and the planet ploouto as never seen before we begin in yemen, and the port city f aden, where some members of the country's exiled country are returning. rebel forces have been pushed out of the city and the government wants to reassert control. >> reporter: the sounds of cheering, fireworks and gunshots in aden, as people followed the -- celebrated the biggest defeat in houthi since the conflict. members of abd-rabbu mansour hadi's cabinet are returning to the southern port city for the first time since fighting forced them to leave. >> translation: we will announce within the coming few days that we have secured the entire city of aden, and we want to return home. the three ministers returning,

it will be part of a plan to return all yemeni government to the city, where they'll be based, working towards liberating the rest of the country >> abd-rabbu mansour hadi and his cabinet attempted to run the government from aiden, after houthi rebels drove them out of sanaa last september. they were forced to flee aden as the country slipped further into conflict. this week government forces retook the international airport in aden. >> congratulations to the people of aden. >> in the city of tiaz, people offered condolences, hospitals filled with dead and injured, after shelling in a residential area. sources say eight civilians and 46 houthis and rebel militia fighters were killed. yemenis were supposed to see a lull in fighting and get access to much-needed aid. the u.n. brokered a truce last friday. to give the humanitarian agency

safe passage to dangerous areas. it fell apart almost right after it began. >> the needs are water, health, food, nutrition - pretty much everything you can imagine. we have a humanitary catastrophe. >> 21 of yemens 24 million people need help. aide agencies are ready. many people can't wait japan's parliament pushed through isolation that could see them fighting in other areas. >> for a second day running, thousands descended to voice

opposition as to what was happening inside. >> the majority was laws on how the country can use its military. >> i'm a teacher, i don't want to send students or my own child to war. i'm here to oppose the laws. >> translation: the government is not listening to the voices the public or the academics. they listen to what is appealing to them. >> reporter: for a second day run, shinzo abe's ruling coalition with a two-thirds majority is demonstrating its power. the bill forced through to a new vote. the passage a formality. the opposition walked out before the vote. for the prime minister in is another step towards what the prime minister calls normalizing japan's post-war stay us, in a neighbourhood changed by china's rise. >> the security situation in japan is severe. these bills are necessary to protect japanese people's lies -- lives and prevent a war.

>> japan's cabinet reinterpreted the other. relying to self-defence coming to an aid under attack. this is needed before it happens, and is designed to make is easier for troops to coordinate with counterparts in asia and enable their deployment in logistic roles far from home. >> shinzo abe will take a big hit in terms of the bills. it's to not so much the role japanese forces will play. it's a broad agreement that the current situation of an asymmetric relationship is not really in japan's interests. it's the message by which he has gone through this. which is by subverting the subverting the way that the japanese governments interpreted it. >> this is about making good on a commitment of japan's ally. it's about fulfilling a long-held ambition to give japan a more mussual -- muscular

presence in the world. at home, though, with mounting opposition to the content of the bills, and methods by which it is forced through, he is paying a political price to greece, where the government says its priority is to complete a desperately needed bailout package. parliament approved tough new austerity measures demanded by creditors. the vote triggered angry protests in athens, hundreds demonstrating against the measures, making life harder for millions of greeks. even president alexis tsipras doesn't agree with tax rises and cuts. this is what will happen next. eurozone finance minister are holding talks on an emergency bridging loan worth $7 billion to help greece afloat. stay afloat. the focus shifts to a vote in the german parliament on friday. the $86 billion deal must be ratified there before it can proceeds. that's when a $3.5 billion payment is due to the european central bank.

let's go to athens where john psaropoulos joins us from there. i believe you have a guest you'd like to speak to. i got to hand it over to you. >> yes, we are expecting there may be a government reshuffle, and hear to talk about that and other things is the former finance minister. you ran the economy up until january. do you thick that this government is now having negotiated an austerity for gas deal capable of implementing what it voted through parliament. >> let me say, first of all, that when i left the government i delivered to them an economy that was growing at .8." they did a direct investment. it was a peak. everyone was bullish and everyone expecting that growth this year would be 2.5 to 3%.

and it only took five months for an inexperienced government and undecisive government to destroy all that. we are in a corner and it was all our own doing, our government's doing. >> you are telling me indirectly that you are skeptical about whether they can pull off the package. >> i am happy that in the last minute they finally wised up and decided they ought to do the right thing and keep the country in the euro area. that means that there was a major switch for them. it remains to be seen whether they are capable of delivering what they signed. i think they can. i think they will be able to once they recognise pushing on

the reforms is a progressive policy. fighting opening them up. delivering justice. fixing the tax system. fixing the general public sector. all these things giving power to the people. allowing the youth to find jobs to excel. these things they ought to espouse. >> they got the package through on the strength of the opposition. are they behond to the new cabinet if they do a restuffle. i think it will happen soon. i doubt the opposition would share the responsibility. i think the opposition would like them to take the snake out of the home as they say. >> this party, syriza came to power on one argument which is that the austerity or cash arrangement that we have

creditors in greece is not final. the debt can never be paid off at the level at which it is programmed to pay off. we have to secure that greece is viable and sustainable. i have to hope they never raise that why didn't it happen when they were creating primary services. >> we raised the issue it was not the number one. the number one is the economy, this was the first mistake that the government did in february. instead of worrying about ensuring that the economy keeps growing, they started pulling this thing. normal debt here was out of the question. plus it was not an issue.

the debt would become on issue in greece down the line. they didn't have to rush and push the issue right away. we managed to increase the maturity of debt from six years to seven years. the from rate, the average, was 2.1, 2.2%. very, very little. why did they make the big deal they didn't understand. >> it was because too much extraction of money from the economy was required even with the changes made and that was impoverishing greece too much. i have spoken to other people who dealt with these matters intimately who believe that greece's european creditors made a strategic error in not offering the debt maturity extension.

all of that remains to be seen in september or october when creditors great to open the discussion. >> thank you john psaropoulos life in athens. still ahead. hundreds of thousands flee burundi to escape intimidation and violence. and be go inside the prison cell of mexico's fugitive drug dealer as police launch the nation-wide manhunt.

>> putting loved ones in a nursing home... hoping for the best. >> my father died because of the neglect. >> are they betraying your trust? >> it's a for-profit business. you're watching al jazeera here is a reminder of top stories. three government ministers

returned from exile in saudi arabia, able to enter the port city of aden after rebel houthi forces were pushed out. japan's prime minister pushed through controversial legislation that could see troops sent abroad for the first time since world war ii. opposition m.p.s worked out. thousands gathered outside parliament. the greek government says its authority is to complete a desperately needed bailout package. parliament voted to back the deal triggering angry protests in athens. >> burundi's factions are meeting to bring an end to political unrest. elections are due next week. and the president is running for a third term. his addition triggered months of violent protests and more than 150,000 people have fled to the border. jonah hull reports. with less than a week to go before controversial

presidential elections in burundi, refugee agencies said 700 people are fleeing each day. this is the border entry point into neighbouring tan significant ayes. a family waits to be registered. scenes have brought back terrible memories. life in burundi is glad. there's no future there. no one has peace. i don't have peace. on one side relatives are killed. on the other neighbours are killed. some are burnt in their houses. >> translation: when i heard of what happened, i thought what happened in the war of

1993 where i lost my husband and three children. that's why we decided to come. in the distance behind them is the burundian hills. many have fled the violence and intimidation, as the president plans to stand for a third consecutive term. it set rival political factions against one another. >> they arrested me and asked me who i would vote for. i said i couldn't vote. i couldn't walk they started beating me . one asked where is my hammer. let's just get rid of him. >> the refugees here would live at the camp. mass shelters would house 200 at a time. the large influx means they'll work longer than the one or two days in which they resign. -- designed. the children will be schooled as more and more arrive, it's a kind of normal a long way from home.

taking you to ethiopia where a u.n. global summit is being held. the issue of tax is turning out to be a divisive topic. poorer countries want a tox body to stop tax. some pushed back. here is an example. a year ago when oil was $100 per barrel, a multinational in nigeria could sell at the lower price of $60 to another arm of the same company in a tax haven like lichtenstein. the company appears to make a low profit and pays a smaller portion of tax to nigeria. but the same oil is sold to a third party in the united states at the true market value of $100. the company makes profit and nigeria losses out. the executive director of oxfam international says rich countries presented poorer ones

from retaining resources needed to fight poverty. >> it has estimated that through one of the legal tricks that can be used to avoid paying taxes, companies cheat developing countries of $100 million through a ship that shifts tax through. they have lost the developing countries through unhealthy tax competition, where they are competing to give tax holidays, tax breaks to companies to get away without paying their fair share. it is so important for the developing countries to have their resource they need to finish their development goals, that the loopholes are closed. it can only be closed where all government sits together and

tables their issues. this is what the rich countries denied them. developing countries have been strong in putting up a fight, and this issue will go away. it's taken on a long time to come. all sit together to shake the system. i have no doubt photos of executions have been shown to the congress smuggled out by a syrian arm yes defector. these are images of horror leaving it to the imagination. bearing signs of starvation. they were taken between 2011 and 2013, in two damascus military hospitals on the orders of the syrian government intelligence

service. last year he appeared before the u.s. congress after defecting with 50,000 images of torture. syria dismissed them as forgeries, the fbi and others are convinced they are authentic. a sample on display by the u.s. holocaust museum was put on exhibit in the capitol building. a former detainee described how he had to walk over dead bodies on the way to be questioned and ultimately tortured. >> it took them five hours of beating me to get tired, before carrying me to my cell. >> he identified two photos, a doctor and a neighbour who were never involved. a senior public politician said america lost its moral clarity two years ago, by backing off military action in response to the first confirmed reports of syrian chemical weapons attacks. >> that was a moment in time for us as a nation to step forward

with an operation that could have greatly changed the momentum. >> another condemned the decision to restrict u.s.a. to syrian opposition fighters. >> we are training people. the plans are to train more. send them to syria to fight i.s.i.s., and not vow to protect them against bashar al-assad's barrel bombing. that, my friends, is a shameful, shameful policy. >> reporter: it's feared the u.s.-iran nuclear deal will enable the iranian republic to support bashar al-assad. >> the iranian guard operate on the same base i was arrested. we know iran's effect. when i talk to my extended family in damascus, they tell me they see iranian, iranian officers, like, at the checkpoints, standing there. >> reporter: u.s. military action may fall short of what is demanded by some.

but they are moving to document alleged war crimes in syria, for the one day when the victims may get justice. president obama's been defending the historic deal with iran over to the nuclear programme. he said it will make the world more secure. most of the world separate. it's marking the anniversary of the atomic age. it's 70 years since the united states detonated the first ever nuclear bomb we look at the evolution of atomic weapons. >> reporter: this is the first ever bomb detonated in the desert of new mexico. the explosion was equal top 19,000 tonnes of tnt, about 2,000 times more powerful than any previous bomb. >> movie reel: we knew the world would not be the same. a few people laughed. a few people cried. most people were slept.

-- silent. >> reporter: robert openheimer was the man in charge. the world feared germany was developing nuclear records and gave scientists unlimited resources to develop a weapon it hoped would end the second world war. three weeks after the first test the u.s. dropped a bomb on hiroshima, and a few weeks later over nagasaki. the devastation caused killed 135,000. it shows an unprecedented destructive power, bringing the war to an abrupt end. starting an arms race. within a few years the u.s. and the soviet union would have nuclear arsenals totalling thousands of bombs. to develop the bomb, tests like

this, the largest ever, were quarried out. >> fire. they were done in remote areas, but released fast amounts. the global arsenal peaked in 1986, at over 65,000 war heads. fears of an accident or a mistake, along with the break-up of the soviet union led to a band on testing. the u.s. and russia reduced their arsenals, both have over 7,000 nuclear war heads. france, china and britain have arsenals over 200, followed by small numbers in pakistan and israel. the world may not be at war, but 70 years after the dawn of the atomic age, they remain an important part of each country's military capabilities a massive manhunt is under way in mexico for the escaped drug king pin joaquin guzman. a prison video has been released

showing him leaving through a hole in the shower floor of his gel. john holman gets first hand access to his room. >> reporter: behind the maximum the mexican security prison where high profile prisoners are locked up. none more notorious that joaquin guzman, el chapo, taken here by the mexican government in triumph in 2014. >> cell 20 was home to the world's most wanted drug lord until last saturday evening, in which he sat on the bed of cell, put on his shoes. got up and went into this area, which is one of the only areas in the cell where the cameras can't see him, and he knelt down, kept going lower and lower until he disappeared into a hole, which goes into a tunnel. extending for 1.5km. it's worth noting that the prison is a huge maze, and we

passed through so many corridors and security doors to get to the cell. it's impossible to know where you are inside. that makes it more amazing and suspicious that el chapo's rescue team knew where their tunnel had to come up. behind me is the building where joaquin guzman emerged after going 1.5km in his underground tunnel. sort of luxury tunnel that had ventilation, electric lighting and a motorbike that could have whisked him to freedom. there's an all-out manhunt to catch him. it's anyone's guess where joaquin guzman is now after a nine year journey pictures have been sent back. john hendren takes a look. >> this is pluto, as never seen before.

n.a.s.a.'s new horizon spacecraft flew past capping a recon scans beginning 50 years ago. the nuclear-powered probe was watched by scientists at john hopkins physics lab as it passed between the orbits of pluto and its primary moon sharon. fasten your saturday belts, new horizons landed at the pluto system. >> reporter: the fly by ended a movie behind the copier belt. >> yesterday the programme took a leap for humankind. stood the new horizon team wag bringing a blurred point of light into focus. >> >> pluto is the last major unexplored body in the solar systems. n.a.s.a. officials say they have learnt something new. >> we discovered pluto is a little larger than anticipated. we have good measures of its diameter and radius. it's 1185km, plus or minus 10.

that settles the debate about the largest object in the koyper belt. new horizons spent more than 8 hours looking back at pluto, for a series of experiments, to study the planet's atmosphere and photographing it and mapping it. it took 4.5 hours to send back, the time it took radio signals at light speed travelling to earth. to travel 5 billion kilometres back to earth. once considered an icy dead world, the new images show that it contained massive mountains and water a main building block of life. >> the steep topography means the bedrock making the mountains must be made of h2o, of water ice. >> it will take 16 months of new horizons to transmit back the images and measurements taken during tuesdays fly-by. pluto was demoted to the status of a dwarf planet. after the discovery of other rocks and ice belts, objects are believed to be remnants of the solar system 4.6 billion years ago.
