of undermining the peace process in a conflict against thousands. commanders were spoken to near the border with yooeth are. why generals and influential individuals have been accused of being hardliners and hampering negotiations brokered by the intergovernmental authority on development, eager yet to achieve peace. >> we are the first - who is he.

he's - he kill people he ran away. you don't consider yourself hardliners, or spoilers of the peace process as a general on the ground. >> yes, i don't know the reason why i was in juba me myself. >> they say they want piece. fighting is still going on despite a ceasefire. according to the u.n. many have been killed homes banned women raped and tens of thousands displaced in unity state. rebels are on the offensive where the only functioning oil fields are, both blame each other for starting the fight. >> translation: we are not a rejection peace. the only thing that stop the war is removal from the helm.

>> reporter: the commanders insist there was no coup attempt in 2013 as claimed by the government. what followed after was an attempt to cleanse the tribe, the second largest in the country. >> peace talks i expected to resume. there'll be a proposal by them on the formation of a transitional government. the commanders say they will not accept anything less than separate armed forces for three years. >> the general says that 18 months is not enough to heal wounds and build trust. >> for the two to be in trend and organise to come together, a national army of south sudan, that will will not be enough. and it will force people to fight again. >> these men are important advisors to the leaders. they say they'll follow his lead but will not accept a deal that does not address the root cause

of the conflict it's one year since israel began its bombardment of gaza a war that went on for 50 days. despite rebuilding the strip, an estimated 100,000 people remained internally displaced. more than 2,000 palestinians were killed during seven weeks of bombardment, and 10,000 wounded. the u.n. says 75% of victims were civilians. among the victims, 66 soldiers and five civilians were killed. 89,000 in homes were damaged, and it will cost nearly 8 million to rebuild. people that lost their homes are living among the ruins, or what is left in temporary shelters. imtiaz tyab spoke to a homeless man that can barely make ends meet. >> this man has not climbed these steps in nearly a year.

they used to lead into what was a large home he shared with his extended family. now all that is left is rubble after israeli tank shelled it. they lost more than his house during the 50 day war, and they lost most of his family. the photos are all they have left of his wife sons daughter and grandson who were killed in a strike. for the past year he and the surviving members have barely been able to make ends meet. and that hamas which controlled gaza and fatah, a party of hamas. international donors pledged billions of dollars to rebuild

gaza but israel's siege meant badly needed instruction materials like cement have not been allowed in. israel's continuing blockade of gaza means just 1% of reconstruction material needed for gaza has been delivered. according to the united nations, the influx of goods is so slow that is could take up to 30 years to rebuild. which is why around 20,000 palestinians live in temporary shelters like these. most don't have electricity and running water. families have to share one room. as living conditions worsen many are angry. senior hamas spokesman says he understands the frustration. >> people are suffering. we have to do everything to help people. we have to do everything for example, to open the crossings. to give chance for instruction.

this is now the mission of hamas, and fatah, to work together and put the differences behind their back. >> reporter: that is small comfort to this man, who at 80 years old is the guardian of four of his grandsons after their parents were killed. he finds it difficult to worry for their futures when their lives now are hard. we cross imtiaz tyab who is in gaza a neighbourhood destroyed in the war. we see behind you the remnants of some buildings. are you seeing any rebuilding happening in that area. >> no rebuild at all. a year after the war, this is a neighbourhood in ruins, in fact during the war why israel that

7-week bombardment by israeli forces, that neighbourhood, one night alone over 100 people were killed and the destruction is clear. destruction is clear to see. here we are, a year since the start of war, and the situation here has not changed, and to some of the people that we have been speaking to it's as if the war ended yesterday. that's how acute the situation is. let me now introduce us to this man who is with the euro led monitor of human rights. we are in gaza a year after the start of that war. what is the situation here too. >> we are not talking about a 50 year war, we are talking about one a destroyed the infrastructure of gaza, we are talking about humanitarian

situation and crisis. we revealed that 80% of the population. gaza strip is dependent on international aid because that is - that reveals how much the crisis has reached unprecedented levels. theboarders were closed. the rafa border mentioned it like it was closed 70% of the time since the imposition of the blockade in 2007. like - yes. >> let me ask you though about the situation in gaza. it's very acute, as you painted there. but also what does gaza need to move forward? >> well basically we are

talking about an occupying power. israel remains on occupying power. despite it's disengagement from gaza in 2005. we know israel controls every aspect of the palestinians life. such control entails the responsibility to safeguard the welfare of the population and the best means to apply that is to reopen the gaza port. such initiative will allow upimpeded flow of humanitarian aid of travelling of people, because you know people are not allowed to go through areas, whether there's a border so i guess the international community has to pressure israel to apply international law, and adhere. and accept the idea of gaza for it. it was a right of the civilian population of gaza. which had been living under

siege for 10 years. >> thank you very much. that is maha who is with euro mediterranean monitor for human rights talking about the situation in gaza. one year after the start of that 70 - that 50 week bombardment in which over 200,000 palestinians were killed. >> imtiaz tyab reporting for us from one of the worst hit neighbourhoods. just a remainder. we'll mark the one year anniversary of the gaza war all day on al jazeera. citiway us. -- stay was. let's change tact and take a check. weather. tropical storms and flooding in eastern china. >> that's right. looking nasty at the moment. we have two typhoons and a tropical storm. not far away in the open waters of the pacific. take a look at the satellite.

here is the two typhoons, and will have the impact on eastern china as we go on through the next couple of days. this one here that's another - that will run of towards southern japan. we are not too concerned about that. we need to keep a close eye on it see how the storms are swirling away. making their way westward. we'll see this one making its way up towards shanghai by around about saturday going into sunday. expected to make landfall. this is a region containing around 24 million people, a lot of heavy rain coming in this will be of great significance over the next few days of immediate concern is tropical storm limpha masked across to the south of the taiwan strait. we have people preparing themselves for the arrival of the storm, ships anchored and made safe here so that when the

system makes its way in over the next 24-36 hours or so you can see how it runs into hong kong and we are looking at well around 200 to 300 meters of rain. everton, thank you. stay with us here on the newshour, still to come. the pope gets political in ecuador as thousands of pilgrims brave the cold and rain to see him. ♪ we are the champions ♪ we see how the u.s. women's soccer celebrated the third world cup win. all the details in

>> let's take a look at how the war in gaza began. israel's military searched gaza for the kidnappers. tensions rose. there was an increase in the rackets fired from gaza. troops crossed into gaza to destroy tunnels, to destroy weaponry and inspect fighters. in august israeli troops withdrew from gaza and an open-ended ceasefire as announced. the israeli government is adamant the war was justified. paul brennan reports from jerz rur. >> reporter: the war was costly in terms of life and impact. more than 730,000 died more

than 30 residents killed. the damage in gaza is estimated at $8 million. it cost $2.5 billion. a year on and the israeli government insists that the war was justified and successful. >> translation: hamas suffered the hardest blow since the day it was established, we follow events in the south of israel and prepare to respond with full force. others though are not convinced but all of the ambitions for the war were achieved. >> in a scathing editorial comment, the left-leaning newspaper described gaza as the forgotten war, and assessed negligible gains. sporadic fire resumed from the gaza strip as had air strikes, lessons had not been learnt. victims had been forgotten. >> israel said it had two main

goals from operation protective edge. first was to stop the rockets fired into israel by armed groups in gaza. the second was to destroy gaza's network of tunnels. this doctor is a retired israeli colonel, now a military analyst, and believes the aims were largely achieved at the expense of damaging headlines and international criticism. >> we don't like the image. it's trying to keep civilians, innocent civilians, tens of thousands of civilians have lost their homes, they had to find a solution. until now, only a few will be rebuilt. it is a major problem. we don't want it. we had no other choice. >> there are signs of optimism using outside intermediaries

israelis and hamas negotiating for a ceasefire. there is distrust on both sides. 12 months after the israeli forces withdrew it too soon for an objective assessment of the impact of the car. >> in egypt five civilians including a child, have been killed by a mortar round. it hit a village in north sinai, it's not clear who fired the mortar, and it wounded four others. the military fought a number of groups in the area including sinai government fighters pledging allegiance to i.s.i.l. syrian forces have been accused of dropping barrel bombs killing five people. while in other parts of the city opposition activists said the government used chlorine gas to stop a rebel offensive, and say that the targeted attack targeted a military research

center taken over last week. in deraa activists claim a barrel bomb attack killed 10 civilians, women and children are among the dead. >> talks over iran's nuclear programme will continue in vienna. negotiators from six world powers in iran missed a self imposed deadline. a dispute over iran's ballistic missile programme is one the main issues hampering the talks. in japan, there are programs in the u.s. military sector. workers are loading uranium fuel rods into the reactor after which regulators make checks before bringing it back online. public utilities incur billions. now australia has combined

immigration department with customs to form a border protection force. they will focus on stopping un wanted asylum seekers coming into the country, especially by boat. despite the tough stance it needs more legal migrants to help. from the town of griffith in new south wales, andrew thomas explains. >> reporter: griffith, a rural town, an 8-hour drive from sydney may not sound like a multicultural place, in fact, 28% were born outside australia. the same proportion for australia as a whole. they are easy to find. working in a garage, on the outskirts of town, this man is one of three filipinos. >> for now, i like griffith and my job here. and for the cost being cheaper than the city. >> the company couldn't find people with his skills in australia.

his boss is from the philippines. visa rules required him to work in rural australia for two years. before he could move to a big city. regional area in australia is in the philippines, where you have nothing. but here you have everything you need, like the garage, the local hospital relies on immigrants to staff it. one of its 16 doctors is australian born. >> at present. i think most of the regional towns, country up to s are manned. most of them. immigration at 1.1%, australia population every year. more than the birth rate or rising life expectancy. only switzerland and norway take more immigrants. when immigration to australia is generally in the news, the story is about those the country stops from coming in.

asylum seekers. immigration here is pretty high. a government report suggests that australia population would double to 40 million in 40 years. many argue that it's too low for a country of australia's size. this man runs a food production business near griffith, and he went to turkey to find a beekeeper for the business to india. forfruit growing managers. foreigners do most of the fruit picking, but singh needs more. >> i like good workers. anybody good worker, any state, any country. i like to do my work. >> with one of the world's highest immigration rates, australia is one of the least densely populated countries. for that to change, immigration would need to get a lot higher. thousands of survivors of nepal's quake in april are facing a potential disaster.

that the budget needed will be handed over. and it is still not clear whether these people will be able to return home, or whether they ever will. still to come here on the programme - a tough task ahead for world number one serena williams has she protections to the semifinals at wimbledon. sport and more to come.

various forms of war and conflict reappear. we christians insist on the proposal to recognise the other, to heal injuries, construct bridges and strengthen ties. pope francis also directed criticism at regional leaders, warning against personalized leadership. the thirst for power and the execution of those that think differently. ecuador's president has been the target of mass protest in recent months against plans for steep tax hikes. and koria's repeated attempts to show that he and the popes see eye to eye on wealth. >> it's a truce. i think that next wednesday, when he leaves, probably demonstrations will be again on the streets. >> which is why the pope spoke out over and over about unity

and the need for dialogue. in a latin america polarized along ideological lines. in ecuador, pope francis has been speaking for the first time in his own language, in his own continent. >> reporter: what is noteworthy is unlike millions that saw the pope in catholic youth week in brazil, a large percentage are those that the pope said are relegated to the periphery, the poor, indigenous and the old. the same people whom he says are the greatest victims of violence, intolerance, abuse and political economic power. time for sport with andy. >> thank you so much. the latest episode in cricket's oldest rivalry is getting underway, but, look, i - yes. - australia taking on india in the first test of the ashes, taking

cancelled fixtures teams producing teams on a saturday. for many you need that number for the future of the club. >> last year england and wales released the results of a survey showing the number of people playing the sport was on decline. 5% of matches had to be cancel. one of the teams couldn't field the players. the recurring theme is that traditional matches like this took too much time. >> the commitment is full day. we leave 9 o'clock in the morning, and get home 10, 11 every saturday. that may be part of the problem. performances by the team have done little to ignite interest in the game. england lost the last ashes 5-0 to australia and failed to reach the group stage in the cricket world cup. clubs like cue are addressing the problem by highlighting the
