Fly by images from the new horizon probe. Jordan spieth talks about his hopes of a third successive major, but will the conditions prove to be too much for the Young American . Greeces parliament is voting on the proposal that brings new austerity but avoid bankruptcy. Prime minister Alexis Tsipras is trying to get backing for the deal. He said that the eurozone wont work because greeces debt is highly unsustainable and it needs more time to pay it off. Greece needs to keep paying its bills, and the e. U. Has proposed 7 billion to support athens for the rest of the month. Thousands of protesters gathered, they came to expossess their anger with the law being debated inside of parliament. These are the people who voted note to the policies of austerity. Also here the hard left as darkness fell violence broke out on one corner of the square. High core of protesters threw molotov cocktails at police. In the last few minutes the anger has boiled over. There have been confrontations between protesters and police. Stun grenades have been fired. Tension was rising inside parliament as well as deadline for the crumb vote approached. A member of the right winged Golden Dawn Party with more taxes and higher retirement age. Greece had many alternatives. There must be political will for these alternatives. It is now obvious that the government is bringing an agreement under conditions of unbelievable pressure and blackmail. Having reallied that it had no other choice. It had no other choice to avoid the on set it of the humanitarian crisis. The numbers are still in the Prime Ministers favor. Outside the almost daily ritual of protest by greeks who thought their government was against uster tit. Im here to pro tense against the government. It has done nothing different from the previous one. The workers are still bearing the burden of uster tit. The greeks have been told they have no choice but to succumb to the conditions imposed upon them by this creditors. Despite the proestsment the majority seem to reluctantly accept this. The government will desperately hope that by doing brussels bidding the Financial Relief of more bail out funds will follow, and the sooner the better. You were there when all the violence was happening outside. Has it calmed down now . Its much calmer now. It seems that most of the protesters have gone home. Did get volatile for about a half hour, you had in simons report where there were those throwing molotov cocktails. They were were police clashing with the crowds. The crowds would disperse, come back out chant some more and then it seemed to quiet down pretty quickly. All in all it didnt get as volatile outside today as people expected, and quite frankly there werent as many people outside as expected earlier in the day. Earlier in the day we were hearing from officials there could be tens of thousands of people gathered here protesting the debate that was going inside parliament. In the end of the day it looked as though thousands were outside, and it was only a small number of that much larger crowd that started the scuffles with the police. At this hour all seems quite quiet. Tell us about the timing of this vote in parliament. We seem to be past the deadline as of now. Weve been told throughout the evening that by midnight the coat was steeld to take place. There has been confusion on this point throughout the day it has been back and forth. This is a very complicated issue. There is still this argument going on inside of parliament. Members are trying to get their view points expressed. There are arguments that have broken out. Insults being hurled from Different Party members. Some very much against these austerity measures being voted on. What is really going to come down to tonight is will this pass . Weve been told there could be as many 30 members of Prime Minister tsipr ass party that might vote against this memorandum tonight. That would be humiliateing for the Prime Minister, but were told throughout the dana we just dont know. Well wait and see when the vote happens. Theyre about 15 minutes behind schedule. That should have already happened, from what weve been told throughout the evening. Thankthank you for keeping an eye on things for us there in athens. Criticizing the bail out deal and threatened to withdraw support. The report only at complicate complicated issue. Whether to accept new austerity measures, the imf said that they wont work. The report sums up what many already know. Greeces public debt has become highly unsustainable. Just remind ours that figure now sits at around 323 billion euros, and the greek debt now equals 177 of gross gomes tick product, but that will hit 200 of gdp in the next two years. Greece would owe twice as much as its over all economic output, and the International Monetary fund considers this impossible to pay back. It has come up with several proposals. One is for creditors to dramatically extend the grace period so greece makes no payments for 30 years. And part of the debt be written off so greece would owe less money. But European Countries have said thats what burdened their tax payers. The imf said without debt relief greece cant be rescued and the organization wont be part of any new bailout. May be analysts believe that sooner or later were going to have the general elections because basically we have the cooperation of the opposition parties, but not the cooperation in support of his own party. So whatare we expecting surprises . It seems that the vote has been delayed. Is there something that they have more to say on this . Its not unusual in the Greek Parliament, im not surprised on that. Okay, and what about the imf imfs role in all of this. This last minute they published a critical report. Is it to dissuade those in parliament or is it for those who have made up their minds. No, they have made up their minds. Theyll decide to vote even before the session in the parliament. But what the imf says is that its extremely important for the european union. The greek debt is only viable to make it work out for everyone. And just to go back to events. We had anger spilling into violence outside of parliament. Do you think thats a small flareup or is it the start of something bigger . Thats a very good question. I think its something that is the start ever something bigger. The government and the too many of the people. Thank you very much indeed. Still ahead on al jazeera. A former nazi known as the bookkeeper of auschwitz has been convicted 70 years after the end of world war ii. One moment hes there and the next hes gone. The video that shows the mexican drug lord has escaped from prison. And in sport chris f roome hits back as he takes another step close for victory. Pure suing a safer world and once in a lifetime opportunity. Thats how president obama described the negotiation with iran earlier in a conference. Patty culhane reports from washington, d. C. A confident u. S. President. I think there is allele thats coming, but im really enjoying this iran debate. He kept talking long before his News Conference was supposed to end. The focus selling the Iran Nuclear Deal arguing if the u. S. Congress prevents him from lifting sanctions iran still wont be isolated. They saw the u. S. Congress effectively vetoing that this is a job that resolves the Iran Nuclear Weapons program in an equitable way. Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu was all over tv warning what it could mean. Apac. The powerful lobby that supports the government said it will do all it can to kill the deal in congress. For all the objections of Prime Minister netanyahu. Or for that matter some of the Republican Leadership that has already spoken, none of them have presented to me or the american people. The Obama Administration is going all without out to keep his partyjust one day after the deal was nanced battle lines were drawn. We wont know for another two months which side will win. Patty culhane al jazeera, washington. Joining us is the a member of British Parliament who was in iran just last month. There have been roomers for such a long time that either israel or the United States would do take Nuclear Sites from iran. Of course, the implications if there was a further war in the middle east, the human cost that could be associated with that. This is not just an u. S. Issue for the u. S. This is an issue for the region, and it was europeans who were drafting the 159page document. Its the european representative who chairs the commission that is going to implement it. For the whole world europe, the region this provides safety and its about stopping war not starting it. How concerned are you from the reaction and the president said that israel could take military action saying they reserve rights to steps necessary. There is a confliction that europe is supporting, and theyre supporting this deal because we believe it makes the region including israel safer when israel itself is trying to put the other side of the argument. But when i was helping lead those talks in tehran myself, some of the dealerships diplomats saying to me was they felt that israels policy has changed trying to keep iran economically weak rather than making sure they dont have nuclear proliferation. If thats the case thats not something that we should support. And lifting the sanctions will have a huge benefit Financial Impact on the people. If this deal leads to more peace, to more Democratic Change in society they would come in and say this was the right deal. Whatdo you think they have been suffering . Each side this had to say that they were not desperate for a deal. There was no doubt in tehran this was a city that looked like it was still in the 1970s badly in need of invest, and we know that the iranians have 100 billion assets frozen overseas and lost 160 billion just in lost oil revenue over the last four years alone. This is a country that has really suffered from those sanctions. The iranians were very insistent that we had to abide by our side of the bargain lift sanction it is they live and abide by theirs restricting the frustrations and opening up to inspections. We will show that we did enter into the agreement in good faith so that people who want to reform and do the right thing in iranian society. Antihuty fighters say that the battle for aden is intensifying. The Popular Group taking over the military base would help them to seize back aden, it comes a day after fighters loyal to president hadi took control of aids international airport. We have obtain the exclusive footage in the battles of the city. Its on the battlefield that developments are happening. Theyve taken control of Aden International airport or what is left of it. Theyve been making significant advances to recapture the southern port city, which if they do will tip the balance in this war. Theyll call this operation golden arrow. Its the first time that fighters on the ground have engaged in a joint operation of the saudi arabia Led Coalition these exclusive pictures show new reinforcements on tuesday they managed to capture the area home to several compounds including coast guard and special forces military base. By the bravery of these young fighters well recapture all of aden. Aden is yemens second city. Taking control of it would allow president hadi and his government to return to his country and recapture. There is also fiercefiesing in taiz. There fighters managed to repel and attack most of those fighting for president hadi had never fought a war before. But they have the damage of air cover from the saudiLed Coalition. Now that these fighters appear to be coordinating their efforts with the airstrikes and in the absence of any real peace talks this could be the decisive battle for yemen. Al jazeera. An independent journalist who specializes in yemen. Quite recently you were in aden. How significant are these latest moves within the city . Theyre hugely significant. When i was there the Houthis Saleh forces had the upper hand. That was a month ago. Yes. Unless they hadunless they did something significant there was going to be a change. Now what it means to have control of the air force more weapons can come in more easily. They were coming in by sea before that. And strategically the antihouthi fighters would advance further and whoever controls, will be able to hold aden. Without holding it, its difficult to hold the city itself. How does it play to the broader picture in yemen . Yes, i think its showing now that the Saudi Coalition can and has done putting forces on the ground. There have been yemeni who is have been trained outside of the country and then brought back in to fight battles on behalf of the coalition. I think what is really important important, and at risk of contradicting your report, theyre not president obama not pro hadi. Certainly the fighters i spoke to they dont want hadi back. Maybe the president is someone they would find acceptable, but really theyre not pro hadi fighters theyre antihouthi. This is where you might have issues where people are fighting for the same cause but they dont have the same goal these goes to separation in the south. They have shown the ability that they can fight. They may well be prepared to continue that battle in order to push for independence but theyre not a solid group either. Its not like they would be a Cohesive Group if they push for that but they have proved that theyre willing and age to fight on the grouped rather than talk about it as theyve done for man years now. Thats something that theyll have to deal with after this battle has been fought for aden. Iona craig, thank you very much indeed. Now german has convicted a 94yearold man. Oscar grening worked at auschwitz for two years collecting belongings of the people. He entered the court a frail elderly man. For three months this trial has heard evidence of Oscar Groenings wartime past. As a young man he worked as a clerk at wash auschwitz. He did accept moral guilt but it was up to the judges to establish legal guilt. Now they have, sentencing him to four years in prison. The presiding judge explained that the defendants service in auschwitz should be taken as a whole, supporting a main crime murder in 300,000 cases and should be found guilty as much. Auschwitz was the most single murder yows day of help. Its thought that 1 million jews were killed at the camp. 100,000 romas poles homosexuals and Political Prisoners were also murdered. Oscar groenings role was to collect and sort the belongings of the murdered. He had particular responsibility of foreign currency, jewelry and gold found among the possessions. This man survived auschwitz. 30 members of his family did not. Unfortunately, i cannot forgive him for what he has done. Maybe he took the ring from my mothers finger when she was forced off the train and my father too. In previous conversation, Oscar Groening chose to speak about his time in auschwitz to oppose those who deny that the exterminations ever took place there. He is one of the last to stand trial. Although he was given given a sentence he will spend it at home. Artifacts stolen by isil were recover and returned to their owners. And in sports find out which sri lankaen batsman hit a record.

Protests outside of Greek Parliament in athens has turned violent. Battles in aden have intensified. Forces backing saudi arabia say theyre closer to taking full control of the main potter there. And u. S. President barack obama said that the Nuclear Agreement with iran is the best way to avoid an arms race and more war in the middle east. Speculation that two countries could reestablish ties after breaking them off 35 years ago. We have reports on washingtons i dont know going concerns about middle east. Celebrations in tehran as the u. S. And other p 5 plus 1 countries hammer out a deal. But that does not mean that the u. S. Is going to work on the iran leadership on isil and the syria civil war. Diplomacy has a much better chance of results. The old Iranian Embassy here in washington. Its been closed since 1980. Of course thats when u. S. And tehran broke off relations. Under the geneva convention, the u. S. Is responsible for maintaining the building but dont expect more. There is talk that the u. S. May be able to use the moment to help end syrias civil war. We need to see whether or not the iranians are willing to play ball to corrected this situation. To date weve not done that. Weve placed our emphasis entirely on the nuclear issue. Weve set aside these other things and now its time to pivot. And it could deprive isil, a mutual enemy of recruiting tools. But such cooperation runs the risk of increasing tensions between the u. S. And its traditional ally sunnidominated saudi arabia, which views iran as as as a rival however, time is running out for the Obama Administration with just 17 months before it leaves office. It has a landmark deal with iran but its likely to be years before the country is distinctively regarded by the u. S. As a friend and not foe. In iraq 23 fighters have been killed in an attack in baghdad. Theyre moving close for ramadi in efforts to take the city from isil. The operation to take Anbar Province continues. Forces are moving in troops and moving heavy equipment into the area and taking towns and villages on the outskirts of ramadi and fallujah. They take these towns and villages from isil and use them to stage an attack on two big cities. If they take the cities of ramadi and fallujah that will give them control of the province thats the point of the operation. Weve seen 27 airstrikes targeting 67 positions around the city in fallujah has taken place in recent areas. The largest u. S. Led Coalition Airstrikes campaign weve seen. It does mean a stepping unfortunate in the u. S. Led Coalition Airstrikes. All of this is leading up to the retaking of those two cities of ramadi and fallujah, but maybe nothing will move for another ten days or so as forces get everything into place to mount those final offenses. Hundreds of stolen iraqi artifacts have been stolen and returned by military forces. We have reports from baghdad. There have been lots ever allegations. But this is belief believed to be the first public evidence that isil is looting. Recovering hundreds of artifact after killing a senior isil leader. With intelligence adults and data they seized antiquityies including gold coins more than 1,000years old. Aniraq has steadily been losing parts of its ancientter ancient heritage. Weve gotten back some of our artifact. The u. S. Said it could not have done anything to protect those sites from the armed groups they call daesh. We do not have boots on the ground. And certainly using airstrikes on targets like that could actually be more damaging to iraq than would the daesh members were doing. I think we can agree that the best way to insure that daesh can go ngo longer destroy iraqi syrian or other historical items is to expel daesh from the region. As for the artifacts themselves most of them are a mystery. Every object displayed has a number. Three of these have numbers from the iraq museum here in baghdad. They are believed to be looted in 2003. As for the rest it will take research to determine where they came from. These are hundreds of sillen der seals used. There is no indication that an of these objects are from the museum. Others might have been looted from i will legal he is can aggravations of archeological sites in iraq and syria. This book on parchment in aramaic and arabic is believed to come from a church in syria. These objects were believed to be part what have u. N. Her tan officials described as a the way things that would bring hundreds of thousands of dollars for isil. The cabinets antiterrorism bill still makes it a crime about those found guilty will be fined rather than imprisoned. Egypt will honor the assassinated prosecuteor by renaming the square in which protesters were killed in 2013. Why this change of heart on the matter of journalists in egypt and how to treat them . The draft law that has been circulating since february has five articles that could really lead to the impressment of journalists especially if journalists are outside of anything counter of the state narrative. There have been statements made in the official media and by government officials that call for media journalist who is are suspicious. Even one whenone where they say that egypt is facing a twosided war. So with this new draft law that was protested on saturday this changing of the punishing of journalists saying anything counter to the state narrative by taking out a twoyear prison sentence and replacing it with a fine was a way to appease journalists. However anyone found writing or speaking against the state narrative still can be prosecute there are 26 journalists in prison in egypt. This is not a sign of more openness. Theyve just scaled it back. They think they can scale back the oppression that might be. The punishment is what has been changed from two years to a financial burden. And so its not lead to go a level of openness. Its just alleviating some of the punishment. What about the renaming of the square, what do you make of that . So thats really interesting because on august 13th well be coming upon the secondyear anniversary of what human rights call the largest single massacre of civilians in egyptian history where the state Security Forces enter the square to stop the protesters who were sitting in the scare toin the square. Over a thousand people were killed in a single day. So the square really has become the symbol of the resistence of the state especially for the current regime. For the state to rename it, and this is not the first time it has happened in history. It has happened in latin america. Its how you change the history of the people. By renaming it after the judge who was assassinated but also the one who issued mass death sentences and oversaw the acquit the acquittal mubarak, its the way to saying that the status quo is being reestablished, and the memory is being replaced with the new culture on the war on terror. Thank you for your thoughts on the subject. Anger in japan over legislate if it is pasted could see japanese soldiers fighting overseas. It will be the First Time Since world war 2. The legislation that will allow japanese soldiers fight on behalf of its allies. The issue descended into chaos. The Ruling Coalition managed to push legislation to a full vote. Legislation that would spell out in which they t could use its rights in protecting self defense. The controversy is not limited to the politicians in parliament. Many opposed the bills. I dont like the way theyre trying to forcebly pass the bill. Theyre using words like peace and cooperation but theyre trying to deceive us with them. Japans military has been constrained only allowed to fight in defense of its territory. The constitution changes that. One government scenario sees the palestine sweeping in the gulf if an oil blockade threatened scrap and its main ally the u. S. A bigger reason for tokyo and washington is close for japans shores in the face of a rising china. They promised the president in april that japan would be able to put its new constitutional principles into action by the end of this year. He knows he has the votes in parliament and seems willing to push on no matter the political costs at home. The exact moment a drug lord broke out of prison has been captured on cctv. New pictures reveal how cities kuwaited his escape route was. This is the moment in which the worlds most wanted drug lord ended his stay in the maximum security prison in mexico. Slipping quietly into his bathroom, and then simply disappearing. Joaquin Guzman El Chapo left through the tunnel outside of his cell. He even had a motorbike waiting to risk him away to freedom. His escape comes only 16 months after the government paraded him as their biggest capture in the war against drugs. The interior minister left no doubt this was an inside job. He had to have had help from the staff or. If thats confirmed that will be called an act of corruption. Mind me is the building where el chapo would emerge after walking through the 1. 5 kilometer tunnel that started at his cell. It had ventilation it was tall enough for him to walk in, and it even had elect electric lighting. They have a generating which you could hear from the road, and you could see the lights from the window. Its the second time that guzman has escaped prison. The first time was in a laundry basket. This time around the u. S. Were desperate to extradite him. The Mexican Government refused. But now their biggest prize has become their biggest embarrass embarrassment. It shatters the illusion of power so the government does not is not seen as a strength of force. It is seen as weak. That would have, um, applications on the ground. There are no clues so far where el chapo is enjoying his newly found freedom. Nasa has revealed close up effects of pluto taken by its new horizon spacecraft. It traveled by 5 billion kilometers to get these shots. New horizons was able to photograph blue toes photograph plutos moons. Still to come on al jazeera.

Theyre shaking their fingers at us telling thats we are a people its a type of solidarity solidarity. But the biggest moment of solidarity was the moment with all the other and given us the plan to accept the biggest austerity for the repayment of the debt. It is the biggest of the grace period. Dear colleagues, i want to assure today it was a sign and a signal and a return to the old scene. Very shortly there will understand. The old has finished. The critical difference now. The critical difference has full awears the difference of those who struggle. Who resist and who surrender. There is a big difference. I would like to assure you.
