buried. i'm lee in the sports news including women semi final day at wimbledon where serena williams silenced sharapova in center court show down. ♪ the word from u.n. is a truce will come in yemen midnight on friday local yemen time for urgently needed aid to get to civilians and more than 80% of the countries 25 million people are in some form of emergency help and the ceasefire is thought should last to the end of ramadan and that is thought to be july the 17th. the u.n. yemen envoy says jake has been having talks from the official's government in exile

and houthi rebels and taking place in the capitol sanaa and it has been three months since the fighting began and at least 3,000 people are known to have died to the u.n. now and we are there in new york and this has been a round officially for what about an hour and a half two hours kristen. tell us what you know about what is going to happen. >> reporter: that's right, david, this is described as a humanitarian pause with a goal of working towards a more permanent and durable ceasefire and the terms of this agreement as far as we know are simply what you said, that it goes into effect just before midnight local time on friday and will last until the end of ramadan approximately seven days but the u.n. is saying that it has received assurances from the parties including the houthis that they will agree to this pause in order to help the people of yemen. now we know it's not exactly what the president of yemen was

looking for. he sent a letter to the secretary-general just wednesday, just yesterday asking that there be terms included in this ceasefire including an exchange of political prisoners, including the defense minister who is being held by the houthis and withdrawal of houthi forces from aiden and locations throughout yemen but the secretary-general responded in a letter that we have seen that said in order to preserve impartiality it's imperative and urgent this be an unconditional ceasefire that begins immediately and the secretary-general did say that he thought moving forward with the terms suggested by the president could be incorporated into discussions for a more permanent cessation of hostilities, have a listen to what the spokesperson for the secretary-general said when pressed about these terms of agreement. >> obviously there will need to be confidence building measures as the secretary-general said to

build towards a sustainable and long-term ceasefire. but what we are talking about here is an unconditional humanitarian pause and look forward to all the parties respecting that pause and i think as we have been saying here for weeks on end, the people of yemen deserve this. the humanitarian situation is getting worse by the day. >> any idea kristen how they will get the help that the people are so in desperate need of it? >> humanitarian agencies are already working to move in as soon as this pause goes into effect. they are talking about taking enough supplies to stockpile enough food to serve some 2.1 million yemen people for a month. so you can imagine just what kind of massive amounts of packages moved into yemen in

certain situations but as the u.n. has been saying the humanitarian situation is incredibly dire and 21 million in need of aid, 80% of the population near famine conditions and the health system is a wreck with basic diseases and medical issues going untreated so there is an army of humanitarian workers now poised to move in and address these issues. >> kristen thanks very much indeed and let's follow this up with the european council of foreign relations and he focuses on affairs in yemen, we are talking about less than a week here, aren't we if it goes to july the 17th, how much can we do with the use of that time? >> it will have a limited effect if we are only talking a week. when we look at yemen humanitarian crisis this is not just about things getting into the country on one time as we said. the goal is to get food in for 2.1 million people. we are dealing with a situation

in yemen now where 21 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance so even if this humanitarian pause goes perfectly that is only 10% effecting 10% of yemen people who really are in this dire need of aid. when we talk about ending the humanitarian crisis, it's difficult to imagine how this can happen without some sort of end to hostilities. >> it was as i was going to say it's not just about what happens up until july the 17th it's about extending this what are the chances of turning this into something longer in terms of the fighting? >> i think there are a lot of hopes from a lot of people that this will be extended. there is a lot of hopes from when i have spoken to western and american diplomates about this and a lot of hopes from people from yemen parties. in comparison to the last ceasefire the last ceasefire was effectively unilateral but the saudi-led coalition and this has been preceded by a lot of talks by a lot of factions so there is a chance this could be extended

or at least a greater chance that being said there are so many ways this could go wrong especially when you look at the situation on the ground where it's not just the supporters of hadi supporting houthis and allies and we are talking multi fasceted conflict and not buying into the ceasefire. >> let's ask about the ground as shaktar as you are aware of are the houthis in a weaker position than they were six months and two weeks ago since the bombing has been going on for so much longer are they in any position to negotiate? >> i think the houthis have been weakened they are houthis and former supporters of saleh and the strongest branches of the military fighting along the houthis as well and remain the dominant force and that being sadz we have seen willingness to

negotiate from their side and the question is whether the time is right for this, most yemen people hope it is. >> from the european council of foreign information and appreciate that. u.s. state insisting talks about the nuclear deal won't be rushed and said the press says it's not open ended and john kerry said he is prepared to call an end to talks with iran if tough decisions are not made although he says progress is being made to the comprehensive deal which has to stand the test of time. our diplomatic editor james base in vienna where talks have been taking place, are still taking place and james when he said the test of time he said this has to last decades. >> yes, this has to be a final watertight agreement with iran. in some ways it was easier for interim agreements because we could come back to them again and this is something that has to last and that is one of the

reasons why this takes so long. not only do you have to come up with an agreement, you have to define every single term in the agreement and so no one can have a misunderstanding further down the line. now everyone is saying they are making progress. a short time ago the iran foreign minister came to the hotel behind me on to the balcony and i shouted at him do you think you will be able to get a deal and we were able to make out his reply although he was a long way away and he said i wouldn't be here if i didn't think we were. and talking about the sentiment of john kerry who about an hour ago david came out here and basically said we are not going to stay forever but we are staying for now. >> we are here because we believe we are making real progress toward a comprehensive deal. but as i have said many times and as i discussed with president obama last night, we are not going to sit at the

negotiating table forever. we also recognize that we shouldn't get up and leave simply because the clock strikes midnight and i emphasize given that the work here is incredibly technical and that the stakes are very, very high we will not rush and we will not be rushed. >> but james sometimes you have to rush if you impose a deadline on yourself and that deadline was supposed to by think tomorrow. what is going to happen to that if these talks are not completed by then? >> we have had so many deadlines and so many deadlines that have passed and had to be extended and the whole process over the last couple of years. yes, this was the very latest deadline and this wasn't a deadline set by the negotiators. this was a deadline that came from the detail and congressional legislation when they did that amendment about the congressional review of any

deal. they set rather an interesting detail which was if they managed to get a deal on july 9th that is today, then or by july 9th, then it will be 30 days congress will is to look at it. if they didn't get a deal by the end of july 9th then we assume they mean by washington d.c. time, the end of july 9th, by midnight or beginning of july 10th then it moves to 60 days and means congress get double the sometime to scrutinize it. that is something that no one really wanted but they are going to have to live with because i think there is no chance they are going to make that deadline in just a few hours. >> okay james thank you very much indeed and james base there in vienna. now israel is claiming that two of its people are being held in the gaza strip and says one of them is held by hamas and abraham of ethiopia decent is believed to have crossed the border fence in the gaza strip

last year although the story just come out, according to israeli sources he has been held against his will from hamas and hamas says he knows nothing about this and here is paul. >> reporter: with a ten month blackout lifted there was chaos when they were outside the family home and the parents and brother of abraham were shocked by the shouting and the mother was visibly upset. when a degree of calm was finally restored it fell to one of his brothers to read from a prepared statement. >> translator: we are talking about a humanitarian case here because my brother is not well and my family and i asked the government of israel to do its utmost to bring my brothers safe and asked the community to intervene and put pressures to release my brother and call on hamas to consider my brother's condition and immediately release him. >> reporter: on september 7th last year abraham was seen climbing the border fence alone and disappearing into the

territory of gaza. why he did it no one knows but he was apparently acting of his own free will. ten months later it's not clear whether he is still there voluntarily. israel accuses hamas of holding him captive and hamas denies that. >> translator: we are here to support the family. there is no reason why people can't show up for their support. israeli government should answer questions here to family of abraham and citizens of israel and hope to get more information and details. >> reporter: and it's be enrevealed for the second israeli is also currently missing in gaza. the circumstances of his disappearance in gaza are very different indeed from the abduction in 2006 but it presents a real headache for the israeli government and indeed for hamas too. coming as it does on the first anniversary of the start of the gaza war back in 2014 and indeed at a time when hamas and israel appear to be entering a period

of genuine calm. there is also the potential for increased racial tensions just last month ethiopian protests turned violent in tel aviv after charges were dropped against an israeli police officer who was filmed beating an ethiopian israeli soldier and the disappearance would have been treated different if he had been white israeli but for the moment the mood is calm. whether it stays calm depends how this develops in the coming days paul brennan with al jazeera. that's one side of the border and let's cross into gaza and my colleague has his report. >> reporter: very curious situation here in gaza but one with very few answers and al jazeera reached out to senior hamas spokesman and asked him whether hamas was withholding either one or both of these israeli citizens the answer to

that was and i quote no comment. still in the background of all of that of course is one year since israel began its 50-day bombardment of the gaza strip and has been marked in gaza by a ceremony including the unveiling of a monument in this center of gaza city. now, this monument is of a fairly large replica of a tank with a clenched fist rising out of it. now in the hand of that fist are hanging three dog tags or military id tags. one of them bears the name of an israeli soldier believed to have been killed during that conflict but whose remains are believed to be still here in gaza. but the other two dog tags from the military id tags are only question marks leaving many to speculate that they represent those two missing israeli

citizens. reporting there from gaza stay with us on the news hour. china's stock market bouncing back slightly but that has little relief for those who have seen their savings wiped out. a tragic place in syria and estimated 4 million people are across the border to flee the war and we will be examining that and spain celebrating the single finalists in 19 years and lee has more on that and the rest of the sport. ♪ reports are coming in that former saudi foreign minister prince al-fizel has died and this is two months after he was replaced following 40 years in the job and appointed in 1975 and was the world's longest serving minister when he was

replaced on april the 29th by then ambassador to washington. now these are just reports, we will get confirmation a little bit later on and have more on that story a little bit later. ministers in greece have been putting in the extra hours, the government racing to try to finalize a package of tax and pension reform within the next few hours. the ministers arriving for a cabinet meeting in athens as a deadline loomed. detailed proposal in exchange for a third bailout and this is a final plan by friday morning so no more chances. we are told the center of athens here this is a rally built as a pro-europe demonstration. outside greece's parliament in the capitol, a number of people there looking very quiet and big crowds as we see the pictures and we will bring in my

colleague depending how far away from that you are but you are in athens and we understand this deal has to be put together pretty soon i mean is there a great deal of opposition to what he and his party and the people who voted no in the referendum are trying to do judging by what you see there? >> well, the pictures you are looking at i'm just above it, david, is a rally perhaps, a few thousand strong, pro-europe as you say ostensibly the yes crowd that got defeated in sunday's referendum and there were some yes flags down there. what they were voting for on sunday of course was a yes to the austerity proposals in return for a new bailout that had been on the table until a week and a half ago when they walked away from them and was so soundly rejected in the referendum but overall, yes, to greece remaining in the euro zone pretty much at any cost. it has become clear since the

referendum greece is not going to be able to escape in any way a stiff austerity package in return for that bailout to keep it financially fit and keep it in the euro zone and we are waiting in brussels and they are waiting as you said for the government to reveal the extent to which it is prepared to give more austerity in return for those loans. >> on one hand you have how far is the greek government prepared to go. on the other hand you have all the others who are waiting to hear how far they are prepared to bend or to see greece remain in the euro so what do you think is needed from he and his team for the creditors to say, okay we are going to extent our line of credit to you and we will work on this together or you are out of the euro? >> well, the creditors are essentially saying it has become more expensive to save greece. the economy is in free fall.

it has been for the last six months since they took office and they turned around a very modest amount of growth in december towards recession again now, back to where greece was for five years and of course the banks have been shut two weeks and has not helped at all and the creditors want to see even more austerity and that is what we hear is being prepared in this austerity package up from eight billion worth of savings to 12 22 worth of savings and what has changed since sunday david is there is a very palpable sense of extreme anxiety in the air here greeks know the banks are closed and don't know whether or when any or all of them will be able to open again and they see the prepice greece will fall out of euro zone and don't know what happens and they fear for the worst and i think the mood has changed and greek also be quite prepared to sign

on to just about anything in return for a deal to stay in the euro zone. the only if is that there needs to be some sort of sense of debt restructuring built into that and that is what he will try to get from creditors in order to sell back to the people here. >> anticipation and intrepidation and thank you in athens. china's stock market has bounced back a bit after the government stepped in to ban large sales of shares over the last three weeks, more than $3 trillion has been wiped off the market. many of those who lost money are small investors who have seen their savings wiped out. and we report now from china's capitol beijing. >> reporter: early in his career he worked in america's silicon valley. ten years ago he moved home to china as he saw more opportunity here. that paid off, he invested in the stock market. in the resent sharp downturn in the markets he lost over $100,000 but he is not ready to

cash in his remaining stock. >> where else can i put it? i don't want it in the bank and, well buying houses might not be a good idea either so i will just leave it there. >> reporter: stagnating housing market is only one part of the reason there has been such a surge in stock buying in china. savings rates are also below inflation which means the middle class has few options where to grow their money and with surging bull market in the year many jumped in and many say with government enticement. >> it's with propaganda and with a bull market everyone is happy and the government can raise money through selling shares and people making money from the market and the government can sort of do a lot more with a bull market. all of this is actually sort of accelerated the market on the way out and then, you know accelerated on the way down as well. >> reporter: unlike other

developed stock markets around the world the most are not sophisticated and most trading on china stock markets are investor investors with little experience and the government is worried about and saying their panic added to the market slide. over the last few days the government put mechanisms in place to help stabilize the market. it is also planning to invest as much as 30% of the country's pension fun system in stocks so it appears to be reluctant to give up on its bull market just yet. >> still market is market and now the china's market is much more mature stronger you will find there a single hand can't control the market because the market has its own power and own logic so that is a lesson i think for the government. >> reporter: john is not happy about losing money but he characterized the last few weeks

as market growing pains. >> when i make money, okay i don't give it to anybody else right, i take the credit and while i think it's only fair if i lose money or i cannot make as much i shouldn't blame the government or the system. >> reporter: there is no way to know when the current market volatility will end. so it's unclear just how much more john and his 90 million fellow individual investors might stand to lose. scott with al jazeera, beijing. taliban says it just hasn't been having talks with the afghan government. meeting in park portrayed by the ministry is the first official discussions between taliban and afghan officials. the group's political officer says those at the meeting were relatives of taliban members and not official representatives. let's get this put into context

by kamal in the capitol islamabad. >> reporter: to days ago the white house spokesman said the americans were supporting the talks, the pakistan foreign office saying a chinese representative was present in talks that happened but now the taliban are shooting this down saying they did not have any authorization from the government. there has been intense speculation that because he has not appeared with a statement in the past few months that there are some rumors as to whether he is still operationally the commander of the taliban but the statement coming from them assures that he is still calling the shots, the afghan taliban had put very difficult conditions saying if there was total withdraw of foreign forces from the country there will be no talks with anybody especially the afghan government. so it's going to be very surprising to see what sort of

talks really transpired and the foreign office of why it is so upbeat when the taliban and pakistan sorry the taliban of afghanistan are saying these talks never happened. former egyptian president mohamed morsi is calling for u.n. security council investigation into the security situation in egypt. and representing the freedom of justice and say the killings of judges and lawyers as well as the violence in sinai warrant an immediate investigation and let's bring in rodney international representing the party and freedom of justice party with me in the studio this is what you want the u.n. security council to do what is the likelihood of that happening? >> well, we are hoping that what the security council will do is look at our request, investigate what is happening and they certainly have the powers to make findings and pronouncements, that in and of itself would be a very important

signal and sent a signal at the cross point and they can take action a well including looking at diplomatically isolated cc and sanctions to ensure that the situation is improved drastically. >> anybody with a grievance against any particular government could go to a body such as the u.n. and say we would like you to look into it what makes this case different to anybody else with a grudge against a particular person or people or party in power? >> so we are actually on behalf of the democratically elected government of egypt that was thrown out of power in a coup and it was found to be unlawful by the african union and many countries condemned it and that is what makes a difference. this is not just an individual or one organization it's a former government that was democratically elected the first ever democratically elected government in egypt and a government that represents hundreds of thousands of persons in egypt and it's not only the freedom of justice policy but a

broad alliance including secular groupings who are opposed to the deep crisis that developed this e egypt. >> is the legal situation is what you want them to do is look in the facts of the coup, the over throw of mohamed morsi? >> yes that is the first step but most important to look at what is happening now with violence getting out of control and assassinations taking place, disappearances over 40,000 persons in detention and very significantly the death sentences of hundreds of persons including dr. morsi that is pending which the government wants to speed up the process. >> and when do you think, if it's to be carried out that the death sentence on mohamed morsi would be imposed? because that presumably means there has to be a certain sense of a finite time on this. >> yes we are talking about

weeks now because the appeal process which is meant to take place, not one that is going to be genuine in the event but even at that level is being reduced and there is legislation penning to cut down the right of appeal and speed things up so that is why we say it's extremely urgent the action is taken or we could end up in a much worse situation. >> keep us informed and thank you very much indeed. now the news continues on al jazeera, we will tell you about communication in london, a transport system struggling and, in fact, to go after the entire under ground shuts down. in sport we have the miss of the day. and in football's gold cup and the rest of the sport if you can. ♪

to return home. the u.n. says the international community has been generous but the fate of the syrian crisis is so big the donors are thinking about how funding can be sustained as the conflict continues. >> already this year people have less access to services. there are already agencies having to cutback on assistance. it is pushing them back to the camps which are funded entirely by the international community or pushing them to return to syria and 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. >> reporter: the u.n. refugee agency says around 80% of syrians are living below poverty line and others are sending their children out to beg and have degrading or illegal work and many say this is a sign of how desperate people have become. al jazeera.
