10:00 eastern. only on al jazeera america. greece smits a new plan to creditors in a last-ditch bid to secure a bailout. but it looks very much like the old one. ♪ ♪ from al jazerra's headquarters in low huh. also ahead this morning. all sides in yemen's conflict agree it a truce for now. so desperately-needed aid can get in. burying and bodies and stopping the spread. the battle for ebola is far from over. the people in china are so worried about the safety of their food, they are growing

their own. ♪ ♪ first to greece where the government has met a midnight deadline and submitted new plan to creditors. it's design today save the country from financial collapse. the 13-page document will be studied by e.u. ministers and on sunday they'll decide if greece has finally done enough. the greek government is promising to race taxes and clamp down on tax evasion. it will discourage people from retiring early and also seek higher health contributions from pensioners. greece will sell off its remaining shares in telecoms giants o.t. e and its going to privatize the. [ inaudible ] it also oftenerring to cut $300 million of eights military budget by next year. this is the scene ever familiar now in athens.

once again people queing to try to get their money out of the atms. later on the greek mime perimeter could face opposition from some hard line members of his own party who reject any austerity. let's go to athens and speak to john, who is there for us this morning. this plan, is there much difference john? >> reporter: no. as we have been saying in the last few days, and as you rightly said just now it's very much based on what the greek government has already agreed to and what creditors have proposed in their final offer before, of course, the entire process broke down with the greek delegation walking out and declaring a referendum, we have lost 10 days but back to where we were. this plan you outlined earlier on does take some concessions from the public sector. it does promise to streamline the retirement ages and the

state sector and private sector. in the private sector you retire at 67. there are no exceptions to that. there are still exceptions in the public sector. and those will be done away with. that's a significant concession on the part of the state. but i think the onus really falls on the private sector here. you've got corporate tax going up from 26 to 28%. you've got companies now paying up 100 percent of next year's tax in advance. that's going to be very difficult. particularly for smaller he wants prizes which form the backbone of the economy here. and you have a promise to clamp down on the ton i think tax which is what is paid by shipping here. shipping say key greek industry, it's the flagship global city for greece, and it brings in 7% of g.d.p. previous greek government have his tried to increase that. they want to bring in more shipping business, if you increase the ton age tax, i

don't think that will happen. shippers are already relifting their -- [speaking at the same time] >> i am not sure that measure will help the greeks in a long-term. the first stage is to be passed by parliament. is it "america tonight" it a done deal that with t will be passed? is there a great deal of confidence? >> reporter: there is more optimism now. there are no horrible surprises we have all trodden this same ground for the last two weeks and people are familiar with the ideas. what real would i sell this package is if the government is right in saying that this will finance the greek government through the next three years not just 18 months or two years that gives a nice long period of stability. and secondly, if it does come, accompanied by a third 5 million euro investment plan what, the commission president promised, when talks broke off and if it duds indeed, come, accompanied

by a rescheduling of the greek debt. that's the big one. that's what makes the debt viable over the longer term. if greeks are given 40 years to pay it off as the international monetary fund suggested rather than six fine which is what is in the currents plan. >> let's take it back to the people on the street. you have seen them queuing up to the atms to get their money out. what was the point of holding that referendum if the points within this new deal are no different? are they aware of this? >> reporter: well, this is something that is broadly discussed. a lot of people are very angry about the referendum, evening though the greeks were given a chance to vents their frustration with austerity. people still are fundamentally against austerity even those who voted yes. they don't believe it's working. that's a uniform position here. but i think the referendum was partly an internal party matter. it enabled mr. tsipras to give the choice to the greek peek to

say, yes or no to the plan. because there was the risk that if he brought it in to parliament, it would cause a division within his party. now he seems to have circumvented that partly by giving the people that chance to vent and secondly, by announcing yesterday on thursday, that all m.p.s will be allowed to vote according to conscience. not a lot party lines this. presumably is to give permission to his own hard line left wingers to cop out in effect to say we are not going to vote for this. we are going to rely on the opposition to vote for it. so he's giving his far left wing a freeride in effect. he's allowing parliament to pass it on the strength of the opposition vote at no political cost to his left wingers. >> okay, john, thank you very much. live there from ago athens. yemen's government in exile and houthi rebels have agreed to a ceasefire until the end of the muslim month of ramadan. the week-long truce whack brokered by the united nations

and will allow aid agency to his deliver humanitarian surprise. owe some a reports. >> reporter: some humanitarian aid has trickled in to the capital sanaa. these trucks will provide dez matily needed assistance to hundreds of families forced to leave their homes a temporary ceasefire means there is hope more aid will reach other areas. most of the road access is in control of houthi fighters. >> during the humanitarian pause, humanitarian agencies and their partners aim to reach people in need with the central -- essential medicine, fashion nation, food and water if they have access aid agencies plan to stockpile surprise throughout yemen, including supplies for nutritional assistance for acutely mall nor i should children, medical shelters, without, he sanitation and medical splices which could benefit over 2.3 million people. & food for 1.2 million people for one month. >> reporter: it took the u.n.

envoy much convince to go reach a brief humanitarian pause in the fighting. and statements from the houthi leadership and yemen's government in exile make it clear that hostile is are far from home. >> this is a last opportunity for the huge and i saleh forces two and a half months ago they were offered a six-day cruise trues and an opportunity to geneva here they have one more chance by the international community. we all reacted positively to this truce in order to said aid to yemeni people. >> reporter: ships like this can find finally make it to places like aden and then further inland. some by air and small boats have made it through. but the bulk has remained undelivered. despite the lift are of the saudi-led blockade u.n. agencies attempts to sends ships failed because of insecurity. >> one would hope this particular ceasefire lasting maybe a little bit longer, if indeed it's honored by all

sides. >> reporter: the people of yemen can only hope that all parties not just op or this agreement but find ways to end the conflict. al jazerra. security officials from india and pakistan will meet in new delhi to discuss how the two countries can combat terrorism. it's a major diplomatic development and follows the first meeting between indian and pakistani leaders since talks broke down last year. they met on the sidelines of a summit being held in russia on thursday. they have agreed to attends a regional summit due to take place in pakistan next year. if the u.s. secretary of state has threatened to walk away from nuclear talks with iran if decisions are not made soon. john kerry's comments follow tough negotiations between the two sides in vienna. the u.s. was pushing hard for a deal to be made by thursday so it could presents details to congress, but that deadline has now been missed. and mr. kerry says they will not
