9:00 am
>> welcome to the news hour. i'm russia care in doha. coming up, the family of an israel believed to be held captive in gaza asks for international help to free him. the number of syrian refugees now tops 4 million. >> in greece, the government extends capital controls. the latest from athens.
9:01 am
>> today's big sports stories the wimbledon tennis update. the man who helped expose fifa corruption is banned himself chuck placer. >> israel said two of its citizens are held by hamas in gaza. one of the missing men disappeared last year. the details are only coming out now because an israeli judge lifted a gag order. this is what we know. he is believed to have crossed the border fence into the gaza strip in september of last year. he is described as being of ethiopian descent. this is coming from the israeli minster of defense. accord dog israeli sources, he
9:02 am
is held against his will by hamas. hamas says it doesn't know anything about it. a second missing citizen is arab. that is all it is saying, because that case is still under a legal gag order. we are in gaza and will go there shortly. first to paul brennan where the family of the man lives. what is the latest we're hearing from his family? they had a press conference. >> well, yeah. i'm here basically five miles from the border with gaza in this city, this israeli city. the apartment block over my shoulder is the family home where the parents of the man live and the brothers, as well. here today after 10 months of keeping quiet on the advice of the israeli authorities. they finally broke -- the
9:03 am
gagging order had been lifted and they gave a news conference. they believed that by keeping quiet, it would improve the possibility of abraham being allowed to return to them. there is still uncertainty as to whether he is actually held captive or whether he's there of his own volition. this is what the brother had to say at a news conference just a couple of hours ago. >> my brother has been missing for the last 10 months. it looked like he crossed the border into gaza and disappeared. my brother is not well. on our family's behalf, i asked government of israeli to do its utmost to bring back my brother safe live. i ask the international community to put pressure to have him released. i call on hamas to consider my brother's condition and to release him immediately. >> what are the israelis saying about this? why is it that they think hamas
9:04 am
has these men and what else do we know? >> well, they don't trust hamas first off frank live. one report from the gaza strip is that people connected to hamas saying that he may have passed through the tunnels and gone his way into egypt but egypt -- sorry israel is rejecting that. what it creates frankly is a rather complex situation bolt for hamas and israel. we're in a period at the moment, a year on from the gaza war of 2014 where both hamas and israel through intermediaries are trying to negotiate a long term ceasefire. there is a very real prospect that the tension between two might go raised by this incident, this missing person, these two missing persons and that might jeopardize the talks indirect talks underway. the other thing is to draw a very clear distinction between the case, 2006 israel soldier
9:05 am
abducted and held five years in exchange for palestinian prisoners being freed and these two cases where very strong evidence appears that they went to gaza voluntarily. what exactly motivated them remains a mystery. you heard from the brother saying that he was not well. i think this makes a bit -- it's a very different kind of case. >> all right paul brennan live for us, thank you. let's go to gaza. what is hamas saying about these allegations? >> a very curious situation with few answers. we reached out to hamas spoke to its senior spokesman and his response to us about this news that came out when an israel court lifted a gag order reviewing that two israels are
9:06 am
held in gaza was no comment. nothing really being said by the palestinian leadership here in the gaza strip. of course, hamas is in control of gaza, but they are not saying anything about the news that at least one israeli is in their custody. >> could you put this in some sort of perspective obviously with the anniversary being yesterday? just put it in perspective for us? >> yeah. it is interesting that just a day ago we marked one year since the start of israel's 50 day bombardment of the gaza strip last year in which so many palestinians were killed and injured. now, as part of the commemoration of that day the palestinian leadership here, hamas, i should say unveiled a sculpture, if you will or a monument, if you will, in the center of gaza. this structure is a curious thing. it is a tank with a fist rising
9:07 am
out of it, a closed fist. inside of the fists are dog tags or military i.d. tags. there's three of them. one tag has the name of an israel soldier who is believed to have died during that war but his remains are believed to be filled with hamas. the other two tags have question marks on it, meaning that we don't know what those dog tags or who those people are. many here are believing that it could represent those two israelis who are now alerting are being held somewhere here in gaza. >> the u.n. envy to yemen said an agreement to a ceasefire is expected to be announced within 24 hours. the envoy has held talks with officials from the exiled government of president adou rabbo mansour hadi and yemen's houthi rebels.
9:08 am
he's trying to end more than three months of fighting that have killed more than 3,000 people. >> the number of syrian refugees that exceeded 4 million, according to the united nations the single largest refugee crisis in 25 years. most fled to neighboring countries, the biggest population is in turkey, more than 1.8 million accounting for 45% of the refugees. tiny lebanon is sharing this burden hosting nearly 1.2 million syrians. jordan has more than 600,000. many live below the poverty line. nearly a quarter million are in iraq. additional, more than 156,000 syrians in north africa, most of them in egypt. >> traveling to the refugee comp in jordan, it is home to 80,000 people. >> 4 million and counting, refugees in jordan's camp dins
9:09 am
think the conflict would last this long in syria or force this many people out of their country. one of the camps oldest residents says two and a half years later, he's finally adjusted to life as a refugee but had this reaction when we told him the number of refugees in the region had reached 4 million. >> this is a disaster. it means the entire population will eventually be displaced. this makes me feel our conflict will drag on to years and a return to syria soon is impossible. >> some of the oldest residents to newest arrivals. living in the camp before deciding to survive on his own he is in the jordanian border town. he returned to the camp two months ago. >> i left the camp because my children couldn't survive the scorching heat of summer in a tent. refugees have a pay for a lot of services outside the camp, so i
9:10 am
was forced to return. >> when asked what they want from the international community, many want an end to the carnage in syria. >> the united nations has called the syrian refugee crisis the worst humanitarian disaster in recent history. almost half of all the people in syria have been displaced including 4 million who have been forced to leave for neighboring countries like jordan. according to aid agencies, there is no sign of when these refugees will be able to return home. >> the u.n. says the international community has been generous, but the crisis is so big that donors are thinking about sustaining funding as the conflict continues. >> already this year, people have less access to services. there are already agencies cutting back on the systems. it's pushing them back to the camps, which are funded entirely by the international community for pushing them even to return to syria.
9:11 am
when you have families telling you i'm going back because i can't earn a living here and that they would prefer to live in a war zone, you know just how desperate they are. >> the u.n. refugee agency says 80% of syrian refugees are living below the poverty line. another 70% are sending their children out to beg and engaging in degrading or illegal work. this is a sign of how desperate people have become. al jazeera. >> turning now to syrian academic writer, we appreciate you coming in, war by nature is destructive, but you say this war's been exceptionally districtive. how so? >> because this war ceased to be a local civil conflict since the early days of the revolution and turned out to be international crise and turned out to be a war by proxy where international
9:12 am
actors have local troops on the ground in syria and syrians are having the least say in this conflict. as long as these international actors their interests are not realized, i think this war will even go for sometime. >> you are saying there are international players niche lating people there? >> absolutely. it's something between iran and -- in the region in which this is a war in which each -- invested heavily over the past few years. the stakes are too high for them. i think they are having this zero sum game in syria and they are actually -- syrians are paying the heaviest price, they are fighting with syrian blood. i think as long as there is no direct impact on this regional
9:13 am
act access, i think this will go on for sometime. >> who is truly invested in peace there? >> only syrians are trying to realize the peace that they lost over the past few years. syrians are the only party in this conflict that they are having real interest in ending this conflict and in having this prevail. other than the syrians, i don't see anybody else in the international arena. the americans and russians are under original context the turks and others. >> what are the realistic options for some sort of diplomatic solution ever? >> i have been hearing for the past few weeks actually especially since the regime lost sizeable part of the country over the past months earlier this year in the north and in the south and since isis actually has taken pal palmyra there has been movement between the russians and americans.
9:14 am
no success has been made. no progress has been made. penalty putin reaffirmed his original position on bashar al assad, which is a key issue in fact right now and the americans seeing that there's no future or bashar al assad in syria. we are still at that square and hoping that the russians and americans will come up with some sort of compromise in order to have a new fresh start. >> at this point what started all this that refugee situation. >> foreign ministers are locked in talks in austria trying to finalize a deal over iran's nuclear program trying to iron out remaining issues and secure an agreement by friday so that a
9:15 am
document can be presented to the u.s. congress. our diplomatic editor is in iran. an iranian official is saying it is unlikely a deal will be reached. what else do you know about that? >> there are numerous reports swirling here, journalists picking up on information, no one giving us a proper readout of where this is. i think the reality some, that some of the countries here, particularly the western members of the p5 plus one the six countries that are negotiating with iran would really like there to be a deal very, very soon in the coming hours and they certainly have been getting closer and edging towards a deal. the real push is on, i think particularly from the u.s., france and the u.k. and germany to try and get a deal in the coming hours.
9:16 am
the iranian position all along has been we want to good deal, we're prepared to stay for as long as we need to. we don't care about any sort of deadline. why do the u.s. in particular want to deal? it's because of congressional legislation, review of any deal. that included a strange cause which said that if there was a deal before the end of the ninth, that's today, then there would be a 30 day period of review by the u.s. congress. if it went beyond the ninth we're all interpreting this as being midnight washington d.c. time so 6:00 a.m. here in vienna, then there would be a 60 day review, double the length of review delaying, of course, the u.n. security council resolution that needs to be put in place to ratify all of this. that's certainly something the u.s. administration doesn't want. it certainly doesn't want congress looking at this for two
9:17 am
months rather than one month. that's why the pressure is on. will they get a deal before that deadline, dependency who you talk to. >> i know you'll be there for all of it. our diplomatic editor, thank you so much. >> still to come on al jazeera china's government imposes emergency measures to stop the share slump. >> one greek community has seen it's livelihood destroyed by years of austerity. >> wimbledon the latest from the all england club coming up in sport. >> more than 20 people have been killed in ethnic fighting in al jazeera. uruguayan penalty issued an emergency plan wednesday to crack down on the mounting violence around the southern oasis city. we have the latest.

9:19 am
the situation here is tense. >> there was a demand from the people to send the army a the political authorities and security forces failed to contain the problem. we hope the situation will improve. >> we can't talk about sectarian struggle. it is a political problem over two years ago we always try to find temporary solutions since we don't have a solution to the problem and understand the problem and its roots the tragedy will happen again. >> they also fault two years ago and vandals destroyed the shrine and did he say created this cemetery. this time, the level of violence is worse. many in the province accuse the government of negligence. it has high unemployment in the area and lock of social or economic opportunities. all that means abthere is competition over land, limited

9:21 am
bank and buying houses might not be a good idea, either, so i'll just leave it there. >> a stagnating housing market is a reason there's been a surge. savings rates are below inflation, which means the growing middle class has fewer options where they can grow their money. with the surging bull market, many jumped in, some say with government in tiesment. >> the boom market is encouraged by propaganda. we all want a boom market. in a boom market, everybody's happy. raising money through selling shares, people are making money through the market, the government can do a lot more with the boom market. all of this is actually sort of accelerated the market on the way up and on the way down, as well. >> unlike other developed stock markets around the world china's main pool of investors are not professionals.
9:22 am
>> 80% of those trading on a china's stock market are individual with little experience. those with the ones the government worries about saying their panic selling added to the market slide. >> over the last several days, china's government put mechanisms in place to stabilize the market. it plans to invest 30%. country's pension fund system in stocks. it appears to be reluctant to give up on its bull market just yet. >> market shares, market, now it's much more mature, stronger. market has its own power it's own logic. that's a lesson for the government to learn. >> he is not happy about losing money, but characterized the last few weeks as market growing pains. >> when i make money ok, i
9:23 am
don't give it to anybody else. i take all the glory and credit. it's only fair if i lose money or i cannot make as much, i shouldn't blame the government or the system. >> there's no way to know when the current market volatility will end. it's unclear how much more he and his 90 million fellow individual investors might stand to lose. al jazeera beijing. >> let's take you to greece now where a deadline is looming for the government and has until sunday to submit a detailed reform plan to e.u. ministers. it's part of a last ditch effort to secure a bailout. the countries on the edge of financial collapse. officials extended the collapse of the bank. >> the prolonged greece crisis extended to monday, the closure of banks and withdrawal limits of up to 60 euros each day are

9:25 am
front for all orders, so those drugs are now beginning to slow down. their supply is slowing down into the greek market, and we have heard from various people who have got relatives and friends in hospital, that some medicines really are becoming difficult to find and certainly we've heard that the hospital system, the national health system is no longer providing them for free. it's asking patients to go out and find them. that's definitely in contravention of national health coverage rules, but it is happening. finally, we're beginning to hear that the banking crisis is preventing socially sensitive institutions from accessing their money, one charity, a foster care home for 365 abandoned children, the smile of the child is telling us that they cannot make their july payroll. they will therefore not necessarily be able to care, as they would wish, for the children in their homes as of july, because they can no longer pay their 400 employees to staff

9:29 am
records abitaly being one of them. when these go across the states, we are used to getting a dramatic change in temperature on a front like that. the same sort of thing is happening in europe. we don't normally get the contrast in temperatures which cause such a front. those thunderstorms or just big showers, the temperature difference yesterday was roughly speaking 10 to 13 degrees. berlin was 23, bucharest 36. just to the north near venice, this was one big shower. in fact, this was a tornado. in italy you don't often get tornadoes. venice or anywhere else. this was quite a vicious one that lasted long after we filmed but was quite destructive. there are only a dozen recorded a year in italy, so this is a rare event. the system moves slowly southward and heat lost for most of europe. north of italy the colors show
