1:05 am
tightened since the war. the estimates is to rebuild gaza even in five years would take 445 trucks going in everyday loaded with construction material. the israelis are letting in on average 33 trucks a day. of the 12,500 homes that were completely steroid aside from the 5,000 that were terribly damaged not one has been rebuilt. the equipment doesn't come in, the materials don't come in. the siege is so tight the people are simply unable to rebuild. the report from the human rights council there had been violations on both sides but there was no question in the report that the vast majority and the most serious violations were committed by the israeli forces. the disparity of power on both sides made that inevitable. however it was clear that the report was a very balanced report did report potential
1:06 am
violations on the palestinian side and the solution of course is to bring those cases directly to the international criminal court. of which palestine is now a full member. israel of course has refused to join the court and has said it would not take serials any reportseriously fromthe united nations. >> on to other stories now. european union has given greece until sunday. european unioneuropean central bank says it will give greece until sunday to come up with a solution. jacky rowland has the story. >> european leaders gave their verdict. greece had not told them what they wanted to hear. >> translator: we had a long and intensive discussion and in summary can i tell that you after the deliberations we had tonight, the preconditions of

1:08 am
union will attend that meeting on sunday. the leaders say their priority is to protect around strengthen the euro. none say in public that they want greece to leave but if it happens they say they're ready. >> we have a derek disit grexit scenario prepared in detail. that's the scenario i most prefer. a scenario how to deal with the problem now keeping greece as a member of the euro area. i'm strongly against grexit but i can't prevent it if the greek government is not doing what we are expecting the greek government to do. >> reporter: a grave situation but the greek prime minister emerged smiling. >> translator: the grexit will continue the effort, the vast majority want an agreement which will give us the prospect of finally exiting the crisis.
1:09 am
>> reporter: he may have won the referendum at home but he faces a much bigger battle to convince his european colleagues. will greece be in or out? the clock is ticking. jacky rowland, al jazeera brussels. >> jacob kirkegard even if greece secures a new loan from the eu the conditions would be strict. >> formal esm program a program as comprehensive as the regular imf type program which will mine that the conditionality that greece will be asked to sign up for, will be arguably more rigorous than the conditionality that the greek voters rejected at the referendum last week. so this idea that alexis tsipras should have a stronger mandate to negotiate with the european
1:10 am
partners after the referendum, is basically a memo that the rest of the euro zone has not gotten. because this is not going to be an easy program by any strej of thestretchof the imagination. and if there is no deal, come monday the other 18 members of the euro zone, or all the other 27 members of the eu have decided to cut potentially greece loose. so you could find yourself with a situation of a directly imploding economy in greece already next week as well as a process a longer term process leading for country's departure from both the euro zone and the eu as a whole. >> reporter: now nearly 1300 listed countries in china have started trading their shares on the country's main exchange.

1:19 am
present there. pakistan also tanked then government from setting across the negotiating table. very criecial very important given the fact that all statements oeven try the get those talked your honor way have failed. there is some cause for optimism. after ram damn, there will be another round of meetings. >> kamal what is the afghan taliban's main demand here? >> reporter: well, that's a very interesting and important question because as you already know there's a big campaign going on in afghanistan or rather a resurgence of the afghan tability taliban the afghan taliban is not putting down their weapons, there is no talk of a ceasefire yet.

negligible gains. lessons had not been learned victims had been forgotten. israeli says it had two main goals for what i.t. called operation protective edge. first was to stop the rockets which were being fired into israel by armed groups in gaza. second was to destroyed gaza's network of tunnels. a retired israeli colonel believes the aims were largely achieved but at the expense of damaging headlines and international criticism. >> it did cause damage. we don't like the image of israel as trying to kill civilians, innocent be civilians. many civilians were killed without any doubt. tens of thousands of civilians in the gaza lost their homes had to find some solution during the cold winter and until now only afew houses were rebuilt. it is a major problem.
1:23 am
