tangled near the israeli border. 17 killed and 13 more injured when the rebels attacked more than a dozen military checkpoints. also left more than 100 i.s.i.l. fightersed today, in what's the deadliest fighting in what was believed to be the yom kippur war. it stands ready to assist egypt in addressing the security threat. jerald tan has more. >> june 30th, initially a national holiday in egypt to commemorate the removal of mohammed morsi two years ago. instead it was a day of rg mourning for be hisham barakat who was assassinateed earlier.

>> the hands of justice have chained by laws. we will not wait, within days criminal laws that can help face new developments such as terrorism should be presented. >> reporter: those developments could be a direct reference to monday's assassination. the car bomb bore the hallmarks of a group based on the sinai peninsula which have been waging attacks on security forces. police are also investigating if the group was behind another explosion on tuesday in the cairo district of 6 october district. some opposition leaders are worried that president sisi will use the new laws to further crack down on the outlawed muslim brotherhood group. >> translator: this will lead to nothing butte catastrophe. it will undermine an shake the foundation of justice in egypt. it will undermine the judiciary system in egypt.

>> reporter: hundreds of muslim brotherhood members have been sentenced to death including ousted president mohammed morsi. he still has many supporters like these demonstrators calling for his reinstatement and the return of democracy. they say the government is out to crush dissent replacing mass protests with mass force. jerald tan, al jazeera. >> ypg and syrian rebel groups on june 15th. there is still some fighting in some pockets. zeina khodr is near the syrian turkey border with more. >> last border crossing along

the syrian turkish border under the islamic state of iraq and the levant. it has been a quiet frontier but turkish officials say there is peace with a terrorist organization. >> we don't have any confrontation with them so i.s.i.l. is on the syrian side and we protect our own borders. >> reporter: but i.s.i.l. preparing for war. planting explosive. many believe it is just a matter of time before the syrian town of jerablos books battle ground and that battle could be decisive. outside the control of the government in northern syria. the kurds now control 400 of the 900 kilometer border from syria

to turkey, from iraq to kobani. that means they would have to fiduciary further west towards jerablos. the kurds will not only have to capture i.s.i.l. controlled villages along the way and advance beyond the town of mara to where syrian opposition groups of strong. they succeed they would control the entire border with turkey and the supply routes, turkey would see that as a threat, not because it supports the syrian rebel groups but because it also considers the ypg a terrorist organization. there are reports its military is considering a cross border operation. reenforcements have been sent to the border. >> translator: the syrian people will confront them.

>> reporter: for now the turkish military buildup is felon on a scale to require intervention but the option is on the table. zeina khodr, al jazeera turkish border. caliphate only expanded parts of iraq and syria. led by a call to action by i.s.i.l, that brought about more i.s.i.l. attacks beyond the middle east. i.s.i.l. linked groups have struck in saudi arabia, yemen kuwait teuns tunisia and libya. i.s.i.l. has inspired attacks on western targets as well in france canada and australia while here in the u.s. i.s.i.l. claimed responsibility at a draw

muhammed contest in texas. douglas olivant joins us from d.c. tonight. good to see you doug. >> evening antonio. >> we have discussed in the past how i.s.i.l. was underestimated, the president referring to i.s.i.l. as the jv. >> right. >> but given geographical breadth of i.s.i.l.'s attacks did we underestimate them again even after they took over those large parts of iraq and syria and had begun to be taken more seriously? >> i think we underestimated them, in two aspects. the first and most disturbing was what we saw this past weekend. their ability to coordinate attacks on three different continents in time and space. that i.s.i.l. was able to have attacks occur more or less simultaneously in france, tunisia and kuwait. their central command has the ability to coordinate attacks at

multiple spaces over time and space. what we're talking about tonight is the role of the affiliates in egypt, in gaza, elsewhere. these mostly have been there for a long time. there have been islamists in egypt, in tunisia in libya in gaza for a long long time. what they've mostly done is adopted the i.s.i.l. name and affiliated themselves with this. so as i tell friends this is like your local coffee shop putting a starbucks sign up. it's always done that, but under a more recognizable brand name. >> you think those attacks were not coordinated by let's call it i.s.i.l. central? >> my guess is, probably not. like e-that these are local islamists with local agendas who have been doing this for years. we've talked oegyptian soldiers,

they've seen these guys before, they know they are issues long before i.s.i.l. was on the scene. that doesn't mean they get empowered by taking on the i.s.i.l. name, attracting more recruits and more money and maybe having some ties to the central. but in the main they've probably been doing this for a while. >> now i.s.i.l. also reportedly put out a have video threatening hamas in gaza. that hamas isn't extreme enough. what's i.s.i.l. hoping to achieve with that? >> right, so i.s.i.l. does that to a number of long time mainstream islamist groups, hamas in gaza or the muslim brotherhood in egypt. these are the groups who work within the system. the muslim brotherhood for a while ran all of egypt they recognize the state system and boundaries. i.s.i.l. doesn't recognize that, it wants to recognize the sal

fate and anyone who doesn't isn't sufficiently them. in gaza there have been islamists for a long time. what they've done for a long time is affiliate themselves with i.s.i.l. this gives them additional cache and prestige. there is no mistaking they are stronger now but the core has been there for a long time. >> aside what has been going on in gaza, you have israel closing its borders over security occurrence. el nusra is fighting, now i.s.i.l. fighting south of the country or an i.s.i.l. affiliate so how concerned should israel be? >> the chaos in the region hats to be a real concern for israel. israel needs stability in the region. if there are states around that control their territory control their people rational people can then have conversations. we have more or less had peace in the region for israel since the 1973 war or arguably since

the lebanon war ended. now that these states no longer control peace and now syria is nothing more than chaos and the egyptians no longer control at least parts of the sinai at times this has to be worrisome for israel. >> around i.s.i.l.and i.s.i.l. is calling for attacks all around the month of ramadan. doug thank you for being with us. >> iran's nuclear program the extended talks between world powers and iran continues. the nuclear watch group has made a detour to tehran. james bays has more. >> reporter: the detailed negotiations go on here 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

think at the end of this when a deal's done that there's been as muchsome sort of misunderstanding. in the coming hours the idea is to give this process momentum to try and get this thing moving towards a deal which they want to achieve in the next week or so. perhaps more importantly though than the ministers coming to vienna is that a prominent figure is leaving vienna and going to tehran. the iaea. head. would they be allowed to go to military sites and everywhere? there are questions that the iaea has been asking iran for years. if iran doesn't come clean for what it's done in the past how

can you trust it in the future. >> james bays reporting from vienna. the promise of relaxed sanctions have had many iranians hopeful. ali velshi is in tehran talking about the negotiations. >> it is early morning here in tehran, capital city of iran. subdued but conscious optimism that the deal will be on right track. not a influence deadline, just an extension of the july 1st deadline. the conversations are still going on in geneva but the sticking point is how the west determines what the nuclear program is about. when you speak to officials they will tell you, this is about civilian use not military use. the west in some cases believe that iran is developing nuclear weapons or wants to develop nuclear weapons doesn't have the capability to do so yet but

will, what type of access will inspectors get to nuclear enrichment facilities, production facilities and centrifuges. there is also a very specific request and that is that the iaea get to interview iran's senior nuclear scientists to determine from them what kind of work has been done in iran. by determining that they'll get a sense of whether vaughn telling the truth whether it's a civilian nuclear pranl or whether it's nuclear bomb or missiles that have been aimed for. iranians have said until recently that's a nonstarter. the ayatollah has said he's not going to have foreigners talk about nuclear scientists, with nuclear scientists. gives some people some hope that there may still be progress an this may be moving forward. now if it does move forward and a deal is arrived at by july

7th the president of the united states has to give it to congress by july 9th the coming has 30 days to give it yes or no vote. the ayatollah has to approve it but one gets a sense he has been consulted with this and if iran leaves vienna with a deal, the deal is likely to be approved. >> we'll have more at 10:30 with ali velshi "on target." >> both countries cuba and united states will reopen their embassy abouts. rosalyn jordan has the story. >> reporter: united states delivers a be letter.

on state television the state presenter reads a letter from raul castro to president obama confirming that on july 20th its embassy in washington will be open for business. workers recently installed a new flag pole outside of what was called the cuban entrance program. all this overdue. >> we begin a new chapter with our neighbors in the americas. >> in the short term there will be increased business and personal travel between the two countries. but the process of normalization will take much longer. the u.s. says cuba still has a poor human rights record and its trade embargo on cuba can't be lifted without an act of congress, something the president will find very difficult to achieve. the move to restore ties between havana and washington has been years in the making but there are many in congress who object.

senator coe marco rubio is threatening to block any entrance of united states into the island. of two minds. >> i don't know what obama is thinking, the cuban people going to benefit? right, give me a break. the cuban peeb is going people is going to get nada. >> you cannot erase 55 years of what has happened which is very real, just because the united states and america -- and cuba have decided that one day they're going to open an embassy. that is not going to go away but it is a good start for new beginnings. >> reporter: a turning point in diplomacy and perhaps in the minds of millions on both sides of the street in florida. rosalyn jordan, al jazeera the

state department. >> coming up. the new relationship on migrants from cuba. a new book, desert diplomat takes a look at the years following 9/11.

>> in context tonight the changing relationship between the u.s. and cuba. many cuban migrants already in america are wary of what the future holds. and as al jazeera april andy gallagher reports from miami a misconception could send many more cubans to america. >> 1960 back then its sole purpose was to aid those fleeing

persecution. and over the decades they have helped thousands resettle here. these new arrivals spent months planning their journey and all came on boats they built in secret. this man who doesn't want to be named spent three weeks at sea before he made landfall and the driving forces are the same. >> translator: i came here because of the economic situation we have over there. we're poor. we don't receive a salary. we don't get a chance to better ourselves or do what we like. we can't. there's no way to do that. >> reporter: and it is those sentiments that have led miami to become known as cuba's second capital city. who would have guessed the last few months would have brought such monumental change. many of them will give you the same reasons as to why they did it. many already have family here.

others want better job prospects and of course a better standard of living. but since december's historic announcement there is also other reasons why they are be risking their lives to come to the united states. bepriiveldpriferldunbe beprivileged status. they can lose that status and they won't be welcome anymore. >> for these men life has altered dramatically. and if there are changes in cuba most won't say. this man refuses to talk about changes ton island. he has loved ones in cuba and won't risk the possibility of

repercussions. >> joining us for our in context segment, mayor of coral gables, florida. now we have a date for the opening of the embassies. and secretary of state is expected to be in havana for the opening of the american embassy there in cuba. how much a difference will this make inside the island? >> i don't think it's going to make that much difference. what we're really doing is we have the same facility, the same number of people. the same location. what we're going to be doing is putting up our american flag and changing the swiss embassy plaque out for the american. unless we can move forward for normalization, which entails a lot of steps so we can operate freely on the island and we see signs this cuba is actually moving towards a more free economic and political system i

don't think cuba will see much more than an influx of american tourists which for them is important because cubans as you said on your earlier segment they are looking to get out. if they can find an american to marry they will do that. >> the uptick of cubans making the dangerous crossing since the normalization of relations people are going to be more worried that those special policies towards cuban refugees could go away now that we have a date certain for the embassies to open? >> i think so. we have already seen it, they have special privileges no other nationality has. the obvious conclusion is that the next step might be to end the special privileges. they're going to get out while the getting's good. they are streaming out not only

by sea but mexico, the bahamas marrying more foreigners and they have more prospects to get off the island. >> in a recent piece you just wrote for the miami herald, you say cuba jails more dissidents. do you think that will continue once the hiatus is over? >> what the cubans are saying, we don't have an opposition here, it is illegitimate, you have to engage going forward price has the united states paid -- what price has the united states paid? >> in raul castro's letter to president obama about the opening of the embassies shouldn't allow for interference in each other's affairs.

>> on december 17th he was dressed in his military uniform saying sort of, read my lips, we will take your tourists and your money but we are not going to change, we're going to improve socialism. they've made it very clear and he we have to believe them. they're willing to take our money and our tourists but they are not going to change their system. go ahead. >> you wrote the situation with u.s. and cuba remains on the embargo? i heard beb ben roasdz, roasdz, the rhodes, is it not time after a half century of policies that have not worked in opening up cuba? >> i think you have to look at, you know, we basically said we are going to try a new policy but remember the policy that we

are trying is one that every government in the united states has been engaged with, when they announced what they were doing it was the same thing we are saying that we think it's going to lead to changes in cuba. unfortunately, there are some countries that it takes two to tango and if they don't want to tango, we're not going to dance. unless we have some american exceptionalism or something unique about us, i call it democratic pixie dust, dust, it's unlikely that they'll change their system. they want our money. they basically want loan guarantees from us because they don't have the money they need to keep the economic system to thering along. >> coral gables mayor, thank you for joining us.

the united nations raises a concern over a crisis in which thousands of civilians have already died. rescuing thousands of children from the hands of the nazis.

drop in the bucket. many are worried about this uptick in the sales tax and also cuba. it's the first day of a new fiscal year in puerto rico. the sales tax jumped to 11.5% to help curb the island's financial crisis but the reality is, more than $70 billion in debt looms. >> hola. robert ray, al jazeera america hola. >> an emergency meeting between mayors and the governor on wednesday looking for solutions and common ground on perhaps the biggest challenge the commonwealth has ever faced. >> you guys are mayors. you have a finger on the pulse probably a little bit tighter than governor has. >> that's what we're here for. >> and do you believe that the governor is doing this in the correct way with negotiating with bond holders and also washington, d.c. or what would you guys do differently? >> there are huge ideologic

differences here but the main thing here the most important thing is to get puerto rico out of this problem and we all have to get through it together whether we think alike or not. >> the mayors also told al jazeera they are fight being for statehood and they feel like second class citizens and need washington's help but the white house has said don't expect a bailout. carlos rodriguez and his family have owned this store on a colorful cobblestone street in old san juan since 1918 these days they keep the lights off. because the electricity is so high. >> i'm a bit angry because this was -- we knew it was coming, since about ten 12 years ago. the way we were going it was going to happen sometime but

somebody probably didn't take the right measures to stop this. >> on the mall, a surprising reaction to the sales tax increase. >> i think expenditures is too high. cell phone too low. it should be about 20. >> reporter: not only is the sales tax a concern with cuba opening its doors will that affect this island? for many in puerto rico, cuba is seen as an opportunity and potential boost to the economy. >> cuba has to reconstruct housing, sewer infrastructure, power infrastructure. in puerto rico, we have architects engineers and contractors can help them with that work. >> for now that's all wishful thinking. >> is this politics at its best? do you think it's going to be a

solution or is there a game plan. >> no, there's a solution, but it's going to take hard work. it's not going to happen in one or two days, or one or two months. it's going to take a while. >> governors say they will have an economic restructuring plan by the end of august. antonio, you know a lot of people have already left the main island here to head to the mainland u.s.a. in search of a better opportunity more jobs. and a lot of families we spoke to, today and also yesterday say that they expect more of that to happen in the coming months ahead. as the economy here and the government just sort of sputters along trying to figure out exactly what to do with this massive debt looming over puerto rico. antonio. >> robert ray in san juan, thank you. last week's attack on a tunisia beach. the bodies were offloaded from a

military aircraft. postmortem examinations will be carried out before the bodies are released to their families. 29 were british citizens. the return of all the bodies could take several days. at the same time, tunisia is now beefing up security across tourist hot spots. a thousand are patrolling, including the sousse report. thousands of tourists have left tunisia's beaches since last friday's shootings. the losses could amount to a half billion dollars. the humanitarian crisis in yemen has reached level 3 the highest threat level. 1400 civilians have been killed by violence since the end of march and disease is spreading fast. 21 million yemeni people are in need of aid. many of them children.

mohammed jamju reports on their plight. >> reporter: this young girl is unconsolable. shocked with what's happened to the homes in her neighborhood, homes that were hours ago still standing. why did they do this? she asks through her tears. in yemen devastation has become the norm. >> the situation in yemen is very critical. especially for children who are the most vulnerable groups. >> reporter: 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. >> reporter: hundreds have died since the start of the fighting. some from wounds easily treatable if only they'd had access to better be health care.

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 koran. praying for an end to a war that's 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 mall malnutrition. a situation so dire the u.n. warns yemen could be on the verge of a famine. the misery is difficult to see and hard to miss. the pain in their eyes is easy to recognize as the bruises and burns on their bodies.

then there are the others. their youthful appearance hides a suffering no one their age should endure. mohammed jamjum, al jazeera. trying to negotiate a humanitarian pause if the fighting with yemen's government in exile. 1200 inmates broke out of jail yesterday. officials think as many as eight members of al qaeda were among those freed when houthi rebels attacked the prison. this will make the fighting in yemen even worse. here to talk about the complexities in yemen ambassador very good to have you. >> good to be with you. >> all of a sudden you are thrown into being ambassador to saudi arabia if the days after

9/11. it was an incredibly delicate time. what lessons did you take away from your tenure there? >> first you have to get your feet on the ground. i got some very good advice from one of the other diplomats. he said, a good ambassador has four ears and only half of a tongue. i did a lot of listening to start with and felt more empowered to speak. i think you have got to be careful, you don't want to pop off, you've got to be judicious how to use your stature. >> what lessons have you learned? >> it's important to have strong alliances in the middle east. we need a strong anchor ally, that could be saudi arabia along with united arab emirates.

you don't want iran to be running rampant with its interests in the middle east. and taking over. and so you've got ohave a way of balancing those interests. >> and how were the saudis? i know you spent years there after you were ambassador and still in touch with people there. how do they feel with the potential negotiations with iran? >> they are very skeptical. they are worried about a grand bargain afoot which would essentially give iran free reign, in creating a shia crescent. they are concerned about economic implications. once sanctions are lifted iran will become an economic powerhouse. they have enormous human capital and enormous human resources and i think this will make it very hard for the saudis to compete with them economically.

>> strongest nonarab ally in the middle east is israel. that is a difficult balancing act for the united states. being strongly allied with the saudis and of course even more strongly allied with israel. how did that play into what you found in your years as ambassador and since then? >> during my time of course the israeli-palestinian issue was the hot issue of the day. the saudis were very critical of our failure to bring peace to the middle east, to bring a resolution to that conflict. i think many of them thought we had more power than we did. they thought we could snap our fingers and somehow the israelis would jump in and we'd have peace. that's of course not way it works and so one of the lessons learned is you can't make things happen if you don't have partners for peace. that's something that president bush emphasized with me as well. >> there have been statements

made that the relationship is more frayed than it has been in the past. >> i think it's going through some rough spots right now. there's been really a lack of personal diplomacy. president obama has not bonded with king abdalla or his successor king salman. our officers trained together, they study in our command colleges, they grow up in the ranks together. that part is very strong. >> the succession, things got shaken up when king salman took over. >> it remains how successful it will be. so far it's been very successful. it's been orderly. there has been no rioting in the streets. there has been no dissention from any senior members of the royal family but i think what we see now is a new generation coming in.

the new crown prince mohammed ben naif is well respected from all quarters. i certainly know him well, think he will be a great crown prince and later king. there is concern about deputy crown prince, the son of the king, he'll rumored to be 29 or 30 years old during my time as ambassador he would have been 18 or 19. he has enormous responsibility. >> the book is desert diplomat. pleasure to have you. >> thank you antonio. saudi arabia'ssaudi arabia's charity al waleed throiched philanthropy.

emotionally you know? >> kim bak da would like to return home, with the knowledge that the u.s. will play a role in the issues of her country so that it can moved forward. >> i think the japanese government is saying the entire thing was done by civilians. the crime was done at a state level and not by civilians. >> she says she has been waiting most of her life for an apology. lisa bernard, al jazeera. died today at the age of 106. al jazeera courtney kealy has the story. >> during his trip to czechoslovakia in 1936. on his return to britain he
