highlights of this year's emmy awards. >> hello. the release of six hostages held by houthi rebels in yemen. the houthi say they're planning a mass rally in sanaa to celebrate the anniversary of their capture. >> caught in the cross fire. civilians seek safe shelters in taiz where fighting has taken over in the last few days. progress is slow. >> the terrain is not healthful at all. the houthis have mined most of

the fields in this area, and so we're cautious. yemen has not deployed most of its unities yet. >> their leader remains defiant. >> we are confident we will ultimately prevail. our people have defeated invaders in the past, and we will do the same thing again. we will continue the fight until we liberate each and every inch of our country. >> the houthi leader seems to be willing to compromise. his group has freed three saudi hostages as well as two americans and britains. with the help of oman. oman is trying to mediate a political settlement between yemen's warring factions. but these deals may be a long way.

the saudi-led co-alatio coalition continues its hold. 1924 say they will only join talks if the houthies hand over weapons and withdraw from the cities it has taken over. >> al jazeera has spoken with on people who live in the area. this is one doctor's story. >> i used to lead a normal life. go to work and work in my business. i used to also own a pharmaceutical company with my partner. my country has suffered great losses. ultimately my company went bankrupt. i'm not alone. even the wealthy have started to suffer. people wonder how we survive. my wife and i are lucky. we're government employees. we have something.

others have nothing. our people have become victims an. >> this lady has become like a dear mother to me. she and her family were forced to flee from taiz as a result of the fierce fighting and heavy shelling. they now face hardship. they have no money. they are no money to pay the rent for the last three months. but we and the generous people in sanaa are trying to give this dear mother a helping hand with her rent. >> i really feel for my people and my family. we once had flourishing businesses, enough money, enough friends, and overnight everything started fading away. >> to other news, 32 people have been killed in serie-a in a government airstrike in aleppo. the strike hit a government

market. russia's president met the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu to discuss the war in serie-a. >> it's a measure hour seriously israel takes to build up russian arms and ammunition in serie-a in that prime minister benjamin netanyahu has the head of military intelligence, those groups will work out ways that they will not come into contact as this deployment really starts to ramp up. there are fears, too, from israel that the amount of weapons and cutting edge weapons that go into serie-a could end up in the wrong hands. now don't get it wrong. israel is not saying that russia is supplying arms to his hezbollah or any or terror group.

but what they're saying is that the situation, the political a situation in serie-a is so chaotic that these weapons could end up in the wrong hands. the israelis are also worried that the defense systems could restrict israel's use of fighter jets. they could decide it is necessary to bomb hezbollah convoys carrying any weapons to their bases. >> now eastern european ministers are meeting on monday to try to overcome their differences. thousands of refugees, many of them fleeing war are stuck between croatia, slovenia and hungary. they would open a makeshift camp on the border of serbia. thousands of people have come into the country in the last few days. a look at hungary, hundreds

of refugees there trying to border trains to take them to croatia. some climb through the winds to get a seat on the packed carriages. and the hungarian government has posted these advertisements not to enter its territory. if anyone who attempts to get into hungary without permission will be punished. well, the u.n. said 80% of refugees now in europe are from either serie-a, afghan or iraq. but just getting out of those countries just isn't dangerous, it's expensive. we'll look at iraq where people are falling prey to bogus travel agents charging large sums of money for fake visas. >> well, across baghdad you see signs like these. they offer visa services. more than that they offer hope and a chance to leave the violence of iraq. some of these agencies offer

legitimate services. there are others who operate illegally. they fraud desperate people and defraud them of thousands of dollars. this man is one of them. he does not want to reveal his face because he is afraid. >> i spoke, and they told me that there would an commercial fare taking place in sweden, and that he would be able to arrange invitation from a swedish company who would sponsor me. all i had to do was to go to turkey and pick up the visa from the embassy there. they asked me for $1,500 and i was stuck in turkey with no money and no visa. i asked about the smuggler, he said that if i said anything he

would kill my family. i had no choice but to let him keep the money. >> the shorts are saying that they're investigating the visa fraud. but so far no one has been brought to court. administration of migration and displacement a has seen a number of people seeking to get out of iraq. >> realistically, iraqis are leaving. we're aiming to educate them and warn them of the dangers of the journey. we know that this is a problem, and we're looking into it. >> there are no accurate figures of how much money the visa fraud industries is worth or how many people have been defrauded because no one is willing to go to the police and report such crimes. during the course of al jazeera's investigation we uncovered several alleged cases amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars. there are many like martin who are desperate enough to pay. that desperation is mixed with

frustration. a lot of foreign embassies do not offer services. some are willing to go to jordan and lebanon and apply for visas there. that combined with the misery of living in iraq means that smugglers have a willing market to exploit, and they take them for thousands of dollars. >> now the european union has congratulated alexis tsipras for winning the election in greece. >> opinion polls said that alexis tsipras would come out the winners in this election but by a slim margin.

however, the voter turn out is an important number in this election. it is the lowest in more than 40 years, since 1974. that has something to do with the fact that many greeks say that they're tired and their disappointment, this is not the first election, not the last election, and anyway, this mandate of whoever would win is quite clear. they need to get on with these austerity measures, these reforms. they need to be voted in parliament before the end of the year. some of the local reports here are saying more than 120 reforms and bills need to be passed through parliament. certainly a lot of work ahead. every sector of this society is going to be touched. there is going to be tough decisions to take when it comes to social security, when it comes to pensions. when it comes to the privatization, for example, of the ports, a long list that

alexis tsipras signed on to when he ran, there is a lot he needs to do for the third bail out to come true. >> schools out are in yes and no as teachers strike for classrooms to close. on a mission of peace, pope francis celebrates mass with ten thousands of followers in havana cuba. >> what's the cost of harvesting america's food? >> do you see how it will be hard to get by on their salary? >> yeah >> fault lines, al jazeera america's hard hitting... >> today they will be arrested... >> ground breaking... they're firing canisters of gas at us... emmy award winning investigative series... fault lines invisible hands
