reassure the saudis that their alliance with washington remains steadfast. ashton carter stopped in saudi arabia in an attempt to reinforce the message. in the past your years the saudis have reached more than $90 billion in weapons deals with the u.s., including war planes armored vehicles, missiles and bombs. some of that hardware has been deployed by the saudisual with its gulf cooperation partners in their involvement in yemen says war. the u.s. is providing intelligence and logistics in the fight against the houthi rebels, whom the saudi's reward as iran's proxies. >> we are supporting them there. the objective there is to restore a political process there in which a legitimate government can be established. >> that cooperation hasn't

quieted saudi anxiety over what they call iran's mischief across the region. in particular, tehran's financial and military life lines to syria's bashar al assad. >> so this comes back to iranian and saudi's strategic rivalry and the idea that the u.s. isn't pushing back hard enough on iranian influence in the gulf, in the he land, and elsewhere. >> israel, which is developing advance missile defense weapons jointly with the pentagon, carter will follow up the message to prime minister benjamin netanyahu. >> i'm prepared to go further than any administration's gone before in terms of providing them additional security assurances from the united states. >> assurances, whose specifics for now remain unspoken, but not yet enough to keep netanyahu from giving up his appeal to the u.s. congress to reject the deal. tom ackermann, al jazeera washington. >> be sure to tune in tonight

we should protect each other. >> hamas leaders were quick to say all is under control and a number of arrests have been made but no specific group is being named. it's not the first time hamas has been targeted from within. attacks over the past few months have often been claimed by groups who have work allegiance to islamic state of iraq and the levant. it recently threatened to topple hamas. hamas said isil is trying to destabilize gaza. >> any instability in gaza will be seen as a weakness of hamas and these groups sometimes provoke israel by launching missiles against israel and any provocation against israel will cost hamas also some instability, because the israelis hold hamas as the responsible party for any missiles or mortar shells coming occupy gaza. >> the immediate anymore pact this is have gone i guess on the people here. it's a year since israel and palestinian factions led by

hamas fought a 51 day war. much of gaza has not been rebuilt. there is high unemployment and israel maintains its blocked cade on the strip. after that, attacks are coming from within. >> i'm really afraid. what will be next? now it's a car. maybe next it's a mosque or hospital, you never know. >> putting pressure on hamas to show they are in control hamas now faces a real challenge when it comes to maintaining security here, something it's leaders have always said they could do. it's not the first attack by groups inside gaza, but is the biggest. even though there were no fatalities, it is seen as a strong message and something that has hamas extremely concerned. >> banks in greece are set to open monday. capitol control limits will still be in place there.

germ chance angela merkel is pushing for quick bailout talks so those limits can be lifted soon. >> people have wanted the banks to be reopened. they've been closed for over three weeks now and there's been so much exhaustion here about all this debt deal drama. the government clearly trying to inspire more confidence in the greek citizenry. clearly tryings to look, we're going to get the economy back on track. they would like for people here to start depositing money back into the banks. they don't want a run on the banks, that's why they're keeping the restrictions in place as far as a maximum limits of 60 euros a day that they can withdraw, though that has been relaxed now. instead of taking out 420 euros a week, you can take it owl at once for one day. there is still anxiety here, people not having that much faith just yet in the financial institutions in the banks so there is concern about what will

happen tomorrow, how greeks will react, but for most of the people we've spoken with today they believe this is a good thing, hope this will restore normalcy to a greek economy that's been flagging to a people who are so weary from the past few weeks. >> still to come, we are hours away from an historic moment in u.s.-cuba relations. for the first time in 54 years embassies will open for business in both countries. that story is next. >> also a bit later the mystery playing out in south korea after a man accused of being a spy is found dead.

what do cubans think about the new relationship? we have more now mom havana. >> these fortified walls were built when cuba was still a spanish colony, a testament to a

country that was born feeling under siege. in the 1700s, it was from europeans and pirate attacks and in more recent times from the united states. >> she remembers coming here with her students to help build this bomb shelter, one of hundreds constructed in havana in the last 20 years. >> the same way that he bombed iran and iraq, we felt we had to protect ourselves from possible attacks from the united states. >> that's why the renewal of diplomatic relations with the enemy, as generations of cubans have seen the united states is a long awaited game changer. >> it's bringing us closer together after being separated so long. every cuban has a friend or relative living in the united states, so what's happening now makes us feel very happy so that we'll never have to resort to this again. >> in historic terms, it was

only yesterday that the deployment of soviet missiles to cuba at the height of the cold war brought the world to the brink of a nuclear holocaust. >> this was built in the 1960's, it's all that's left of a lookout post used by cuba's coast guard. they would stand watch here night and day in case there would be an invasion from the united states by sea. now the only thing that you see are people looking towards the united states, but they're just simply fishing. >> this week's renewal of diplomatic relations does not erase political differences. psychologically, it's as though a curtain is being lifted for most oh cubans. >> geographically, we are so close that probably there is no latin america country better prepared to one day be real brothers. you will see. >> but forgetting 50 years of hostilities is not so easy, especially for people like this

79-year-old president of his neighborhood c.d.r. or committee for the defense of the revolution said that she doesn't trust the americans. >> to begin with, they haven't lifted the embargo nor returned guantanamo to us, but here we are, renewing ties. after all, we are civilized people. >> clearly turning this building into a u.s. embassy does not mean that cuba has a friend across the florida straits but does mean that it no longer has an enemy. al jazeera havana. >> early they are year, washington post univision poll asked cubans what they thought of the improved ties with the u.s. support was overwhelming, 97% in favor of it. the cuban government doesn't enjoy the same support less than 40 approve of the island's political system. 19% say they're happy with the cuban economy. the president of the u.s. cuba trade and economic council joins

us via skype from buffalo, new york. good to see you and thank you for being here. first, obviously an historic moment, an historic meeting happening on monday but in the bigger picture how significant is this? >> it is significant. i think three words sum it up, accountability aphrodisiac and bait. accountability in that both countries will no longer be able to hide behind a lack of diplomatic relations in finding ways to speak about issues. it doesn't mean that they're going to be able to solve issues, but it does mean that the texture the mechanisms now are formalized and with that comes a sense of permanence, so accountability is big. aphrodisiac, because the embassy in havana will act as an aphrodisiac for democracy. what lucia talked about in terms of not necessarily being enemies, but the u.s. government

still wants to change cuba and cuba still doesn't want to change. third, bait, the cuban government has benefited tremendously simply because of the announcement. their cost of doing business has decreased, governments that weren't looking at cuba are now providing cuba with credits. government officials are going and companies in other countries are brushing off their cuba files, and they're taking a dip because they sense that eventually the u.s. and cuba will have a normal commercial economic and political relationship. >> you just mentioned that cuba doesn't seem as if it wants to change. with the embassies opening should we expect to see any real changes? >> i think you're probably going to see on the cuba side, more visual pushback in response to the u.s. visual push back. i wouldn't be surprised to see the u.s. bringing some r.v.'s

down there and have them all equipped google and mobile facebook. it's going to be interesting to see just how forceful the u.s. government is going to be now that there's an embassy there. >> ok. >> yeah. >> we know that the biggest hurdle obviously here is the u.s. embargo on cuba. with these offices opening does that in any way lead the way in this embargo eventually being lifted? >> eventually, yes but there are some requirements, and one u.s. law says that there can't be a castro in the cuban government. well raul castro has announced that he's retiring in 2018, so there are going to be some steps taken. i think everyone can expect that unless there's a problem in the relationship during the next year or so of president obama's presidency, that he's going to continue to open the doors. it's interesting to note that if he wanted to today the president could allow marriott to manage a hotel in cuba but

he's decided not to. i think right now when secretary kerry meets with the foreign minister, one of the discussions is going to be president obama has laid out a lot of initiatives. the cuban government hasn't basically responded to any of them. we need you to respond. we need some of this stuff to take place in order for there to be more of a ground swell to move further. we'll see what happens but it's, you know, it's a momentous event. it's very visual, a lot of people have worked for a long, long time to see this, the u.s. business community's excited about it, but now hopefully the u.s. business community will be able to say to cuba all right, the embassies are there, you're

off the sanctions list, let's do business where we can. >> looking at both sides, does it appear at least what we see so far that the u.s. and cuba will benefit equally from this? >> no, in the short to medium term, cuba benefits far more than the u.s. the u.s. and cuba benefits in the long term. this right now is all about cuba, and for the u.s., it's a much longer term prospect. hopefully we'll get there. >> all right, thank you so much, president of the u.s. cuba trade and economic council we appreciate you being on tonight. >> still to come, from one historic event to a landmark decision. >> it's my high honor to accept the apology from the japanese delegation. >> an american prisoner of war during world war ii accepting the apology of a japanese giant. >> i just talked to him. i was waiting for the teeth to come at me. me. >> a surfer finds himself trapped in a swarm of sharks. this is a video you have to see to believe.

>> the u.s. and cuba are about to take a big step towards normalizing the relationship. embassies are slated to open tomorrow in washington and havana. >> mitsubishi is apologizing for

using u.s. prisoners in world war ii. offering a personal apology to a worker, he expressed remorse at a ceremony in los angeles. one of only two living survivors of the american prisoners of war was on hand to hear the comments. 94-year-old james murphy was one of hundreds of american prisoners of war forced to work in the mines. >> so it's my high honor to accept the apology from the japanese delegation who came a long ways just to deliver this particular document, which i find very, very interesting revealing, and i know our nations can now heal. >> let's now bring in professor january thompson of southern illinois university, the daughter of a u.s. p.o.w. and producer of a documentary called "never the same, the prisoner of

war experience." she was at today's event and joins me now. thank you for being here. we saw you in that video. you were sitting there as that apology was offered and this is coming 70 years later. how significant is this? >> oh, it's very significant. it was such a wonderful moment to be actually at the private apology, too. it was heartfelt and sincere and i think everybody in that room was touched by what happened today. to correct you, we have more than two former p.o.w.'s alive. unfortunately, we only have two that we know of. >> there was a private apology. what was that private apology like? we obviously saw what happened on stage there. >> well, it was in a conference

room and officials from the mitsubishi materials was on one side and family members and mr. murphy was on the other side, and there were prepared statements that really touched everybody, that and in some cases, gloves were taken off by our former p.o.w.'s, because we had another representative there, too a former p.o.w., not from mitsubishi, and so, you know, it was delicate, but it was truthful, to where everybody really understood what was going down today that everything had to come out and it did. there was an comments made by another japanese gentlemen

mr. okomoto. it wasn't a prepared statement but he spoke for a very long time, and he was very, very touched. it was obvious that he was sincere, and he was also apologizing. he's one of the board members so today today was an extraordinary day for history. >> your father was a world war ii p.o.w. what would he think about this apology? did he ever talk to you about forgiveness? about want to go forgive the japanese government. give us insight what you think he would be feeling now? >> i think he would be satisfied. i think that he never really spoke, so it was always hard to get anything out of him about his p.o.w. experience and that's why there was this quest for me to do this film. it was a way for me to learn more about my dad's experience

this way because i wasn't getting anything from my father. i think he would have been very, very pleads today. i think a lot of the men though think it's 70 years too late and it's sad that we've lost so many men who could have been around to have experienced this moment, but nevertheless, it took great courage for mitsubishi materials corporation to come forward and this wasn't the original company, so this is a different generation, and they saw the ethickical responsibility to come forward and so i'm hoping other companies will come forward and get that courage to do the right thing. >> obviously an important day for you and your family. thank you so much for joining us today from los angeles. >> also in the news today a member of south korean spy agency died in what appeared to be a suicide. officials found a note in which he denied spying on korean

citizens. the death comes as the national intelligence service faces a phone hacking scandal. >> the 46-year-old agent of n.i.s. was found dead in his car on saturday in an apparent suicide. next to him a three page will, part of that will has been released to the media on sunday in which the agent says that he can reassure the south korean public that the hacking program he was involved with purchasing was not used against south korean civilians. he apologizes for deleting some of the data of that usage saying he was being overzealous in order to prevent further controversy from attaching its to the n.i.s. he denied using it to spy on civilians and restricted it to north korean agents and foreigners with links to the north korean regime. however, the service does have form in this area in the past.

the two spy chiefs in charge between 1999 and 2003 were both convicted after having been found to have overseen the monitoring of nearly 2,000 south korean civilians very senior south koreans involved in the worlds of business and media. in 2012, the agency was found to have used its on line presence to smear the opponent of the victor of the presidential election. a retrial has been ordered of the conviction of the spy chief in that, as well. lawmakers in the south korean parliament are saying that the information that was deleted by this man should be restored to check exactly how it had been used, this hacking program. >> now to a case of long awaited justice. anthony graves was exonerated after spending two decades in jail for a crime he did not

commit. he is working to make sure no one else has to experience what he did. heidi zhou castro brings us his story. >> after 18 years in prison, 12 of them on texas death row. >> 6,640 days, two execution dates, but i'm here. >> anthony graves is now a free man, exonerated and trying to see that no one else is wrongly convicted. >> i just stand for justice. i stand for fairness, you know. i stand for a system that's fair to all of us. >> it was a system that failed him in 1994 when he was convicted of murdering six members of one family. >> what linked you to the crime if anything? >> same thing that could have linked you to it, nothing. absolutely nothing. >> nothing but the accusation of a co-defendant who said graves aided in the murders. that man would recant on the eve of his own execution, saying graves was innocent. just last month the former d.a.

was disbarred for using false testimony and hiding evidence that could have helped graves. the exprosecutor said it was without merit. >> i was wrongly convicted because a prosecutor decided to cut corners, and so because he cut corners i wasn't able to receive the full measure which justice. >> it took nearly two decades for the state to declare not one piece of credible evidence linked graves to the crime. he was finally able to hug his family after 18 years. >> that feeling of being released in 2010 was that i had work to do. that's what the feeling was. i had work to do. i had to let people know what i had went through and what i've learned from going through, you know about our criminal justice system. >> this is anthony graves? >> that's what he's doing now

the mayor appointed him to the confines center's board of directors. also on the board the journalistism professor who fought for his release. >> he reminds us if the science center doesn't provides us quality accurate science that these results are used in court and they could rut in a tragedy for another innocent person. >> he joins the recently established forensic science center replacing the scandal ridden houston crime labs where tests of suspended in 2002 because of management problems and last year, a worker's misconduct led to the review of 185 cases. the new center is a fresh start and one of a kind in the country. it's a non-profit corporation set up by the city and answer to say a road boo of citizens that now includes graves. >> being an independent agency,

is not persuaded by the prosecutor to produce certain results. they can produce the actual facts with no pressure. big difference. >> he has put away all bitterness for the years he lost. >> i put that out of my mind so that i could live today, you know. those thoughts imprison a person and that's not what i want to be. i don't want to be in prison anymore the 18 and a half years i had to be there. >> i know you don't like to go back to those times but i mean during your 18 years in that prison cell, could you imagine that one day you'd be out here doing this? >> it's funny because i manualed that for many a night. it kind of kept me motivated knowing that i would get out of here and make a difference with my story. >> he is thinking of others behind bars who may have been denied justice. >> a lot of guys are going to be happy for this, especially those that claim their in sense and

that are innocent, the forensic science can help prove that. >> now he may be the ear that listens. heidi zhou castro, al jazeera houston. >> up next, a surfer trapped in a swarm of sharks. >> they just kept coming at my board. i was kicking and screaming. >> his amazing tale of survival coming up. >> heavy rain across the southwest this weekend and in arizona, flash flooding and unfortunately, the threat continues for the rest of the evening and then tomorrow. more details of that when we return, right after this.

rope. it's just kicking in. it was gnarly man, i was tripping out. the commissioner's office has decided that there will be no final run today. is that even a concern for you at this stage? >> i'm happy to not even compete ever again. like seriously like to walk away from that, i'm just so stoked, and oh, man! oh! >> oh, my goodness, fanning's leg rope was bitten in half by the shark. neither he nor another surfer who encountered the shark was hurt. >> what do you do there? >> unbelievable. i mean, i don't think i'd have the guts to punch a shark in the nose, but when you live in south africa, the shark population is very big there and of course, you probably need to know what to do if you go out in the water in that particular area, but a lot of people go out there just

to look at sharks there. i want to take you over here to the southwest. last night we did show the video of the arizona flooding. we still have a problem this evening. more run is coming into play across the region. this is all due to an old tropical storm to the south. this was hurricane dolores. it's no longer a hurricane but still is hunching moisture up to the north. we're talking here in california. you can see this new round of rain coming into the area, so not only arizona had problems, but also california, they had problems, as well. 15,000 people actually lost power in southern california, and tonight, we are looking at a new round of flash flood warnings that are in effect right here all the way down to san diego. we'll keep you informed as this continues through the evening a very serious situation as we take a look there. the other big problem across the united states is the heat. i'm going to talk about two places. here across the central part of the united states, look at the

there's a massive inspection system in place to ensure safety. that may not be the case. >> emily morrison is a veteran f.d.a. inspector. >> we've collected one sub sample out of 15 random boxes. now, i'm in the process of bagging them up. put them in coolers and ship it to the left. >> a computer system red flagged imports believed to pose the greatest risk based on origin and a country's past history of violations. >> seafood nature is a high risk commodity. >> he heads inspections for the port of los angeles. >> there are many boxes here and they are all packed full. what percentage of this sample gets chosen to be taken to the
