Hello, u. S. Forces in afghanistan are investigating what appears to be a mistaken attack which killed at least seven Afghan Soldiers, six others are thought to have been injured, police in the province say u. S. Helicopters attacked afghan Army Checkpoints in the district in the province its an area known for its heavy taliban presence and Jennifer Glasse has the latest update from kabul. That incident in the province happened just a couple hours after dawn Early Morning and Police Authorities tell us that it was american u. S. Helicopters that carried out an attack on two afghan Army Checkpoints, obviously some sort of mistake or a communication area that area is a very heavy fighting area, the taliban have a very big presence there and this is one of the areas the taliban use to transit through and we understand after this attack by u. S. Forces on Afghan Forces mistakenly we presume the americans say they are investigating that right after this happened the taliban launched a ground offensive in the same area. It is a very heavy fighting area. This of course is the first friendly fire incident since nato forces gave control to Afghan Forces the beginning of the year. The worst friendly fire incident and struggling against a taliban not just here but areas around the country. Banks in greece have reopened after the countrys financial crisis forced them to shut for three weeks and limits on cash withdrawals but now can take out 420 euros for a week at once, the European CentralBank Increased the lending to lenders after a bailout after reforms package was approved last week and we are at a bank in athens and has this report. Reporter here in downtown athens crowds that we have seen have so far been small and lines have been short and yet there is a sense of relief a population is glad the banks are finally reopened and can go back to their banks and can pay bills within their banks and some people can get atm cards they didnt have before and can access money in a more easy fashion and what we have heard today is there is a real sense of concern here in greece the past few weeks that certain people didnt have access to their bank safety deposit boxes. There was a fear that perhaps the content of those safety deposit boxes may be taken or seized and people wouldnt have access to them and so that is what we have heard from people today they are going to banks to check to make sure the contents of safety deposit boxes are there and safe and some people will take the contents of the boxes home with them that is how much distrust there is in greece of the Financial Institutions and yet as i said before at this hour a sense of calm and we are not seeing any consternation from people outside of the banks and the cues are orderly and people have gone in the bank and as of now everything seems calm. German chancellor has again warned greece the euro zone will not writeoff any of its massive debts and Angela Merkel says repayment times and Interest Rates can change there will be no cut to 323 billion euros greece owes to International Creditors and says a so called greg sit is no longer on the table and cannot take a fiveyear break from the euro. Germany vice chancellor is urging to improve israel if it wants to strengthen ties with the west and on a three days in tehran and visiting iran since last weeks deal and says it wont prevent the development of Nuclear Weapons. Now u. S. Secretary of defense Ashton Carter has met with his counterpart in tel aviv and thanked for his contribution to israels military and has been tensions between the ally since last years deal with iran and western perimeters and carter does not want to drop agreement and will meet with Benjamin Netanyahu on tuesday and netanyahu believes the deal will allow iran to build Nuclear Weapons to threaten israel. Roger is an associate professor at the Australian National university and he says the u. S. Is encouraging regional powers to play a bigger role in solving the middle east problems. I think its shifting its response away from it but i think its dealing iran potentially into the region after the camp david meetings prior to the Nuclear Agreement. The statement that was released reiterated his commitment to the commitment to the government reasons but president obama understands the u. S. Is unable to effectively solve the regions problems and he really is looking to the region to solve their own problems and will have to include iran at some stage and i dont think we will see anything changes in the short term because we have to understand the Nuclear Agreement has to be ratified by both countries. After that has occurred there is still sometime before we see the effects of that flow on the iranian economy and there is still some time before we see iran see much more integrated player in the region. At least 70 people have been killed by houthi shelling in the yemeni part city of aiden. More than 100 others have been injured, fighters opposed to the claim hold the city and the rebels have been holding back and fighters on both sides have been killed in attack in the neighboring provinces. The battle in thai are particularly tense and forces loyal to president hadi with the mountain town. The libyan airforce of the tabrook government says it sunk a vessel and no independent confirmation of the strike which is 20 kilometers from the eastern port city. Airforce Spokesman Says the vessel they sunk was carrying fighters, weapons and ammunition. Now four italian citizens have been kidnapped in the region and italy Foreign Ministry says they were construction employees kidnapped near a compound own by an italian oil and gas group. Cuba and the United States restored full diplomatic relations for the first time in half a cent are i they are reopening embassys. Reporter these fortified walls were built when cuba was a spanish colony and a country born feeling under siege. It was from european and pirate attacks and more resent times the United States. She remembers all too welcoming here with her students to help build this bomb shelter. One of hundreds constructed in havana in the last 20 years. Translator the same way they bombed the iran and iraq we felt we had to protect ourselves from possible attacks from the United States. Reporter thats why the renewal of diplomatic relations was the enemy as generations of cubans have seen the United States its a long awaited game changer. A way of bringing us closer together after being separated so long and after person has a relative living in the United States so what is happening now makes us feel very happy so that we will never have to resort to this again. In historic terms it was yesterday that deployment of missiles at cuba at the height of the cold war brought the world to the brink of a nuclear holocaust. This was built in the 60s and all that is left of a lookout post used by cuba coast guard and they were here night and day in case there was invasion of United States by sea and now the only thing you see is people looking towards the United States but they are simply fishing. This renewal of diplomatic relations does not erase placel differences but psychologically its as though a curtain is being lifted for most cubans. Translator geographically we are so close that probably there is no latin American Country to better be prepared to be brothers you will see. Reporter but for getting 50 years of hostilities is not so easy especially for people like this 79yearold president of the neighborhood cdr or committee for the defense of the revolution says that she doesnt trust the americans. Translator to begin with they have not lifted the embargo against cuba or returned guantanamo to us and we are renewing ties with civilized people. Reporter it doesnt mean that cuba has a friend across the florida straits but means it no longer has an enemy. Newman with al jazeera, havana. Felix rodriguez is a former cia officer and cuban american who fought in the bay of pigs effort to topple castro and says immediate changes are unlikely in cuba. Translator they are not with the relations because they are not pushing changes to give people the freedom they deserve. The cuban people have only one party and only have a system that doesnt have separation of power. The legal system is due to the government and do whatever they request from them. So even when you do investment in cuba you have no guaranty you can take it to a court because the court will rule in favor of the government so its a disaster what the president is doing at a time when they need revenue and money and should be able to push then to give free election to the cuban people to elect a different system and speak openly with the president and the press and those are the things we want to change.

For 70 years since the war ended the prisoners of war who work for these Japanese Companies have asked for something very simple they asked for an apology and listen very carefully to the statement of apology and found it very very sincere.

Didnt give us medical care and they would beat you in the coal mines and the civilians would beat you if you didnt work fast enough. If you happened to say i dont want to work too hard they would turn you over to the guards the guards would punish you. Many cases they killed you. Reporter the japanese government apologized for miss treatment of pows several years ago. Of the 900 men who labored and suffered with murphy he and one other remain alive.

Investigation of corruption and Money Laundering and one has been extradited and blatter announced he would stand down after 17 years in the top job, four days after being reelected and lee weldings is live in zurich and lee how tense is this meeting likely to be . Well i know this meeting will be very tense as was the meeting on sunday, a premeeting to get together executives and flush out as much as possible so they can just confirm it at the meeting today that is about to finish quite shortly, i spoke to a very important person in this process who will be taking the executives through the reforms that they want to get into place and of course one thing that has so much attention is one of the people driving this through is seemingly blatter who did not use the resignation word in june so the executive committee was getting very tense and wants blatter to go now and think it may be soon for that but talk of him finding a way to hang on through reform and be part of another election thats why the blatter will be going at some point and will set the date december, to elect a new president but it could spill into the new year. What about the likelihood lee from somebody outside of the football for over seeing the reform plans . I think its very credible for a lot of people inside and outside of fifa for someone not tainted by corruption with with all of the people in the executive committee and if they have not been individually guilty of corruption it has tainted them all and names mentioned for fifa and thinking on the lines if somebody would be a figurehead and expect what they are doing, a neutral as it were. What is intriguing me is he does have support in there, we know that increasing support, not necessarily from after an africa and support of federations because i think the ua for president will want certainty when he goes to try and become fifa president and ruling World Football and at that point we will see him declared in his standing. Reporter live in zurich, fifa headquarters and thanks for that.

Reporter he is charged with crimes against humanity in the african african african chambers and hundreds will testify including this man, african judged by africans away from the International Criminal court, at stake here is the possibility to set a precedent, making universal justice acceptable to everyone on this content.

Expected to be behind the attacks and stephanie reports from gaza. Reporter this car belonged to an hamas fighter and the bomb was placed under the fuel tank.

S. I. L. Is trying to destabilize gaza. Any instability in gaza will be seen as weakness of hamas and sometimes provoke israel by launching attacks and anything against israel will cause instability because israelis hold hamas as a responsible party for any missiles or mortar shells coming out of gaza. Reporter Immediate Impact this is having is on the people and a year since israel and palestinian factions fought a 51day war and much of gaza has not been rebuilt and high unemployment and israel maintains the blockade on the strip. After that attacks coming from within. Translator im really afraid what will be next, and now its a car and its a mosque or hospital and you never know.
