from the worlds of science tech, health and culture. no matter where you are in the country, start weekday mornings with al jazeera america. open your eyes to a world in motion. announcer: this is al jazeera. . hello, this is the newshour live from london. coming up in the next 60 minutes. a week long humanitarian truce in yemen. the u.n. says it will allow aid deliveries on friday. foreign minister alfiso who spent 40 years in the job has died. >> we will not sit at the negotiating table forever. >> kerrry warns the u.s. - they will not be rushed into a

nuclear deal with iran. tough issues stand in their way. >> politicians plan to meet demands as demonstrators take to the streets. and a warm welcome for the pope in bolivia brings a thawing of relations with the president. >> and i'm lee wellings with the sports. serena williams silences rival maria sharapova, and is through to the final. >> the united nations broke an unconditional week-long ceasefire in yemen. it will go until friday lasting until july 17th. the aim is to get more aid to civilians facing a growing humanitarian crisis. 80% of yemenis, 21 million

people are in need of help. u.n.'s yemen envoy hinted at the truce. he left the capital and has been holding talks from the government and houthis in an attempt to end more than three months of fighting. more than 3,000 people have been killed in the conflict. over a million had been displaced. >> there'll need to be confidence-building measures, to build to a sustainable and long-term ceasefire. we are talking about a humanitarian pause, we look forward to all the parties respect respecting that pause. the people of yemen deserved this the humanitarian situation is getting worse by the day. >> joining he live from new york is peter salisbury, a journalist and analyst.

thank you for speaking to us. are enough of the key players on board for the truce to work. >> that is the really big question. in it the statement that we saw earlier, we saw an agreement between the government in exile in riyadh and the houthis had been broken. the problem is that the billagerens in the conflict is the houthis, alongside loyalists of yemen's former president, and they are fighting against local groups who have very little contact with the government in exile, with the president hardyourhard hardarehard hard -- president abd-rabbu mansour hadi it's not clear if the saudis or coalition partners are on board. from what i heard from people on the ground there's no agreement

in terms of local groups fighting the hewitties, at this moment in time there's an announcement of a ceasefire, it's unclear whether everyone is on board. it's worth bearing in mind whether under a similar paurks the houthis fought throughout the ceasefire, and the saudis bombed the targets throughout the ceasefire, there's a lot of questions to be answered as to how realistic this announcement is and how durable the ceasefire or pause will be. >> you don't sound confident. in terms of durability it's not supposed to be confident: we spoke to yemen, the u.n. envoy. he is is confident that although there has been a failure in the past. that the truce will go in effect come tomorrow evening. >> sure. and hopefully it will.

but the issue is that a loft of this is resting on hope on hospital mix, rather than a zones that what it seems is the envoy is getting the pause brokered mediated and get another five days and get everyone to move towards a position where they negotiate in good faith, as we saw yesterday. news broke that the government in exile - it's unclear what changed between yesterday and today. we'll take place in a ceasefire once the houthis have withdrawn and surrounded. that does not seem likely to happen. it's good there is optimism but

the reality is that this is a tenuous moment. >> and from what you are saying it will be difficult to turn a temporary pause in fighting into a permanent agreement to end violence in yemen. can you tell me who is involved this the talks. those representing the yemenis in negotiations with the u.n. do they have the leverage to pull back enough recall on the factions that are doing the fighting? >> that's the absolutely crucial question here. when the u.n. hosted tack we had representatives of the houthis and the people's public the ruling party.

those working on a deep level, taking part in this military campaign. we had representatives baste in riyadh at this moment in time. these people the the groups that are doing the fighting they are different groups with different agendas, none are loyal to hardy, and the only wacks was two days ago when the sued suede coalition bombed a base held by loyalists of the president. the saudis said they bombed it because the people in the base were about to defect. in terms of talking to the right

people. it feels like the u.n. is negotiating with one group who have very little to do with the realities, and on top of this is will the awedies and their partners take part in a because. we had no news from them. when we saw that. the saudis said yes, they'll take part in the pause. >> there has been no news from them at all. good to get your thoughts. >> staying in yemen, the new leader of the al qaeda yemen branch has made a speech since taking over. fresh attacks on the united states. in a video posted on social media, all al qaeda members are called to gather arrows and swords against america. he was killed in a drone strike last month. other developments in the

region, prince faisal died coming two months after he was replaced after 40 years in the job. >> reporter: he was the world's longest serving foreign minister. his career spanning 40 years. and he has seen the world change global leaders come and go including his own, serving under four saudi kings, advancing the foreign policy especially after the attacks. 9/11. he was part of saudi arabia's effort to lessen iran's effort in the region including the conflict in syria, where saudi arabia is supporting the rebel groups. iran has been backing the government. as a foreign minister of an important political and u.s. ally he was reported to have been well liked and somewhered.

and described as a charismatic leader. with haj, he faced health problems. in the last few years, despite suffering back pain faisal maintained his challenging role. as foreign minister he has been quoted in expressing regret that a palestinian state never took place. faisal's position was subordinate to the king who was the final say. after king abdullah's death. he came the new monarch. he was foreign minister when a collision was held in yemen. in weeks he was replaced. bringing an end to an extraordinary career. >> the u.s. secretary of state threatened to walk away from the iran nuclear talks if tough decisions are not made.

major world powers will not be rushed into a deal. iran is prepared to stay at the negotiating table for as long as necessary. diplomatic editor james bays has more from vienna. >> reporter: the six countries negotiating with iran meeting to discuss a strategy on what they hoped could be the final day of a long process. after an intense series of meetings the u.s. secretary of state aim out to grief supporters. >> we are here because we believe we are making real brogz towards a deal. 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 recognise that we shouldn't get up and leave because the clock strikes midnight.

>> his iranian counterpart did not meet the press. when he appeared on the hotel ball done i tried to get his comment. >> why would i be here if i didn't think that he said. >> reporter: earlier optimism about the prospect of a deal came from russia where hassan rouhani is a guest at a summit order knifed by butin, his foreign minister is there. one of the key players not currently in vena. we are on the verge of an agreement, it is within reach. >> reporter: the reason the u.s. and some western partners were pushing hard for a deal was because of u.s. legislation. it says the u.s. gets 30 days to

examine a deal. that will not happen. the time congress scrutinises a deal doubles to 60 days a deadline missed as meetings continue in this luxury hotel. >> israel says two of its citizens are held in the gaza strip. one by hamas. young of ethiopia dissent is believed to have crossed the border strip. according to israeli sources he is held against his will by hamas. >> reporter: with a so month news blackout lifted there was chaotic scenes as the media arrived outside the family home. the parents and brothers

appeared shocked. when a degree of calm was restored. it was left to his brother. >> translation: we are talking about a humanitarian case my brother is not well. i asked the government to bring him back safe and the international community to interseen. i call on hamas to consider my brothers condition and release him. >> september 7th last year he was teen klimming the border fence and disappearing into gaza. he was apparently acting of his own free wheel. israel accuses hamas of holding him captive. hamas denies that. >> we are here to support the family there's no reason people can't show support. the israeli government should

answer questions to the family. we hope for more information and details. it's been revealed. a second is missing in gaza. >> the circumstances of the second man's disappearance is different to that of gilad shalit in 2006. it presents a headache for the israeli goment and hamas. coming as it does on the first anniversary and a time when hamas and israel appeared to be entering a period of calm. there is the potential for racial tensions to escalate. just last month there was uproar when charges against a soldiers were dropped after he was videoed beating a soldiers. some asked if he would have been treated differently if he had

been a white israeli. the mood is calm at the moment. whether it says calm depend on how this develops in the doming days. >> more to come on the al jazeera newshour. waiting for peace. south sudan's residents mark four years of independence against a backdrop of continuing violence. remembering the dead of srebrenica 20 years on. more newly identified victims are buried. and the latest in sport. spain celebrates a first female wimbledon finalist in 19 years. we'll have more on that later. greece submitted a fresh plan it hopes will be enough to convince europe to give it a third bailout. the reform ahead of a summit on sunday where all 28 european leaders will meet to decide

greece's fate. simon mcgregor-wood has the latest. >> reporter: greeks who want to stay in the euro took to the square on thursday. they are the majority. what price to they pay for a deal. all day the greek government w, most are predicting more austerity. despite that the politicians stuck to their tone. >> after two failed bailouts we don't want to add a third, suffering, deprivation of the greek people which will not give prospect in the country. >> more and more people say they need a so-called hair cut. angela merkel appears to be taking a hard line. >> i said a classic hair cut is out of the question for me. that has not changed between

yesterday and today. >> away from the political posturing the greek economy is grinding to a halt. the weary lines are a reality, it goes deeper. take the olive business, one of greece's biggest. it keeps the economy ticking over. greece is the third largest producer in the world. hard times are worse by the bank closures. this olive grove a few files outside of athens is typical of tens of thousands of producers making up the heart of the greek olive oil is industry and these people are hit by the banking closure, many losing faith in the banking system and are demanding cash for their crops. >> chris runs a medium sized olive oil company and says person of the banks and reliance on cash gives his business another month.

after that who knows. i think they'll have a deal. it will be like an oxygen. a deal is oxygen. it will be worse. >> long gone is the you for ya of a no vote replaced with real anxiety, and a fear that the economy is on the point of collapse. greece is approaching a defining moment history, in which the economic pain is likely to get worse before it gets better. jonah hull is live in the greek capital athens. the government there has now submitted a proposal a new plan to creditors. what happens now? >> in the last couple of ours literally, the government meant the deadline to submit the

proposals to the euro group, and the government hopes it forms the negotiations for a couple of days for a third bail out decided by leaders in brussels. three days are left to determine the future in the eurozone to determine that greece gets vital aid to stave off catastrophe and the collapse of the banks. two key questions handling in the air, first whether the austerity is deemed adequate by a reluctant and skeptical set of lenses in brussels. the second question is trust. whether, indeed greece can be taken on its word to carry out and implement reforms where it hasn't to the letter in the past. to that end there'll be a vote in parliament called by the government to endorse the plans

they'll hope they win that and give a good voting position to prime minister alexis tsipras. trust has been so eroded and the greek people voted against austerity, are they worried there'll be more pain in store for them in order to access the third bailout? >> i don't think they are worried about that. most see it has a foregone conclusion. that there'll be a high price. the greater anxiety is whether the country stays in the eurozone. and people will ponder how on earth did this happen how did he get to the position from a

moderate growth to now. a vote from sunday that restored the confidence and tried of a lot of greeks having a go, giving something back to the creditors, lenders facing harsher austerity measure. the man behind the calendar. these are dreadful hours and days they are counting down to sunday. that's a difficult situation in the country, a lot of uncertainty for people there. >> jonah hull in the greek capital athens. >> now, the party of former egyptian president muosry calls for a u.n. security council investigation into the security vasion in egypt. lawyers representing the freedom of justice party, and the violence in sinai warrant an immediate investigation. al jazeera was told by a lawyer what actions it was hoped the security council would take. >> well we are hoping na what the security council will do is

look at our request, investigate what is happening, and they have the powers to make findings and pronouncements. that in and of itself would be an important symbol and send out a symbol at the crisis point. they can take out action. including looking at isolated cc and sanctions to ensure that the situation is improved drastically. >> after years of final struggle south sudan gained independence from sudan, it now tops the rankings of failed states worldwide, racked by a civil war that began in september 2013. that's when president sacked the vice president for allegedly planning a coup. the rebels fighting for riek

travelling across the continent before talks aimed at ending the conflict begins. the rebel leader says he's committed to the peace process. >> i'm hopeful that peace will come. if he quits lines, this is peace. if you look at the history of wars. the president that causes a war is never the person who brings about peace. >> as in government controlled areas. life is tough for everyone here. food prices more than doubled. tough restrictions by the ethiopia government at the border crossing made it difficult to import basic supplies. many are hoping that this time around the talks will bring lasting piece.
