was discovered after new horizon was launched. thank you for watching. news is coming up next live from doha. >> i'm richelle carey. greece saved and a deal is made after a third greek bail out but at what costs. concern on the street of athens. will this deal mean more years of increased austerity? >> plus edging towards a decision world powers are closer to signing on the future of iran's nuclear program and. >> i'm john hedron in wisconsin
11:01 am
where governor scott walker is now a serious contender for the republican presidential nomination. >> we begin in greece where there has been a breakthrough in the ongoing debt crisis. months of emergency summits greece and europe has reached a decision on the bail out. there will be a new loan package worst 82 and 86 billion euros. streamline system, greece will transfer 50 billions"arrows
11:02 am
euros of assets. >> a deal at last. after talks that lasted all night euro assembly leaders announced they have avoided the worst scenario, a greek exit from the euro. >> we have reached an agreement after hours of negotiations, we have finally reached it. someone can say that we have an agreekment. but >> but it's no laughing matter for the greeks. they'll sell off 50 billion euros of state assets. an clearly exhausted alexis tsipras tried to put a gloss on it. >> the deal is difficult, we prevented the plan of financial
11:03 am
asphyxiation and the collapse of a financial system. a plan that was designed in recently started to be implemented. finally we achieved the structure of the debt and secured finances in the medium term. >> chancellor merkel said that they would look at restructuring the debt but was categorical that none of it would be written off. >> this has come in spite of the? in the past few weeks and months when currency, namely trust was lost between us. but going forward what will be important will be to implement what we've agreed on during the night. >> these were grueling talks for everyone who spent the night at the european council. but this process is far from over. the idea is that half the money
11:04 am
through the privatization to eurozone leaders have made it clear that talks on the bail out cannot even begin until the greek parliament passes the whole package of measures into law. so the european leaders drive away into the gray light of morning. most of them can now catch some badly needed sleep. but not the greek prime minister. the night was bruising for him. and he can only expect another bruising when he returns to face the parliament and people of greece. >> jackie rowland is in brussels and joins us now. as you said in your report there that this deal is far from being implement: yes there has been an agreement but there are so many things that have to happen for this plan to be executed. can you walk us through that? >> what has happened is an immediate and imminent collapse of the greek economy has been
11:05 am
averted. if it hadn't been an agreement overnight sunday into monday in brussels and then greece would have failed to make it's next payment due to the european central bank, greek banks' money would have dried up and the economy would have imploded. that has been averted. however it's still one small step on the way to agreeing a new third bail out program to greece. what happens now is that alexis tsipras has to go with that list of tough measures t tension reform labor market reforms privatization, a whole long list that will be quite unpalatable to his socialist colleagues in government, and try to persuade government as a whole to vote and approve those measures in just 48 hours. then other european governments have to also give the green light for senior e.u. officials here in brussels to sit down at
11:06 am
the table and actually hammer out the fine details on that next bail out. we're talking about potentially around $85 billion of new money for greece, and also the establishment of privatization funds, if you like, filled with assets real estate, state-owned property in greece that will be used as collateral against future loans. so that is a lot that has to be done both in legislative and practical terms in only a few days in which to do it. >> jacky rowland live for us in brussels. thank you. now, while their leaders were striking a deal in brussels it was closely watched by every every-day greeks. on the streets of athens gaining reaction. >> the debt deal may be done, but there is certainly no surplus of relief. at least not yet. >> this is the worst day i've
11:07 am
had here in 30 days, christof tells me. for decades he sold his lottery tickets while searing out staring out on to the square. now things have changed. and there is simply no justice. but these days life in greece has turned into one big bad big debt debt. the big fish eat the small fish. tsipras went to stand up to merkel, but it was not possible. the lottery is more reliable than the german government. >> german as enthusiasticcally hauling greece over the coals echos across the square. >> we have to make a plan. with his euro.
11:08 am
with his money. to do whatever he wants to an europe that's not with capital. >> not all were pointing the finger of blame in an outward direction. elias believes his own government's finance minister had more than a little to do with the current crisis. >> he was a man of imperial gains. you might lose banks dollars euros. but you may lose more than that. >> a healthy dose of skepticism permeated the proceedings. >> i'm still doubtful about the agreements. they just agree to agree? nothing is finished yet. >> many here feel their very existence has become more than a numbers game.
11:09 am
despite the deal here outside of parliament there is a sense of stasis, a greek word that means among other things, stagnation. people here feel stuck. worried that their fiscal fates are tied to forces wholly out of their control. >> in life seems more dependent on the luck of the draw than ever before. >> we continue to explore how this deal was playing out on the ground in greece. let's check in with john psoropoulos. how is this deal going to be received in the greek parliament parliament? >> we've heard from various components of syriza, elements that lie far left of the party which are saying already that they're not going to vote for this deal. they have already called for a
11:10 am
new replacement of prime minister tsipras. we've heard from the party chief who said that syriza is a party under division. he's hearing from all of his mps, and what he's hear something that a lot of them are planning not to toe the party line not to follow the prime minister's lead and vote for this. now we're not really worried that this will pass. this package can't pass through parliament on the support of the opposition. because the socialists and conservatives have said that they'll back the government if the government decides to bring this document to parliament on wednesday. however, we also are concerned that if there is an enormous rift within the government, then the government could succeed in passing this but fail to stand up as a government for much longer. and it's not surprising to hear from the labor minister early today that an election is planned at some point soon. we think possibly in the autumn.
11:11 am
it's hard to over estimate how much is ride on this wednesday vote. the european central bank decided to wait until that parliament vote in order to decide whether to release more liquidity to the greek banking system. that's what has to happen if the banks are to reopen, and if they're going to gradualliry move the capital controls under which the private sector is finding so much difficulty laboring. that bank opening would not happen before thursday now and that's only if all goes well in parliament. >> so we're going on two weeks now that greek citizens have not been able to get more than 60 ire60 euros out of the banks. >> if the deal is not passed through parliament, the 15th of july is the deadline, that's wednesday, then it's off the table. that's what the creditors have said. the first thing that has to happen for this deal to be activated is the greek
11:12 am
parliament vote. once that happens once the establishment has decided to back this, only then will the head of the finance minister's forum call up the other 18 members and say please proceed with your own parliamentary ratifications, and only then will we know if this deal will become a reality. the applications are all in. the terms are all drawn up. all that is what has been negotiated in the last 4 hours in brussels. but it's a question of getting the green lights from all 19 parliaments with the greek parliament being the most difficult and the german one the second more difficult. it all hinges on political stability here now. if the government feels that it will fall after passing this deal it may falter. it may decide to come up with something different. my reading of it, however is that prime minister tsipras is going to stand by what he has done in brussels. he will say that i know this is worse than we believed it would be, but we do have the $35 billion growth package from
11:13 am
the euro commission. we have the agreement on paper to talk about the debt in the autumn about extending that repayment period which will make the debt viable because then the greeks would be able to repay it over a longer period. and thirdly to promise not to put the entire burden of austerity on the shoulders of the middle class and the less well off. but to spread it to the upper middle class and the rich as well. i think that mr. stiras will stick to his guns. he really has no choice now. if he fails to bring this forward. then there will be a greek exit from the eurozone and his government risks falling all the same. >> already john psrarpolopous thank you. >> shia militias and government forces and sunni tribesmen are all taking part of the operation to retake iraq's largers province from isil fighters.
11:14 am
we have reports from baghdad. [ gunfire ] >> the announcement came early on monday morning. a spokesman told iraqis that security forces were beginning a new prescription to defeat isil fight--a new operation to defeat isil fighters. >> our forces along with shia militias, special forces, several police and tribes are now advancing towards the targets. >> military operations have been continuing in anbar for months but predominantly concentrated on the main city of ramadi. 10 to 11,000 troops are used in this new offensive. 5,000 within anbar and 6,000 to secure the borders of the province. the operation will focus on liberating fallujah. by retaking fallujah iraqi military commanders will cut off ramadi. but isil fighters have an
11:15 am
advantage, they control border crossings and allowing them to use safe havens in syria to great advantage. iraq's real challenge on its hands is to defeat isil but this operation is notable because. >> the prime minister has control over the army unites and the ministry runs the police units and the militia leaders run these individual militias and there are a half dozen big ones and a dozen small ones. the federal government is trying to capitalize on this essentially make the best it can of a very disorganized situation. >> the iraqi air force is also involved in the offensive. the iraqi air force has just been given a boost. it has received the first four of f-16s from the u.s. the iraqi air force is hoping to
11:16 am
deliver a decisive blow to isil fighters. but in anbar province isil fighters have any from some of the sunni tribesmen. because of that they've proven to be a very tough fighting force. >> activists in syria say at least 35 people have been killed after the government bombed the town of al bab. 50 others were wounded. this video is showing the aftermath of that attack. activists say that barrel bombs hit a market in a residential area in the isil controlled town. the syrian governments have chose an new military general to lead the fight against isil. the city is home to the unesco heritage side. there has been heavy fighting on the outskirts on friday. still to come on al jazeera. >> they killed my brother and my sister and her son. this is tragic. how is this their fault? >> fighting continues in yemen
11:17 am
despite the announcement of a humanitarian cease-fire. plus romanian's prime minister indicted on a corruption accusation. >> france's foreign minister said that he expects some form of a statement on the nuclear talks within hours. now a deadline to reach an accord expires on monday. world's powers have been trying to reach a deal that would limit tehran's nuclear program in exchange for easing sanctions. joining us from vienna is our diplomatic editor james bays. as he says i'm going to make some sort of announcement, he said that a few hours ago. it should be any minute now. any idea what we can expect it to be? >> well, i don't think we're going to have an imminent
11:18 am
announcement of a deal. we did have an atmosphere of on sunday. there are going to be gloomy faces we've been watching in the last few hours taking place here in vienna. various meetings taking place all the seven foreign ministers involved at various points in the hotel behind me. the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov returned to his own hotel a short time ago. are we going to get a deal today. his reply was not not particularly optimistic. he said there is always a chance. the u.s. secretary of state sat down with iranian counterpart and with the european union high representative they met for 50 minutes. the only read out we got from that meeting was when.
11:19 am
>> is there a chance of a deal today, high representative? >> are you making progress. >> i admire your tenacity, james bays. what happens if there is no deal. >> i think that's the very big question. first thing to remember is that the interim deal, that's been extend sod many times since it was done in november 2013, it's been extended three times here in geneva, but that runs out in just a few hours' time. if we don't get a deal in the next few hours they're going to have to have an extension on that deal. but how long can these foreign ministers stay here? you've got seven of the most important ministers in the world all in vienna, many of them have been here many times. two of them, the u.s. secretary of state and the iranian foreign minister have spent almost three weeks in this city putting aside all the other business.
11:20 am
so if you don't get a deal i suspect they'll have to go away. is that a complete break down or extension, i'm sure they're not talking to us about it, it is something that they're thinking thinking about in case they can't get that deal. >> okay, diplomatic editor james bays, thank you. suspected boko haram fighters killed fighters. one person was killed when a suicide attacker detonated a bomb on a bus. three others were hurt. no group has claimed responsibility for the explosion. although my, maidugari has
11:21 am
been called the birthplace of boko haram. nigeria's president has fired all four defense chiefs. in eastern afghanistan a car bomb targeting a u.s. army pace baste has killed 33 people. civilians are among the dead. >> mourning the dead after a suicide car bomb near an u.s. military base. women and children were killed along side civilian men and afghan security forces. the injure ready recovering in several hospitals. from an attack that took them by surprise on a busy rode at the end of a long day of ramadan fasting. >> suddenly a bomb went off. i found myself here.
11:22 am
>> the intended target was a base on the city. in 2009 it was the site of the worst attack on the cia in decades. the camp is still home to international forces. in this attack like so many in afghanistan it's civilian who is suffer the most. the united nations said that the civilian casualties and injuries in the first quarter of this year are up 16% compared to the same period last year. that's before the fighting season began. afghan security forces are also taking high casualties as they fight out the substantial support they used to get from nato. jennifer glasse can bull. >> a civil rights groups has released a romp that prisoners are being exposed to torture. >> these were the last breaths taken by this man before he died
11:23 am
on sunday. the 48-year-old was being held in a detention cell instead of a police station in cairo which is notorious for previous cases of deaths in custody. video shows dozens of prisoners piled on top of each other in a tiny cell with no ventilation. his lawyers say that despite proving his medical condition of asthma and having the correct paperwork to move him to a hospital, the police at the police station refused. they wanted to let him die here. the conditions here are among the worst in the world. torture is rampant and human rights abuses are the norm. death in custody is common. one human rights groups said that 279 people have died since the july 3rd military coupe. most of those died since el-sisi became president. thethey say more than 40,000
11:24 am
people have been thrown into jail in the past two years. most for their political beliefs. prison authorities and police have been accused of intentional when it comes to prisoners. one man died after collapsing into a coma in his cell because prison guards denied him his medicine. two years have passed since the military coup conditions inside egypt's jails means other prisoners may also face death without being sentenced. al jazeera. >> after that massive manhunt in mexico for the notorious drug cartel. joaquin guzman known as el
11:25 am
el chapo has escaped. there is an investigation where prison guards helped him to break out. >> they have coordinated actions in the recapture of this criminal. i have instructed to carry out specific action in mexico security prisons in our country. thirdly, i have given instructions to the attorney general's office to carry out a thorough investigation to determine if public servants from the prison were come were complicit in this escape. >> the race is on for president obama's white house. wisconsin governor scott walker has attracted support for his presidential bid. >> a minister's son and a college drop out he was a little known and little noticed milwaukee county executive when
11:26 am
he became wisconsin governor in 2011. when his first budget eliminated parking rights a few weeks later, he earned a determined enemies and a national following that has followed him up to the top tier of presidential candidate. >> it has helped him soar in the presidential run that he's now watching. it has been helpful on the national stage. on the state level it got him into controversy very quickly and contributed to that polarization that set in and has not let go during his time in office. >> the attack on unions led to daily protests in a rare recall election. for months demonstrators protests outside of the capital calling for walker's resignation. in the end he won that battle and it's the stance on unions that made him so popular with core republican voters. >> that's something that i think it shows that he's not scared. >> political allies say that walker's breezy style masks a
11:27 am
stubborn streak. >> what you see is what you get with him. very down to earth. straightforward, decisive. he has a calm demeanor about him, but at the same time anyone who would misinterpret that would find out differently. he's decisive. >> union leaders watched in dismay as walker won re-election and then signed a bill making wisconsin a so-called right-to-work state one that bars all unions public and private from forcing members to pay do yous. >> the u.s. economy needs to be fixed, and he has broken wisconsin's economy. he is not the right leader for the nation. >> he has not produceed a 250,000 jobs he promised when first elected but he has cut taxes, passed a law requiring voters to use i.s and requires gun owners to have cancel webs

11:31 am
that shouldn't really be there. >> techknow investigates. >> you could not pay me to fake data. >> welcome back. you're watching al jazeera. here are your headlines right now. eurozone leaders have reached a last-minute deal on a bail out loan for greece. it is dependents on athens passing the legislation on wednesday. they have put austerity measures in place and transfer 50 billion our rows euros of state assets. a.
11:32 am
world powers have been trying to reach a deal in exchange for easing sanctions. nigeria's president has announced a new police chief and adviser. he has been working to deliver on a promise of destroying boko haram. there have been more boko haram attacks in nigeria and naming cameroon as well. the financial future of greece we have been asking people how thee feel about the new deal. >> some are speechless, angry and even deep humiliation. one said that they knew that some sort of compromised would be reached with the e.u. but he does not think that it would be so bad according to him for greece. now he was banking on that deal to inject some sort of optimism
11:33 am
into the country so he could find a job maybe. now he says that his future looks bleaker than ever. others are willing to give the benefit of the doubt to the prime minister as well as one woman put it he'll have to come back, speak to the greek people and it will be the most important speech of his career. >> part of the deal is for the port to be sold off. we spoke to some of the workers inside and they're not happy. they say they've been hearing about it for such a long time, but no one ever gave them details what have this would mean, especially when it comes to the future of their job. if they're laid off what happens with the social security and their pensions? some of these workers have been here for 20-30 years and they would not have another option to find a job elsewhere. a lot of questions hanging in the air for them. they say they'll wait and see the details of this deal but they're birdie. >> there are more than a hundred islands in greece, and most of them live off tourists.
11:34 am
so far the islands had lower taxes than the mine land, now under the new deal hotels, restaurant, and catering businesses will face an increase in taxes that in some cases could reach 23%. that was would bring higher prices for the tourists. this comes at a time where the industry is the only one functioning in this country providing up to 15% of the annual gdp. now they're concerned that with an increase in prices greece will become less attractive as a tourist destination. >> the founder and director of bridging europe and athens base tank. you don't like this deal at all. why? >> well, after almost 18 hours of, it's amazing how bad this deal is for greece. last week we have the referendum
11:35 am
on the proposal so far and the greek public decided outstanding outstandingly against the proposals reaching 62%. now the government came back in athens with an almost identical proposal. after a really bad deal in the euro summit. and it goes completely in contrary to what the government has proposed and had proposed already since the elections in january. that will be-- >> what other options did greece have in these negotiations? >> actually, it was a big mistake of prime minister
11:36 am
tsipras to nourish expectations, grow expectations within the greek society that they would have a good solution for greece, it will give a new growth mode for the country and that will definitely address the huge issue of debt. so i think that greece has another way of voting on these measures, and try to implement them but what is my concern is that it's difficult to pass through the parliament. the vote goes to its scheduled for wednesday. i think it's very difficult for the government without the measure given there is also a big rupture within the syriza party with almost 30 members of parliament to stand against. >> so when the vote happens wednesday with parliament
11:37 am
assuming that it does pass are you saying it will be difficult to implement and governor even if you get through wednesday? >> definitely. already the they're completely devastated all these months. it's very difficult for the government to pass--to have a successful voting including also the full support of the syriza government. what they can see is that there is a possibility that the measures will pass, but big losses. >> all right, thank you. >> fraud, tax evasion and money laundering dating back to when he was a lawyer before he became prime minister in 2012.
11:38 am
here is the latest high ranking officials indicted in anti-corruption drive. he denies the allegations. so are you surprised at this development? >> well, we're not necessarily surprised at the development that our prime minister has been indicted. what we're surprised of is the fact that he's still refuses to resign from office. if you look at europe's map you will not find a country let alone a member of the european union where a prime minister has been in office having been indicted with corruption charges. at the same time we also should not forget that romania has the secretary niches which is a special clause introduced back in 2007 when romania and bulgaria joined the european union they're clinking on to
11:39 am
power in a way that has been unseen since 1989, since the fall of the commonnist dictator. and also the problem that we are facing right now in terms of new membership per se. imagine the prime minister negotiating something with the european council with someone say german chancellor angela merkel or president françois hollande. >> you're saying that you believe this hurts romania internationally. >> it definitely does hurt romania internationally and hurts development internally. you cannot have a prime minister step down on corruption charges. i would like to remind international office that our prime minister has promised when he took office in 2012 that he
11:40 am
would bring on the political romanian stage the most honest government in our post government history. there are five ministers who had to resign where is that honest government we were promised. let alone the social democratic party from which leadership has stepped down. that social democratic party has internal resolution that says clearly in black and white on a peace of paper that any member of the party that is occupying a public office should resign immediately if he or she is indicted for corruption charges or any other charges that are included in the penal code. >> thank you very much for your time.
11:41 am
in indonesia three uyghur men have been imprisoned for using fake turkish passports. they were found going of violating anti-terrorism and immigration laws. >> representatives have been visiting a migrant camp in haiti haiti. the >> ethiopia is hosting a conference in efforts to boost development growth in the developing world. >> how do you encourage the world's richest nations to fund growth in the world's poorest ones? this is something that the united nations has been
11:42 am
struggling with for years and it has only become tougher with governments tightening their belts during the financial crisis. there was an agreement more than a decade ago when the global community said that rich nation was send 0.7% of their gdp on overseas development aid but only five nations exceeded that target. the united kingdom sweden norway denmark and luxembourg. it was at $84 billion and went up to $134 billion even though it is suggested that it could fall again for 2014. but overseas development aid cannot pay for all the works that needs to be done. alternative routes are required. that's where innovation comes in. take the solidarity levy on airline tickets. countries can choose to take part in it, nine of them have. it's a small tax applyied to
11:43 am
airline tickets that goes through funds that helps to pay for the development for drugs for hiv a.i.d.s. malaria and tuberculosis. the ideas are there. and financial resources exist. there is 22 trillion-dollar in savings globally. the task for delegates at this conference on financing four development is to get that money working. >> nigerian government is investigating the killing of thousands of people and decades old feud between farmers and cow herders. they say farmers plant produce on their grazing lands and they say that herdsmen allow their animals to eat their crops. >> more than 60 people are buried here. many were burnt beyond recognition. 40 of them were extended families. the farmers say it's difficult to pick up the pieces of their
11:44 am
lives after the attack. >> he blames these men cattle herders who have lived side by side with indigenous tribes for generations. >> the cattle hearder lost six members of his family in an attack he blames on the indigenous farmers. he has not fully recovered from the attack, and he's worried as they take their cattle to graze. >> our homes were burnt and our cattle were even killed or stolen. i think there is more to the conflict than the fight over land. >> every year attacks and
11:45 am
reprisals kill hundreds across the country. in some cases entire villages like this are deserted and there are thousands of displaced persons across nigeria. at the center of all this is the issue ever access to land. farmers blame cattle herders of allowing their animals to eat their crops. the cattle herders say that it is the farmers who encroach on land designated for grazing. community leaders don't know how to deal with the dispute. hundreds of idle young people have taken the law into their hands. >> we're still using the same rules. the relationship between the farmer and the cattle herder, these rules are still in existence even now we're calling on them. >> the attacks have been investigated by a panel of experts.
11:46 am
both sides say they hope for peace to return. however, it seems right now a little spark is all that is required for another explosion in violence. al jazeera nigeria. >> still ahead all the sports, including riseing price of sterling the most expensive ever deal for an english footballer.

11:50 am
>> i ask for hospitality with those who do not think the way we do with those who have no faith or have lost it. sometimes because of our own actions. >> the pope's personal appeal especially here in his home continent is undenyiable. the expectation here is that his message will not only be heard but heeded. lucia newman. paraguay. >> time for sport with andy. hello there. >> thank you so much. djokovic said he hopes to be winning grand slam titles for many years to come. he has nine titles to his name. zoe cummings reports. >> it was a match that promised so much defending champion against the greatest the game has seen. after federer's decline just
