and pope francis moves his visit to bolivia. breaking news first. the israeli government says two of its citizens are being held in the gaza strip at least one of them is being held by hamas as we understand it. his name is abraham mamgist open isto. second man is believed to be an israeli palestinian. imtiaz he tyab tyab is in gaza, what has been the response to these allegations? >> we reached out to the spokesman that an israeli has been held in their custody and has been for ten months now. he said that he had no comments and refused to elaborate on that news that is coming out of israel. whatever the case, what's interesting is the timing of all this just yesterday when of course we were marking the start of the israel's 50 day bombardment of the gaza strip. coded statement from senior fighters with hamas and be other various factions here that they said that they would not engage in any negotiations with israel, when it came to what they described as missing soldiers, unless soldiers that israel has arrested in part of the deal with the last israeli soldier who was held here were released. at the time we were assuming that what they meant by that the remains of the soldiers that were killed during that 50 day conflict in gaza that israel is believed to be holding. now we're hearing that an israeli citizen may also be held that changes things significantly. >> imtiaz tyab from gaza city. we also have the other view online with paul brennan who is in west jerusalem. paul, how did both men go missing? >> reporter: well, there is some mystery about the exact circumstance of this not only because of the official gagging order lifted on thursday by jerusalem. according to early reports it appears that the ethiopiaian that the ethiopian israeli arrived on a beach left behind his bag and then crossed into gaza through a hole in the border fence which appears to be left by the aftermath of the israeli tanks that went in during the war but just finished two weeks earlier. it's an israeli town down there very close to gaza not far away at all. but his motivation for apparently doing that is very unclear. it is important though to draw the distinction between what appears to have happened with mangisto and the case from 2006 where he was abducted and taken into gaza and head prisoner. this appears to be a very different sort of circumstance. the second person that the israelis believe to be in the hands of hamas is a bedoin and the exact circumstances of that are very unclear indeed. we are waiting for further details before we can say anything with any clarity. >> paul we know that the israelis have lifted the gag order, as you were mentioning, the gag order on reporting on manguisto's disappearance. what are they likely to do now with both men missing? >> clearly there's going to have to be questions answered. the fact that manguisto is an israeli is a particular consequence. i am in the car heading to the area right now. israelisisraelis palestinians are claiming they are treated as second class citizens here in israel because of his ethiopian heritage, so there is going to have to be i think a real exercise going on with the israeli government to try counter that kind of accusation and then of course there is the question marks as to exactly why he went, where he is now and when the exact circumstance of his disappearance to attempt to have him return to israel will be. >> paul, thank you for that update. paul brennan speaking to us from west jerusalem. we will be all over this story and we will bring you more details on the disappearance of these two israeli men. one of them being held by hamas. we will bring you the details of the story as we get it. meanwhile let's move to other stories. the number of syrian refugees has exceeded 4 million making it the largest humanitarian crisis in 25 years. most have fled to neighboring countries. turkey hosting 1.8 million lebanon 1.2 million 250,000 find

half years later he has finally adjusted to life as a refugee but had this reaction when we told him the number of refugees in the region had reached 4 million. >> this is a disaster. this means the entire population will eventually be displaced. it makes me think that the conflict will run on for years and moving back is not possible. >> before deciding to survive on his home he returned to the camp two months ago. >> i left the camp because my children couldn't survive the scorching heat of the summer in a tent. refugees have to pay for a lot of services outside the camp so i was forced to return here. >> when asked what they want from the international community many of the refugees say they want an end to the carnage in syria. the worst recent disaster in history. 4 million forced to leave for neighboring countries like jordan and according to aid agencies there is no time known when they can return home. the crisis is so big that donors are thinking of how funding can be sustained as the conflict continues. >> already this year people have less access to services. there are already organization he that have to pull back from the situation. pushing them to return to syria and when you have families telling you i'm going back because i can't earn a living here and that they would prefer to live in a war zone you know just how desperate they are. >> the u.n. refugee agency says, they are engaging in degrading or illegal work. many say this is a sign of how desperate people have begun. nuclear program is within reach, sergey lavrov is on his way to vienna. they are trying to finalize a deal by friday morning so that it's ready to be presented to the u.s. congress. let's get more on this with our diplomatic editor in vienna. james what are you hearing as the deadline looms? >> well, you remember on tuesday when foreign ministers were last here, they couldn't get a deal and they left their experts and negotiators to do more drafting. now i think we have a little bit more of an optimistic moot in the last couple of hours. let me tell you why. that's because many of the foreign ministers are back here and things only edge forward when the foreign ministers are here. the p-5 plus one only internal meeting started a short time ago. but there are other signs that i think are potentially encouraging signs that a deal may be close. one of those is that the u.s. negotiating team had a video conference call with president obama to outline where they were this deal. now can you draw what you want from that but i think it's worth me telling you that when they had the interim deal in lausanne one of the things that happened before the interim deal was a conference call from president obama. that's interesting to note. and some of the side conversations, president rouhani, set he was optimistic there would be an end to sanctions soon. and technical negotiators they have been meeting ali akbar salehi, he said maybe today was the last day. and the comments of the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov he says he can see a deal within reach. and the next thing to watch would be sergey lavrov's movement. he said, when he thought they were close to a deal, he would come back to vienna. and when the other russian counterpart leaves from russia that's whether you may feel there will be a deal. >> james bays, in vienna. on a dairy
