times in the last 24 hours that has gone by its impossible to predict what they will come up with tomorrow. what is important is that they should never have walked out of the talks last weekend. they should have been the last to walk out of those talks and in fact, stay there all through the weekend, all through the night, dragging the other partners back and trying to get a decision before the deadline expires. for the the money that is owed to the international monetary fund. >> there is no point and it is

a good opportunity for the greek people to show the government but also show the world how they feel they want to proceed in the future. and this is why the european institutions and even the international monetary fund say that they're not prepared to really discuss and agree things at this stage until there is a verdict of the greek people. >> thank you for joining us. >> bye bye. >> the u.n. say that 20 million people need aid and raises it's level of alert to the highest. more violence in burundi as the country waits for the results of the part parliamentary elections. and in sport in wimbledon the temperatures soar.

now after a half century of hostility the u.s. and cube have summited the era of diplomacy. the two nations are reopening making the announcement barack obama said that both sides are ready to move forward. >> a very public act of diplomacy. the u.s. representative in havana presents a letter to the interim foreign minister. washington restores its ties with the island nation after more than 50 years. >> on cuban state television a presenter reads a letter from the president to u.s. president barack obama confirming the same. and that on july 20th its embassy in washington will be open in business. at the white house obama said that that day was long over do youdue. >> this is a step forward to

normalize the relations with the cuban government and people and begin a new chapter with our neighbors in the americas. >> in the short term reestablishing ties means that there will be increased business and personal travel between the two countries. but the process of normalization will take much long prosecutor cubalonger. the people of cuba want the area of the guantanamo bay to be returned. >> there are those who want to turn back the clock and double down on isolation. but it's long pastime to realize that this approach does not work. it has not work ford 50 years. it shuts america out of cuba's future and maybe life worse for the cuban people. i ask the congress to listen to the cuban people and to listen to the american people. >> the move to restory ties has been years in the making but there are many in congress who object.

senator marco rubio a cuban american and republican presidential candidate is threatening to block any nomination of any ambassador to the island. >> that is called the u.s. interest section in havana. they're focused on what this means to them. >> it's five times i have come to this embassy. this will be better yet. >> we've been in this situation for 56 years and i think this will benefit the country in certain respects, and i think it benefits those of us who want to see our families and children who are in the u.s. >> a turning point in diplomacy and perhaps in the lives of millions on both sides of the straits of florida. >> we appreciate the regional implications with our latin american editor lucinda newman. how has it been receive there had? >> in the whole of latin america, this has been

applauded. in fact, when president barack obama met with brazil's president rousseff, she applauded and said that it puts it in tune with the rest of the region. that's part of the reason why washington was so keen to make this announcement as quickly as it could because it's been under tremendous pressure from all the latin american countries and european countries as well to end this kind of cold war against cuba. the united states has been seen as a bully. so very, very good news. not only for the cubans, but for the entire region. >> and more practically in cuba what will it mean initially? >> initially i think the biggest impact will be psychological on the cuban people. remember, it's felt like a country that is under seen from the world's largeest were

superpower. this means that they can agree to disagree. they no longer have to be enemies, and that's no small thing for the 12 million cuban people who have friends and relatives living just across the-for-the florida straits in the united states. >> you've reported on the region. how does it feel for you to see something like this? >> yes well, i lived in cuba for nine years. the united states was always been painted as the enemy. many people thought this would never happen or it wouldn't happen in their lifetime. i was beginning to wonder the same myself. so it was an extraordinary thing. i think at least in my lifetime i haven't seen or witnessed such an enormous shift diplomatic shift anywhere until this announcement was made. >> lucinda newman, thank you very much, indeed. >> thank you. >> and let's go live to washington, d.c. and al jazeera's kimberly halkett is

there. so from your end what are the next steps? >> well, what i can tell sue that i'm sitting outside of a cuban intersection. this is a place where we've seen an awful lot of activities. it shows that this was immanent. because we've seen a lot of activity the erecting of a flagpole. the repainting of the driveway. why is it a big deal? because for the first time in half a century we'll see a cuban flag flying over this building. this has been a de facto embassy, but soon it will enjoy the full diplomatic relations they have enjoyed in the past. there are still some sharp differences outlined between the two nations but there are areas moving forward that will mean common areas of cooperation. law enforcement transportation, telecommunications. you have to remember that these two countries are 120 kilometers

apart, and the fact that their geography makes it perfect sense to have this. cooperation and something to be enjoyed. >> what about a push back against this? >> right, of course, there is going to be some pushback. roslind outlined a little bit of it. but i can tell you from covering congress for a number of years this is a very contentious relationship between the u.s. congress and the white house. there are many on capitol hill who want to push this. there is still the advancement of freedom assembly of human rights, and the economic embargo that is still in place it should not be lifted. the president has a challenge on his hand working with congress, and that's always going to be very disappointing not only for those who live in cuba and want the freedom of economy but many

here living in the united states there are tremendous obstacles that remain. >> kimberly halkett thank you very much, indeed. 16 civilians have been killed and 25 wounded in rocket fire in the yemeni city of aden. they are said to have fired rockets and mortar rounds on homes and other areas in the city. they say that the hospitals in aid reason overwhelmed and working around the clock. u.n. has raised its emergency response to the humanitarian situation to level three, the highest. it says more than 1400 civilians have been killed by fighting in saudi-led airstrikes since march, and as million as 20 million people need aid. many of them children. [ crying ] >> this young girl is inconsole inconsolable. shocked by what has happened to the homes in her neighborhood. houses that hours ago were still

standing. >> why did they do this? she asks through her tears. in yemen devastation has become the norm. >> they are the most vulnerable of groups. >> a collective trauma, physical and emotional that grows by the day. >> we don't have any protection environment to live in. they feel scared. they feel really insecure. >> hundreds have died since the start of the fighting. some from wounds into that would be treatable if they had access to better healthcare. the crisis here says this nurse gets worse because of the fuel shortage because children like this don't have access to transportation and can't get to the hospital when they need.

>> in this shelter for the displaced boys and girls recite the qur'an, praying for an end to the war that has brought more misery upon them. >> like the shortage of water in a country already running out of the precious resource. and a spike in child malnutrition rates among a population already without enough food. a situation so dire that the u.n. warns that yemen could be on the verge of a famine. the misery is not difficult to see and hard to miss. the pain in their eyes easy to recognize with the bruises and burns on their bodies. then there are others. the youthful appearance shows a suffering that no one their age should endure. >> much more still ahead on the news hour, including turkish

tensions, fears that syria's war could inflame old problems along the border. and also talks inch close for a final deal for iran's nuclear future. and it's been one of the hottest days on record, wimbledon. we'll show how is in sizzling form in sport. plan

>> these people have decided that today they will be arrested. >> i know that i'm being surveilled. >> people are not getting the care that they need. >> this is a crime against humanity. >> hands up... >> don't shoot. >> hands up... >> don't shoot. >> what do we want? >> justice. >> when do we want it?

>> now. >> explosions going on... we're not quite sure - >> is that an i.e.d.? >> "faultlines". al jazeera america's award-winning investigative series. monday, 10:00 eastern. on al jazeera america. >> a reminder of the top stories here in al jazeera. egypt's prime minister said that it's country is in a state of war after attacks left 17 soldiers dead in the north sinai. the muslim brotherhood said that a number have been killed outside of cairo. and the greek prime minister has reaffirmed that the country will go through with the referendum on the bailout decision and he's urging people to vote no.

and a framework iran will scale down it's nuclear program and not build nuclear weapons. our diplomatic editor james bays bays. >> there are still some sticking points and a great deal for them to get through because this is supposed to be the final agreement. they have a great deal of detail to make sure that neither side feelings there has been a misunderstanding. the idea is to give the process momentum get this moving towards a deal over the next week or so. perhaps more importantly is the fact that a prominent figure is leaving vienna going to tehran, the head of the iaea nuclear.

he's on his way to tehran to meet president rouhani. the iaea is key because they would police any deal, and there are controversial aspects of this. for example would inspectors be allowed to go everywhere in iran? will they be allowed to go to military sites? also there are questions that iaea has been asked iran for years about their past nuclear activities and if they don't come clean about the past how can we trust them about the future. >> turkey is fearful of the kurdish advances along the border. >> the flag of turkey and isil just meters apart.

it has been a quiet front tear, but turkish officials say that that does not mean that there is peace with a group they call a terrorist organization. >> isil is along the border. >> isil is preparing for war. it fear there is could be a planned offensive from syrian kurdish fighters. many believe it is just a matter of time before the syrian town becomes a battleground. and that battle will be decisive. it could change the front lines and the balance of power in northern syria. the kurds now control 400 of the 900 kilometers border between syria and turkey.

they would have to push further west. syrian option groups are strong. if they succeed they'll control the entire syrian border with turkey. occur can i would see that as a threat. it is not just because it sports the rebel groups but considers the ypg a terrorist organization. the kurdish independent movement has been an issue for turkey for decades, and there are reports that it's military is considering a cross-border operation to prevent kurds from gaining ground. reinforcements have been sent to the border. the kurds have issued a warning. >> ypg presence.

>> for now the build up is now on the scale required for cross-border intervention. >> in burundi mr. there have been weeks of unrest. violence has been on the increase as they await the election results. [ gunfire ] >> street battles in the burundi's capital between police and opposition members. anyone out on the streets could be hit by stray bullets. they tell people to move to a safer place. whenever there is a few minutes of silence someone makes a run for it. this man says he's lucky to be

alive but angry he has been shot at. >> the police have come to my house. why did he beat me with his gun? i started running away, he shot me. >> those against the president's attempt to run for a third term slowly come back on the streets. they are afraid. >> i hide my face because when i make my face public, they don't want someone to speak truth. if you speak truth they want to take you into prison. maybe they may kill you. >> one police officer and several civilians were killed on wednesday. >> the police and are in the village going house to house door to door, asking people questions, they're looking for weapons because they heard

gunfire overnight. while there is death fear in the capital they will celebrate independence day from belgium. they say burundi's problems are not that bad. >> we're very happy. everything will be fine very soon. >> not too far away a woman who is out buying bread is deastronaut. she left her children home. she said she does not know if they're safe. . >> water quality pollution and climate change means that the future is bleak for australia's australia barrier reef. >> when you're diving on it

most deaths to the reef are not that obvious. half of it has disappeared over the last 30 years choose your spot carefully there are bright coral and fish. and the cold ports being built along the coast are from here far out of sight. but one threat once pointed out is all too obvious. the spikey crowd of thorn starfish. there is a plague of them down here they feed off coral and are toxic to fat. they're injecting the starfish with poison. it works but it's a huge effort. >> the amount of damage they can do to the coral and i've seen it firsthand, it's quite amazing. the coral is facing enough threats as it is. this is something that we can actively do something about.

>> the starfish are thriving because of the plankton that they feed on. far more are surviving than they should. there have been outbreaks in the past, but the latest one is the worst and it's human activities on land that is largely to blame. >> growing sugar cane is big business. farmers use fertilizers when the excess washes off the land into rivers and down to the sea it fertilizes the plankton. this farmer has changed his farming practices. >> i apply it to just 40% of the area. >> the run off on our properties end up in the saltwater. what we do on this land does

effect the reef. >> but bugeua is a younger farmer around here. barack obama last november told students he was worried about the great barrier reef and wanted it to be there for his yet to be born grandchildren. his concern echos the united nations, action globally and locally is needed for the reef to survive. andrew thomas, al jazeera on australia's great barrier reef. >> china has passed a new law giving the state tighter controls over cyberspace. beijing said it's because of growing security threats to their network. there have been tougher measures against online attacks. the wide-ranging law also gives control over territorial waters and air space. >> china's government is obsessed with security and so this law is no surprising.

at the thou allow their large policing apparatus to police the internet. it is a far-reaching law that covers everything there cyberspace to outer space. for instance, we don't know what happens to violators. also it's not clear how to know if you've broken this new law. human rights groups say that vagueness is what is worrying. for instance, it's criticism of the government now tantamount to sub version. is this the response of a government that feels secure and confident or the opposite. on the day that this new security law was passed, thousands of taxi drivers have been staging a strike here in beijing. it's in response to online competition companies like uber. it's not clear at the moment if

this action will end on thursday or continue into friday. this sort of upon spontaneous action makes some wonder about the laws like they've passed today. >> tens of thousands demanded democratic reform on the territory. the tenor was lower than last year where half a million people took part in demonstrations. protesters marched in memory of the street occupations against china's plans to pre-select candidates for city leaders. some call for hong kong's leader to step down. >> still ahead on the program sport including a trail of armed

>> consumer trends. the patriotic nation and made in korea products for many years. but there is great awareness that the goods are cheaper than goods made at home. >> south korea's modern day

prosperity is built on its status as a manufacturer powerhouse exporting to the world. for decades buying korean at home was an expression of national pride but that's changing. more than one in ten cars on the streets are now imported. apple' iphones have taken 33% of the market. it's not just choice but pride. many in south korea are sold by inflateed mark ups. >> whether it's car seats or toys, you can buy at half price. equally, the shipping fees even, you can buy a lot cheaper. >> south koreans have long paid for imported goods sold in

shops. they partly own the monopoly on individual distributors. but increasingly people are fed up with having to pay more than anywhere else for items that are made right here at home. it's a phenomenon that includes everything from cars to appliances. this item cost 5,000 here at home. the big:gers have been accused of taking their domestic market for granted using it to subsidize experts. the defense is that distributors sell at huge volume and discounted prices and that the products are different too. >> even though t.v.'s are the same size they can be functionally different. those sold in korea come in uhd or 3d and they make differences.

>> but people are tired of explanations. shoppers are looking hard at domestic manufacturers. al jazeera seoul. >> let's turn to sport now. >> thank you. well, we saw that wimbledon where the players have been battling out in some of the hottest continues ever seen at the championships. the temperature exceeded 35-degree, it was a case of trying to get the job done as quickly and comfort ply asbly as possible on day he three. >> predicting one the hottest days in the history of the old england championships in london. it's not just the players who are in danger. everyone has to take precautions against the heat.

keeping cool. >> the weather is not as bad as i thought. maybe people were talking about it predicting really difficult conditions, but i did not find it as difficult as i thought it might be. >> what you don't wanted in conditions like this is a three and a half hour five-set marathon, and you don't want to lose the match on a double fault. that's what happened against the favorite. >> now it's down to three

radiating maria sharapova the former champion losing just four games. >> just the preparation and understanding that it's going to be warm, not going for too much just because you want to make the points quicker than normal because of the heat, and just being a little bit smarter is the most important. >> and as it was confirmed as the hottest july day in some parts of london since records began, another expected holiday she lost to. >> the 2012 champion is playing hundred gather currently holding all the grand slam titles. she's taking the first set 6-4.

against 2011 runners up paraguy. messi kicked in the 15th minute getting argentina up to an ideal start. setting up the he opening goal. but this was just the start of messi's night to remember as he found torre. paraguy would pull one back, scoring in the 43rd minute. they're still very much in contention at the break. but things were about to get worse for paraguy much worse as manchester united man messi once again making a mockery of its defense, argentina in again.

a brilliant header by sergio aguero. they would finish off the scoring round 6-1 at full time to set up a final joe down with chile. >> hopefully we'll win it. we're very happy. we arrived very well and we'll play against a very good team of chile, which has been showing since the first game that it's one of the best. they're playing at home. it will be a difficult match. >> the most important thing is to keep good feelings because of copa america people always remember the last match. at least we have this opportunity to win with leave with better feelings.
