because a new war broke out in december 2013 after a power struggle between the president and his deputy. since then look at the numbers 10,000 people killed in 1.6 million displaced internally in south sudan. last month while peace talks were underway rebels captured malakal, it's the capitol of upper nile state, an important oil center. that town has been retaken by the army but much of upper nile remains in rebel hands and have access to rebel forces a bit further east. we begin the news hour with her exclusive report. >> reporter: these are south sudan's rebel fighters sudan people liberation army in opposition. discount from the trenches in the state here and taken them four days through the swam and jungle to get here. young boys among them, the united nation's children organization unicef say there

♪ . >> translator: we are not fighting for control of oil of south sudan. we are fighting the battle of care, he wants to rule the country with an iron fist. >> reporter: they are eager to display some of their weapons. they showed us some of their heavy weapons like this d 30 and weapons and lots of ammunition and sudan has been accused of providing weapons to the rebels but denied this and so have rebels that say most of the supplies come from the south sudan government. >> translator: we are not getting help from sudan or anywhere. if we were we would have won this war a long time ago. it is the other side getting support from sudan. >> reporter: these fighters are heading to yet another front line position, it will be a

long, tough journey on foot but say they are fighting for a cause they believe in. catherine with al jazeera, rebel-held south sudan. we are hoping to speak to the foreign minister of south sudan a little later in this news hour. let's move to other news and taliban claimed responsibility for a suicide car bomb attack on a nato convoy in the capitol kabul. a second attack on native forces in kabul in a week. let's talk to jennifer glasse about this live in the afghan capitol, the latest from you jennifer on these actual attacks. >> reporter: that's right, kamal, the attack happened before noon on a nato convoy and nato says no soldiers were killed in attack and say they have no report of casualties either, an eyewitness at the seen told al jazeera he saw three afghan civilians wounded in that attack a very very large explosion that sent a plume of smoke across the city that can be seen across the city.

the heavily armored vehicle, one of the heavily armored vehicles destroyed in the attack and windows blown out for along that whole block. a residential block. now we are also getting reports just in the last few minutes of another car bomb attack also in the east of the city a few kilometers from that first attack no word on what the target of that attack was or how severe it might be. >> okay, so potentially two attacks today and one a week ago which was pretty similar as well wasn't it? >> that's right. the one a week ago was on airport road and the target was a nato convow and very heavily armed vehicles and one afghan civilian was killed in that attack on a very very busy road at one of the busiest times of day when people are leaving work and heading home the afternoon and early during this ramadan. >> reporter: okay, lost the link to kabul there unfortunately and we will move on to the next story which is greece, the talks taking place

in brussels which are being billed as the last chance to keep greece in the euro and banks are still closed and expected to remain so until at least thursday and increased pressure on them be demanding more collateral in exchange for maintaining its emergency support and means the banks could be out of cash by wednesday night which is a little more than a day away. we've got the new minister who will meet his euro zone counterparts in brussels in the area and preparing the ground for a leader summit later on tuesday afternoon. france and germany called on greece to come up with serious and credible proposals consistent with its wish to stay in the euro zone and the greek prime minister will address that summit in his last-ditch attempt to secure a rescue from european leaders and keep the leaders in single currency and leaders say they are still prepared to talk after he walked out of talks on june 26 when euro member he called the referendum. the european commission

president meanwhile said an agreement can still be reached but also that there is a lot of work to do. >> translator: we have to put our little egos and in my case very large ego away and we have to deal with the situation we face. i continue to believe, and i shall always believe, that a gretske should be avoided, i'm against it. >> reporter: live to john in athens for us john i want to talk short term first of all and we talk about the banks the liquidity there what is the latest on that if and when they reopen? >> reporter: well, you are quite right to point out that the banks are the achille's heel in this entire process and they could take the control of the speed of this process out of the hands of the institutions negotiating in brussels if they should fail sooner than

expected. the european central bank is monitoring the liquidity of the banking system very closely but it's well aware that banks right now are living hand to mouth. the reports we are hearing from people working in the banking system is they are literally the money they are taking in each day from payroll or from other lump payments between businesses are as going into atms to be dispersed the next day and that is how they are proceeding from one day to the next. they believe they have cash to keep going until wednesday, possibly thursday. but only under the capital control's regime and it's unclear what would happen beyond that point if there weren't a resolution in brussels and the european central bank decided not to release further liquidity assistance and opening on a normal basis would then be impossible for them. but what the situation would be what sort of regime they would go to is very difficult to predict right now. i think they would have to have some sort of very limited

operation that would enable businesses to trade because that's the part of the economy that is really suffering from the cash flow crunch. >> talking long-term as well john because as i outlined before i came to you the talks and emergency summits and these sorts of things let's look at it from greek perspective what do they have to take to europe? >> reporter: well, i think that given the shortness of time in order to arrive to an agreement that serves at least as an interim agreement, one that releases some bailout funds to the greeks between 7-15 billion euros to see them to the end of the year do not forget they have to pay two bonds this and next and both worth 6 1/2 billion euros and agreement of that limited nature would at least relieve right now the pressure on all sides regarding the possibility of a greek exit from the euro zone. once that was kicked several

months down the road on the basis of reasonable proposals from both sides i think they would then have to be a fuller meeting later on in the year for the so called third greek bailout because as the international monetary fund has pointed out greece is going to now need at least 50 billion euros in additional funding over the next two years. now, to get to that point, to get to this interim agreement this week you've got to have an agreement of attitude on both sides. and just how far apart the greeks and the creditors may be is indicated by two front pages in today's greek press. this is an austerity friendly newspaper showing party leaders meeting yesterday to hammer out a position, the title is this is a summit that may decide this and that is how grave things look to the campaign that voted yes to austerity measures last sunday this is the official mouthpiece of the left wing party and says the ball is now in the creditor's court

considering greece has nothing more to say than the big no to further austerity and very far from the truth and they need to sit down and talk about things that will be painful and i think most people are aware of that kamal and most people said to me we have difficulties ahead whichever way we vote. >> thank you, john, for the update on the greek situation from athens. taking you back to the top story and exclusive report from rebel-held territory in south sudan four years after the country was formed and still in the grips of a civil war and we are joined now by benjamin he is the foreign minister of south sudan live from duba and thank you for joining us and clear up one thing to start with and rebels say they control and your government has claimed in the past that you control it. what is the situation right now on this tuesday? >> the situation is that the

government is in absolute control of the town of malakal and government troops since monday morning moved in and there was no resistance on the side of the rebels. they had left the town and the town is fully in control and the government full control. >> okay if that is the case you have to admit. >> the rebels who have been violating. >> sorry, i think we have a satellite delay here so bear with me if that is the case that the government holds it, you clearly have to admit they have a lot of they managed to keep going, this war is still on going going. going. >> we have got ten states in the republic of south sudan. seven states are under complete quiet in the towns, in the states of upper nile and the government controls all the major towns and major areas.

the rebels only are in a few counties, none more than three or four counties out of the three or four states so the country is completely under the government control, the system is running, and anxiety of the structures and everything are running in south sudan today so i can tell you, yes, the government is in control, controlling the insurgency is what is going on. it's true that in those areas where rebels have violated the suscesion and that is how civilians get caught in the cross fire because of the rebels attack in those places. >> what sort of control do you have when 1.6 million of your people are internally displaced and thousands have been killed over the last four years? that's not control. that is chaos. >> no absolutely it is not true.

what is happening, south sudan is is a population of nearly 12 million people and it's a country bigger than the whole of france so when we say the government is control it doesn't mean a few areas where there is some insurgency, some civilians will have to be displaced. even those who are displaced the government is allowing humanitarian assistance to go back to them. so really to think that the country is in turmoil is not true. where you see me now is completely calm and that is how it is in most of the country. there are not many countries in the world that have insurgencies and doesn't mean the whole country is in turmoil and i think that is the resort because the peace process is going forward in order to resolve this except for the position of the rebel leader. >> how is the peace process moving forward if there is fighting and getting to areas which control oil which we know is important to south sudan, how

can you say the peace process is moving forward, you should have come to some sort of agreement by now? >> well that's why, yeah that is why the government signed the cessation to give them a chance. on the side of the government, the government troops are under orders in order to obey the peace or cessation of hostilities except self-defense and government forces are responding to attack by rebel side but i can assure you peace process is going forward and we have the agreement on the reunification of the party and splm already, former detainees have already come back to duba that is the progress indeed. in fact, the dismissals of some of the members including the rebel leaders and it's the first by chair of the ruling party so the peace process is going

forward. as far as the process is going it's going to resume this month after the independent celebrations, the countries are calling the continuation of the peace process. and after all the government has made a lot of compromises. tremendous compromises. unilateral ceasefire. unilateral amnesty, revoking the missiles unfreezing the assets of those who are in rebellion and accepting rebels who are now coming back and being accepted back into their unit so the government has made compromises which are encouraging and which go to peace. we are allowing them to go even in areas where they think there are rebels. >> i will interrupt you there just because we may have problems with the satellite. thank you very much. the foreign minister of south sudan, thank you. coming up, on this news hour thank you, more. >> i.s.i.l.'s resent losses in syria and iraq prove they will be defeated.

>> reporter: head to head with the u.s. led coalition ramps up its military mission, deadline for talks on the nuclear program and live in vienna for the latest and sport and the victory is just getting started with the world cup winning futballer. ♪ dozens of iraqi soldiers are reported to have been killed and several suicide attacks by aisle fighters and we go to the iraqi capitol baghdad for the latest on that jane. >> kamal there is intensified fighting around a lot of places that have been contested and the area around one of the biggest refineryies north of baghdad and western anbar and the figures are not entirely clear to casualties or how many casualties there were on the other side but really the main thing is these have been very

fierce attacks by i.s.i.l. involving in most cases multiple vehicle suicide bombs. in haditha one of the few areas that is still held by tribal forces along with iraqi security forces 80% held by i.s.i.l. there were multiple vehicle suicide bombs around into both the area of the down and near the city of haditha and some had explosives packed into bulldozers and u.s. president obama said i.s.i.l. is proving to be extremely nimble and played out on the battlefield. >> we will talk more about president obama in a moment on the news hour. i want to ask you though about sort of on the ground situation versus what is happening in the sky, the air strikes are coming from the u.s. led coalition but we have peshmerga on the ground who are very important to this as well. >> yes they are very important in the north and in the territories in between the

kurdish region and central iraq. they are not sorry they are not present in the rest of iraq where some of the fiercest fighting is. now the kurdish forces proves to be very effective backed by u.s. air strikes. it's a different ball game in anbar with iraq airforce and mobilization forces and many of them shia malitia fighters and that is an area that the u.s. really is not venturing into in terms of urban areas where there is fighting going on. we are seeing increasing civilian casualties and we are seeing iraqi attempts to be able to launch more air strikes and announced they are taking delivery of new russian fighter jets as well as delivery of the american ethic scenes which they will keep in jordan to fight from there kamal. >> thanks for that and live and

talked about the u.s. president barack obama and he says he is determined to beat i.s.i.l. and intensifying campaign against the group with some of the heaviest bombing since it began air strikes last september, at least 19 air strikes were carried out in iraq and syria on sunday. the kurdish peshmerga forces which we were talking about there with jane they are helping on the ground and say they fought off an i.s.i.l. attack near the city of kirkook and they are taking out leaders and infrastructure and the middle east are united in the fight. >> i.s.i.l.'s strategic weaknesses are real. i.s.i.l. is surrounded by countries and communities committed to its destruction. it has no airforce. our coalition owns the skies. i.s.i.l. is backed by no nation and it relies on fear sometimes executeing its own fighters. unrestrained brutality creates new enemies, in short i.s.i.l.

resent losses in iraq and syria proves that i.s.i.l. can and will be defeated. >> reporter: u.s. carter will face a committee on tuesday to defend the coalition campaign and the price tag, $2.9 billion and says the air strikes are working with the iraq kurdish forces on the ground and wants peshmerga who fought up attacks near kirkook on monday and killed at least 40 i.s.i.l. fighters. meanwhile on the ground in syria a rebel offensive underway in aleppo and rebels including al-qaeda al-nusra is trying to get country from the government and it has been transformed into the biggest battleground in syria's war and we have a senior fellow at the institute at the american university in beirut and nice to talk to you again. i mean what president obama has come out and said is nothing

knew we will beat i.s.i.l. and it's defeatable but the other interesting thing is he started to invoke president assad and bring him in the picture saying don't forget this is the bad guy or number one bad guy and what did you make of that sort of strategy there? >> reporter: well i think the united states government has really been hammered over the last three four months by everyone in the world, the middle east and u.s. and europe telling the u.s. if it is involved militarily and telling anybody who is trying to defeat i.s.i.s. they can't just defeat it militarily in iraq they have to address the problem in syria which is the base of it all. that you have to deal with the syrian situation. whether that means keeping assad, getting rid of assad but something has to happen in syria to deprive i.s.i.s. of its base there in raqqa and the area and i think the united states

probably got the message and we are seeing the first signs of this in the president's statement. >> yet i'm looking back over that sound clip of president obama we just played a moment ago and i will quote it and talks about i.s.i.l. and said it has no airforce, our coalition owns the skies, it's backed by a nation and in that sense he is trying to turn it into a military situation which the united states and its allies can win and yet short story is they are not. >> well this is the fundamental problem that the united states has had in afghanistan and iraq and it had it in vietnam many many years ago of having massive military superiority in numbers and technology and everything and not being able to translate that into an actual victory because this is a battle as obama noted this sabbatical that has a military component and political and social economic component. the problem with the u.s. is it

keeps emphasizing the military aspect without doing anything of parallel magnitude at the much tougher political level and that means addressing the fact that the real driver of i.s.i.s. and al-qaeda before it and remembering that both i.s.i.s. and al-qaeda today are probably the two fastest growing brand names in political military or other parts of the world and keeps growing and growing and u.s. owns the skies and maybe the u.s. is fighting in the wrong place, the fight is not on the sky but it's in poor neighborhoods and slums and police stations in arab countries so the real problem is taking away the terrible conditions all over the arab world and most countries of poverty and corruption and abuse of power, sectarianism and that brings the recruits up to join

these institutions. dealing with that means serious political and economic reform. the u.s. has shown zero or even minus inclination to do that. this reporting autocratic governments in bahrain and other places and that is the contradiction that nagged the americans since 9/11. >> joining us from beirut and thank you for your thoughts today. let's check the weather with everton, flooding in china i believe. >> that is right, it's a case of two typhoons and tropical storms and sounds like a movie i know but take a look at this on the satellite and you can see this massive cloud swirling away and this is pulling away and brought some flooding through the course of the weekend and it's weakening and will not become all typhoon again going to the southeast corner of china and looks to make landfall between hong kong and taiwan over the next couple of days.

on the strong side the winds but more about the rain 200-300 millimeters of rain over the next couple of days as the system pushes to taiwan and china where it has already been flooding over the past couple of months really, that is going to exacerbate those problems and said it's a case of two typhoons and tropical storm and here we go with typhoons and the open waters of pacific there and run its way up to shanghai as we go on through the next couple of days and into the weekend and wanting to make its way in and another system kamal in the open waters for the early part of next week. >> thank you for that everton and we will go back to the debt crisis in greece the last-ditch attempts to reach a deal with the european creditors, we have a professor at the business school in athens now to talk about this but the point i keep hammering home with and correspondence is and it's obvious the banks are closed and only withdraw 60 euros at a time

and no country can carry on for that much longer. >> reporter: absolutely, yes, this is very hard. i think people can barely cope with the way things go. you have to cue for hours to get just 60 euros per day and pensions are suffering particularly those who did not have a cash card and have to go to the bank whenever the bank is open just for them. so really things are very disruptive here and not to forget it takes just a few days for a modern economy to collapse. and so it's not too long before supermarkets even experience food shortages. it's all a matter of time. >> sorry to interrupt but the ecb and the european creditors know this and yet they will carry on with the bank of what you need to make concessions before we do this and sorts of things and understand where they are coming from and are owed money and not giving money away but it could be so much worse

around the corner if they don't do something. >> well, yes, but you see for them, for the creditors as they said today the ball is in the greek court and it's the greek side for them that are serious proposals for an agreement to be possible so this very unfortunate, very adverse situation could be seen as a leverage on the part of the creditors to put pressure on the greek side to come up with credible and serious proposals. if there is not agreement or the beginning of an agreement to be precise today things are going to deteriorate rapidly and not talking about an agreement but will be talking about humanitarian assistance. >> i want to ask you what is the best case scenario for the greek people but i'm starting to think it might be a case of what is the least worst scenario for them, what do you think that is. so what do you think it is?

>> the least worst scenario is for some agreement to take place. it means austerity will continue. things have deteriorated so economy will be plunged in recession and a few months ago it was forecast that a small growth would take place. so this is the least worst scenario, some kind of agreement. greece ecb lifts its cup on ela on emergency liquidity assistance so banks get some money but even the best agreement is not going to discontinue with austerity. now i think the situation is such that this is the only possible forward solution for greece at this very point, at this very moment with the least possible thing. the pain will still be great. >> very interesting talking to you. thank you for your time today. ahead on this news hour we will visit cuba's crumbling coastline

for more to be done on climate change and in sport cricket is getting ready for the newest episode and we are here to tell you about the ashes. ♪

♪ you're on the news hour here on al jazeera and these are the top stories, rebels in south sudan captured a major oil center in the northern part of the country through main town which has been retaken by the army but much of the nile remains in rebel hands. afghan is responsible for a car

bomb attack on a nato convoy in kabul and none of the soldiers were killed but three afghan civilians were killed. banks closed in brussels as a last-ditch attempt to keep them in the euro zone and will meet in an hour for an emergency summit later in the day. news out of nigeria, reports of an explosion in the nigerian city of zadari in the state and we are on the line with the latest on that. yvonne tell us more. >> reporter: kamal what we are hearing at the scene is this latest attack was launched by a suicide bomber who apparently, this is what we are hearing, targeted an ongoing exercise of collecting environmental data from civil servants into duma state. what we are told is that the attack was launched at least what has been reported now 20

people have been killed and quite a number of people injured. the details are thin. at the moment we are trying to make contact with the national emergency management authority, that is the government agency charged with dealing with situations like this to establish exactly what happened and comes as last night there were also reports of another suicide attack in which people were killed and injured up in the northeast and of course this comes following days of violence that we have seen since about wednesday which more than 200 people have been killed in attacks by suspected boko haram. >> thank you for the update. our top story this news hour has been about south sudan, four years after the country was created its case of civil war which is still going on, the number of displaced people and the rebel gains which have been

made in oil-rich parts of the country and we will analyze this with mike lewis, lead investigator with research joining us from london and i don't know if you heard the interview i did a little earlier in the show with the foreign minister of south sudan but he was basically telling me we are in complete control of seven of the states and basically everything is fine and peace talks are ongoing and they are going great. what is your assessment of it? >> well the main thing to say is that as your reporter said almost all of the main locations in the oil-filled states have changed hands eight or nine times since the start of the conflict in 2013. and it's clear the government has taken parts of the country and over the weekend we heard credible records they seized new areas in the oil fields so these kinds of local gains are not

being made the whole time and conceals the fact that essentially the situation is deadlocked on the ground and tells nothing about who is winning and who is losing. >> why do you think the government cannot get control over the situation? i mean i know it's a huge country and pockets of resistance everywhere but it doesn't seem to four years later to be able to make any real in-roads. >> well, the government taught this lesson to the sudan government when they were fighting them in the last war in south sudan and it's difficult for them to hold areas outside of the town in sudan because the roads are terrible and the rains are starting and it's very difficult to launch rebel groups and despite what your correspondent is told a team for our organization were on the ground in november of last year where your correspondent was and found clear evidence that rebels

just outside the town had been air dropped brand new sudan ammunition just a couple of months previously and of course on the government side. >> finish your thought. >> on the government side they are very open about proceeding with military support and weapons from uganda and china and israel. so with weapons pouring into the conflict on both sides it is only contributing to deadlock on the ground. >> the longer this goes on and dealt with this economically a week or so ago with the cost on al jazeera the fact is until there can be some sort of peace and control south sudan will never realize potential with all the oil and natural resources and can make it happen but unemployment is up all of these things and none of that will be dealt with untill there is some calm. >> i think that is absolutely true and you cannot see a clear development in the future and do not need someone in london to tell you that, people in south

sudan are aware of that. beyond economic developments of the country at a basic level with humanitarian situation on the ground the conflict is now beyond crisis. to give you just a very brief idea when i was last year in southern state at a rebel held area, small town there people have been spending weeks in wastewater to hide and children were at risk of dying from starvation and you have a situation where both sides are buying weapons and unable to feed their populations and that tells you there cannot be a military solution to this conflict. there has to be a political settlement when talks resume. >> interesting talking to you and thank you for your time today. al-shabab claimed responsibility for attack in northern kenya that killed at least 14 people gunmen opened fire on workers who were rested in the town and a attack that happened near military base and saudi arabia arrested three brothers of

charges of being links to the bombing of a shia mosque last month and dozens were killed in kuwait anicka -- and kuwait city and there is a fourth brother as well in i.s.i.l. in syria apparently. fighting between houthi rebels and popular resistance forces in the southern city of aiden. [gunfire] 19 houthi fighters and 5 local resistance fighters have been killed. clashes since sunday to recapture an area in the city which filtered the houthis earlier. doctors in aiden say at least 260 people have died of moss to born infections in week like may malaria and elsewhere in other southern districts the rebels

are stopping food and medicine being delivered to the city and hospitals are running out of medicine and fuel is also in short supply. it is deadline day in vienna foreign ministers of six world powers meeting with i ran counterparts for a last-minute breakthrough on tehran's nuclear program and ballistic missile program and arms embargo are sticking points and wants international sanctions to be lifted which slashed the oil exports and james base has been covering this since it started and extensions and deadlines that have come through what is your feeling from the world around there about the possibility of a deal actually happening today? >> i fear, kamal, we might get another brief extension. this is the deadline day but remember one week ago was the deadline day. this is the extended deadline and as ever when you near these deadlines things get very tense,

there is a little bit of drama and that is going on right now. there were two full meetings that took place between the p 5 plus 1 and iran and one of the meetings went on until the early hours of the morning. the first meeting i'm told the atmosphere was good. the second meeting perhaps not so good. and it's interesting since this morning here in vienna there has not been a meeting of all of the participants, all of these countries negotiating with iran the p 5 plus 1 and iran. i spoke a short time ago to one iran diplomate and said no meeting is scheduled with everyone and what is happening and started about 30 minutes ago is a meeting of those that are negotiating with iran the p 5 plus 1 around the table and suspect they are talking about stumbling blocks and negotiation strategy and deadline because they can't just let this deadline sit and pass the deadline without doing something because the interim deal that is in place has to be extended

otherwise it collapses. so at some point i think in the coming hours they are going to have to make an announcement and say we are extending the interim deal and that effectively creates a new deadline. >> james hang in there and we will talk to you later on james base is in vienna at talks. china says the philippinings is violating over the promises over the south china sea and took it to a hearing in the hague and five judges will make the decision if the tribunal has jurisdiction in the matter and china doesn't want to participate. the white dotted lines go in and lots of small islands but include these and they are also claimed by the philippines and then you have taiwan vietnam and malaysia which claimed territory there as well and reiterated the arbitration case brought by philippines and says

the philippines has broken its promises. >> translator: china has said many times it would not accept and would not engage into the arbitration case that was unilaterally brought by the philippines who violate the consensus that have been repeatedly reached with china and violates the promise made in the declaration on the code of conduct on the south china sea. people in manila protesting in support of the philippines case against china at the hague and two dozen marched to condemn activities in the south china sea. head of roman catholic church pope francis will celebrate and ecuador is the first stop on a latin america tour and first pope to come from the continent on and monday tens of thousands gathered for mass in the port and next for the pontiff is paraguy and bolivia.
