Hello. An emergency summit of e. U. Leaders is about to start with no signs so farover how they might resolve the greek debt crisis. The Prime Minister wants some of greeces debt written off, but its not clear if he has any new proposals to present to the summit. The french Prime Minister said france was doing everything it could to keep greece in the euro zone. Events are being closely watched in greece. In a moment well go live to our correspondent in brussels and athens but first Barnaby Phillips sent this report from the greek capitol. Reporter at the foot of this mountain, this man examines his win yard and worries about the coming weeks. His grapes wont wait for greece to solve its financial problems. If they are not picked in september, they will be ruined and so will he. And right now he cant get money from the banks to pay his suppliers. Translator time is precious. Very soon the harvest starts and then everything needs to happen. I hope a solution will be found very soon. Reporter wine is one of greeces oldest industries. He inherited his vineyard from his father but needs more than generations of expertise to save it now. Almost everything in this vineyard apart from the grapes themselves is imported the glass, these barrels come from france, even these corks come from portugal and this shows why greece would face such a difficult time if it was kicked out of the euro zone because even a successful business like this one, is heavily reliant on imports that would suddenly become much more expensive if greece left the single currency. A factory on the edge of athens the machinery dates from the 1950s, it still works just fine. This is also a family inheritance. He makes socks here as his father did 60 years ago. But he too is dangerously reliant on banks that have been closed for a week and a half now. Translator last week i tried to send money abroad to buy Raw Materials but it was not possible, so the Raw Materials never arrived. The market has been frozen for a week. We have not received a single order, and we cant pay back any of our debts or loans. Reporter the last five years have been difficult enough. He has already laid off 25 workers, and cut production right back. But now he and all of greeces struggling industries are in a new and dangerous situation. Barnaby phillips al jazeera, athens. Lets go live to brussels where Jacky Rowland has the latest. Are we any clearer as to whether there is anything new coming from greece as they go into these talks . Reporter there doesnt appear to be anything new in terms of new proposals yet. The meeting of the euro zone finance ministers has finished now. The finish finance minister said the meeting had been in his words neutral. Were hearing no new proposals are being put forward, and it really is down to the greeks now. They need to come up with a new plan to put to their euro zone partners to see whether there is a way forward, because the euro zone have put forward packages bailout plans, and whatever and up until now the greeks have refused them and in fact they refused them very categorically in that referendum on sunday when the whole greek electorate for said no to proposals put forward by the europeans. Now apparently new proposals will be put forward on wednesday, so it could be at least another 24 hours, and the leaders of the euro zone partners, people like the french president and german chancellor are stressing the need for speed. Time is running out, greece has more Debt Repayment it needs to make in the next couple of weeks and yet still no sign of a new plan. And we still get the impression that different voices on different sides of the euro zone saying Different Things with the german chancellor and the dutch Prime Minister sounding quite tough and the french sounding quite conciliatory. How much of a problem is that for them . I think that those positions are probably a bit closer than they had appeared to be. Certainly when things were coming to a head around sunday certainly we were starting to see a dissidence in positions. The taxpayers face to pay the heaviest burden if there is any element of writing off of greek debt. We heard them saying very categorically that the writeoff that the greek electorate essentially are burning its bridges. Thats the kind of language were hearing. Whereas the french talk about whether or not there could be room for [ inaudible ]. However, we saw the french and german leaders in paris on monday really making making speaking in the same voice. The idea that they are in this together. They will do everything they can to keep the Currency Union together. But tempered that by talking about responsibility. And at the moment it seems to be up to the greeks on living up to their responsibility. And the first responsibility is to come up with a plan a starting point for a new conversation. Jacky rowland live in brussels. Thank you. As the debt crisis rumbles on it is effecting the state of the countrys healthcare system. A third of greeks now dont have access to healthcare but many communityrun clinics are providing a lifeline for patients. Reporter its a busy day at this charity clinic. Patients keep arriving hoping to have their pain relieved. Everyone working here is a volunteer, professionals who fill in when the government cant. We are a european country. We want to stay a european country, to remain a european country, but many of these people they cannot smell what europe is even more. Reporter the clinic is run on donations and is political in its origins, it is clearly siding with the government and a no vote. When this clinic first opened it was mainly immigrants coming here. But over the past four years the number of greek patients has increased increased increased steadily. This person owned a furniture frkry for 40 years ago. He sold it four years ago. He suffers from a tumor on his lung. Translator i cant go to the hospital. I dont have insurance. I couldnt pay for it. The only solution for me to be alive is to come here. If i didnt come here i would be dead. Reporter the wait can be long and frustrating at times, but with the neverending Crisis Community clinics have become a lifeline for many. This is an unemployed electrical engineer. He says he is an optimist by nature exsemiwhen it comes to his country. Not at all. Not at all. Its unrealistic. Im a technocrat, so the care is going down. More . More and more. Reporter the volunteers listen sympathetically, but are no immune to the crisis. This person has only had this unpaid job since he graduated a year ago. Now he is looking to travel abroad. The netherlands, and where i go to find a job. Its very difficult. So if you want dreams of hopes to be a good dentist, i want a good situation [ inaudible ] place. Reporter his patients however, will be left behind wondering when their country will come out of the european emergency room. Lets go live to jonah hull in athens. We have also got the closure of the banks still going on. How is that affecting people there at the moment . Reporter well the banks are at the route of all of these problems. Also the real economy is really beginning now to freeze up. Theres no money going into it and businesses cant pay suppliers, importers cant buy Raw Materials, wages are going to become much more difficult to pay by the day and week and layoffs are beginning to become far more common now. The banks were due to reopen today on tuesday. They have been closed for a week, of course to prevent the possibility of a cash run. That would have been disastrous. And now the greeks have been told the greeks will only open on thursday because the European Central bank declined greeces request last night for more emergency funding for the banks. Cash reserves are running desperately low. The reality is in the absence of a deal made quickly in brussels they will not put more money into the Banking System and the banks wont be able to open. And if they do anybody with money still in the banks is going to take it all out, and that would be the end of greeces chances of remaining in the euro zone. So the banks are key to all of this and urgently need help. Talk us through what you think might be new in the proposals, because obviously there have been different voices coming out. Can we do you have any clues about what they might have come up with . Or what they might be opening to come up with . Reporter i wish i could tell you i did have a clue. I dont. Theres nothing being leaked about new proposals. The only thing that is being reported in germany is that the proposals that mr. Tsipras might be taking to his colleagues are broadly similar to the proposals he turned down last week. We know there are issues within those proposals where he wants to buy a little bit of wiggle room. We dont know precisely what he is going to come to them with but he will be coming with a slightly fresh face that and is a new finance minister. The confrontational finance minister is gone the new man is said to be more softspoken and perhaps better able to communicate with his colleagues. And of course the greeks have this mandate from the greek people. Jonah hull thank you very much. Talks between six word powers and iran on an Historic Nuclear Deal have missed another deadline. The deadline has now been extended until friday. The world powers want iran to prove it is not building a Nuclear Weapon in return for the lifting of sanctions. We are continuing to negotiate for the next couple of days. This does not mean we are extending our deadline. I told you one week ago more or less, we are interpreting in a flexible way our deadline, which means we are taking the days we still need to finalize the agreement which is something that is still possible. Reporter james bayes is in vienna. So interpreting in a flexible way. How long can that go on . Lauren, this was supposed to be the day of the deadline and what we now have is dead lock. How long could the talks go on for now . Well no one is giving a new date. What we do know is that the interim deal which was done a very long time ago back in geneva has had to be extended again, to friday. But those we have been speaking to, say they are not going to set a deadline they are working day by day, hour by hour but most of the Foreign Ministers who grouped here and had a big big meeting until the Early Morning hours are starting to leave. U. S. Secretary of state john kerry will stay so will the foreign minister of iran but most of the others we think are going to drift back to their capitols suggesting to me they are not likely to return were told until wednesday evening. That there will be a 24hour lull in things but the negotiations will continue. Thank you for that indeed. Still ahead on al jazeera, president obamas pledge to step up the campaign against isil comes under scrutiny in the senate. More in a couple of minutes. I was trying to fit in. Misty coplelands journey wasnt easy. Dancing gave me the opportunity to grow into the person. I dont think i could be without it. Now, this trailblazer is opening the door for others. I wanna give back to ballet what its done for me. Hello, again, a remininger of the top story. An emergency summit of e. U. Leaders is about to get underway in brussels but Officials Say the greek Prime Minister has arrived without a fresh proposal. And talks with iran on a nuclear deal have been extended until friday. Four years since south sudan was created, the worlds newest country remains in the grip of a bitter civil war. They gained independence in january 2011 following a peace deal to end africas longest running civil war. But a new war broke out in december 2013, after a power struggle between the president and his deputy. Since then 10,000 have been killed and more than 1. 6 million have been internally displaced. Last month, rebels captured the capitols Upper Nile State and an Important Oil center. The town has been retaken by the army but much of the oil Center Remains in rebel hands. Catherine soi has this exclusive report. Reporter these are south sudans rebel fighters the subban Peoples Liberation army in opposition. They have come four days through the swampy jungle to get here. We saw young boys among them. Unicef says there are around 12,000 child soldiers on both sides of the conflict, but Army Commanders say some of the children we saw had been separated from their families. That doesnt mean that they are soldiers. They are just coming with the soldier together to join their parents, yeah. But all in all, we do not accept that. And we abide with all of the convention of geneva on the child soldiers. Reporter the fighters are tired, but upbeat. Reporter they sing songs of battle and victory. Reporter they have been fighting forces from the government in juba for about 18 months now, and say their mission is to change the leadership. This commander tells his troops that social forces fighting further north are making gains near south sudans only functioning oil fields. The rebels have joined forces with local militia there, which was allied to the government until recently. Translator we are not fighting for control of oil of south sudan. We are fighting the bad rule of the president. He wants to rule the country with an iron fist. Reporter they are eager to display some of their weapons. They showed us some of their heavy weapons like this and the Light Weapons as well and lots of ammunition. Sudan has often been accused of providing weapons to the rebels but they have denied this, and so have the rebels. Translator we are not getting help from sudan or anywhere. If we were we would have won this war a long time ago. It is the other side getting support from uganda and niger and sudan. Reporter these fighters are heading to another front line position. They say they are fighting for a cause they believe in. Catherine soi, al jazeera, in rebelheld south sudan. U. S. Defense secretary, ash carter is facing a Senate Committee to defend president obamas 2. 9 billion campaign to fight isil. Obama says the effort against isil is being stepped up and is making progress. These pictures show iraqi fighter jets carrying out air strikes north of baghdad. Lets cross to rosiland jordan in washington, d. C. What have they been asking about specifically during this Senate Committee meeting . Reporter well, lauren there are a lot of concerns particularly from Senate Republicans about whether the administration is doing enough to try to deal with the threat from isil inside syria. And thats because the u. S. Military doesnt have a presence in that country, and republicans are arguing that without ground controllers, basically troops who can call in the Coalition Air strikes that have been taking place in northern syria, the war against isil in that country isnt going to succeed. The response from the defense secretary, ash carter as well as from the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff is simply this, there respondent going to be u. S. Troops deployed inside syria, because the u. S. Is not going to cooperate with the government of bashar alassad. Assad, of course is involved in a more than fouryear long civil war now. And isil basically has moved in to take advantage of that situation. But the u. S. Says no troops are going to be going into syria. They are more focused on trying to train members of the moderate Syrian Opposition to take the fight to isil themselves. But there were reports yesterday of air strikes inside of syria. I know you are saying there arent people on the ground directing them. Was there discussion of how effective it was to do them without people directing them. Senator john mccain argues those air strikes arent as effective as they could be because he claims a lot of these jets are flying out over their targets and not dropping bombs. They are coming back to base without having targeted fighters at all. The defense secretary took issue with that but did stress that this is a fight that is going to take not just a few months but several years. And he kept asking the members of this panel for patience. Its not clear, though lauren how much patience there is among these members. Rosiland jordan thank you. There have been two attacks in the afghan capitol kabul. Arm men attacked an intel beens compound in the east and a suicide car bomb targeted a nato convoy.

[ explosion ] 19 houthi fighters and 5 fighters loyal to president hadi have been killed. There have been clashes since sunday to recapture an area in the city which earlier fell to the houthis. Doctors in aden say at least 260 people have died of mosquitoborn diseases in recent weeks. They are spreading quickly because of bad sanitation in the city. Elsewhere in other southern districts, the rebels are stopping food and medicine from being delivered into the cities. Hospitals are running out of medicines and fuel is in short supply. This man says even before the conflict, the humanitarian situation in yemen was not good. Yemen has been for many years a difficult place to operate because of the general incurty. And they tried to adapt to the respective circumstances. Of course with the intensification of the military operations it is getting increasingly difficult to find a space for humanitarian operations. There is the air war going on and Ground Fighting going on and therefore, negotiating access and transport and support lines for our delegates on the ground is very difficult.
