United States
in april and may. That is something that in itself caused opposition in japan where people said this shouldnt have happened before the legislation had been debated. There are number of legal experts, some of them who themselves came to the committee saying this was an unconstitutional change. It was a change that was first made last year by the cabinet reinterpreting the constitution to allow for collective selfdefense, coming to the aid of an ally under attack, not just being able to defend japans territory which had been the case up to this point. This legislation will allow to happen in the real world t will allow japanese troops to cooperate with u. S. Troops in asia potentially much further afield. Thats why its causing such travis in japan and why its a high political cost for shinzo abe. And a lot of unhappy people, harry. Why . Reporter this has been one of the postwar settlement.

failed to support the measures. Translator this governments commitment is that we will do everything in our power with the same passion with which we fought this battle abroad for six months now to put this country in order and make the necessary structural reforms.

The focus shifts to a vote in the german parliament. The bailout deal must be ratified there before it can proceed. Greece needs to secure funds by next monday when a 3. 5 billion euro payment is due to the
European Central
bank. Steven keen is head of the school of economics at
Kingston University
in london, but joins us from sydney. The german
Prime Minister
wants to see an early exit. The greek public thinks its a bad idea. What sort of deal are we talking at now . I think thats the first thing that i agreed with. He caused this disaster through imposing order liberalism philosophy on the greek situation and blaming the crisis on a lack of trust and saying these are necessary to restore trust. Frankly, hes right. The only sensible thing is grexit. Since hes talking about it openly and saying his party would agree with that, i think the most sensible thing would be to say okay fund this in the transition to grexit and well get out. If so many people dont believe in the deal and they start pushing for an early exit, you wonder how anything can be implemented. I know. This is the reason why greece didnt go with the grexit in the first place. They were aware of the transition cost of trying to go back to the drocma. I think now seeing whats happened, its been such a catastrophe from both sides especially the contributions of the
European Union
have been disastrous. If they could rewind the clock knowing what was going to come their way they would try to get the hell out of the disaster the euro has become. So what happens now . Where do the banks get the money from . Who gets what now . Well, i mean, the simplest thing to do, if a grexit was organized and they ended up being debt writeoffs, the french and particularly
German Government
would need to bail out their banks which is all thats happening. 7 billion is needed. And thats to make a 3. 5 million payment to the
European Central
bank. The bank is going to lend the money and say pay it back to us. If there was a grexit and the greek and french governments had to bail out their own banks there would be a more direct version. Seems risky. I was going to ask you about that. It seems that the focus is on saving german banks in particular. Its always about german banks. Its been a shadow play. Its obvious greek is bankrupt. Its because of those debts to banks it cant repay. It does havent its own currency and the entire bailout is what is called extend and pretend. Your bank will lend us money to pay you back again. The next loan is going to be less than the next interest payment. The imf admits the debt writeoffs are necessary. Its about time we went back to saying risk your own banks which america has done in a grand style so has england and let greece out of this trap. The only destination for this trap is beyond abject poverty. The terms will make it worse. You are looking at the rise of the situation that gave rise to the horrors of the 1930s. Thank you. Human

Rights Groups
that has written to australias foreign minister asking her to speak out against what they call the most serious human rights crisis that egypt has seen in decades, a brutal crackdown on any form of decent. The al jazeera case is the most high profile example. Still to come on al jazeera monopoly no more. Mexicos oil industry enter as new era. Reporter one man is hoping to bring solar power to afghanistan. This is a great place to work. Not because they have yoga meetings and a juice bar. Because theyre getting comcast business internet.

In yemen three government ministers returned from exile in saudi arabia. There are important gains in the port city. However, its not yet safe enough for the president to return. Japans
Prime Minister
pushed through legislation that could see troops sent abroad for the
First Time Since
world war ii. Demonstrators have gathered outside parliament. There were clashes between police and protesters in athens overnight as the
Greek Parliament
backed more austerity measures. The
Prime Minister
said the combination of tax rises and cuts wouldnt help the economy but they were demanded. A historic opportunity that the
United States
shouldnt pass up, those were president
Barack Obamas
words as he defended the deal with iran, saying it makes his country and the world more secure. This nuclear deal meets the
National Security
interest of the
United States
and our allies. It prevents the most serious threat iran obtaining a nuclear weapon, which would only make the other problems that iran may cause even worse. Its why the alternative, no limits on irans program no inspections, iran thats closer to a nuclear weapon, the risk of
Regional Nuclear
arms race and greater risk of war all that would endanger our security. Now talks of tehran and washington reestablishing diplomatic ties. But reconciliation wont come quickly. Street celebrations in tehran as the u. S. And other countries hammer out a deal with iran on its nuclear program. Does that mean the u. S. Is going to work with the iranian leadership on issues such as isil and the syrian civil war. The
Iranian Foreign
minister seemed to indicate perhaps. It shows that in our globalized world diplomacy has a much better chance of achieving results than coercion and pressure. I hope this will be a lesson for other situations as well. The building behind me is the old
Iranian Embassy
here in washington. Its been closed since 1980. That is when the u. S. And iran broke off diplomatic relations. Now, under the vienna conventions, washington is obligated to maintain the block. The u. S. Long accused iran of stirring up trouble across the middle east. It supports hezbollah and hamas and is accused of sending aid to yemen. There is talk that the u. S. Might 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 correct this situation. To date we have not done that. We have placed our emphasis entirely on the nuclear issue. We have set aside all of these other things. Now its time to pivot and to pivot very rapidly. Removing assad could deprive isil a mutual enemy of iran and the u. S. Of a recruiting tool. Such cooperation runs the risk of increasing tensions between the u. S. And traditional ally, saudi arabia, which views iran 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 regarded by the u. S. As a friend and not as a potential foe. Photos of alleged torture and executions by the
Syrian Government
have been shown to the u. S. Congress. The pictures were smuggled out by a syrian army defector. Reporter these are images of horror that leave little to the imagination, a body scared by scorching, amputation, starvation. They were taken between 2011 and 2013 in two military hospitals on the orders of the
Syrian Government
intelligence service. The unidentified man who claims to have taken the photographs is code name ceasar. Hes a former
Syrian Military
photographer. Last year he appeared before the u. S. Congress after defecting with more than 50,000 images of torture. Although syria dismissed them as forgeries, the fbi and several independent groups are convinced they are authentic. A sample on display by the u. S. Holocaust museum was put on display. A form he detainee, described how he had to walk over dead bodies to be questioned and tortured. It took them five hours of beating me to get tired. He identified two photos that were never involved. A senior republican politician says america lost its moral clarity two years ago by backing off military action in response to the first confirmed reports of
Syrian Chemical Weapons
attacks. That was a moment in time for us as a nation to step forward with an operation that could have greatly changed the momentum. Another condemned the decision to restrict u. S. Aid to
Syrian Opposition
fighters. We are training people and the plans are to train many more, send them into syria to fight only isis and not even vow to protect them against assads bombing. That, my friends is a shameful, shameful policy. It fears it would keep supporting them. It was the same base. We know irans effect. When i talk to my family in damascus they tell me like we have we see from time to time iranian officers or guards at the checkpoint standing there. U. S. Military action and senate is moving to document the war crimes for that one time when the victims may get justice. Former u. S. President george bush has broken a bone in his neck after falling in his home. The 91yearold is in a stable condition in hospital and will have to wear a neck brace.

National Assembly
calling for a new relationship with the u. S. The two countries are set to reestablish diplomatic ties, opening embassies. Castro called for the u. S. Naval base to be returned to cuba, something the u. S. Insists is not on the agenda. Mexicos oil industry has entered a new era of competition with contracts auctioned to
International Companies
for the first time in decades. Its part of a wide ranging
Reform Program
by the president. But the sale fell short of its goal. Only two of the 14 oil fields up for sale were purchased. We have more from mexico city. Reporter for more than 80 years, the
National Oil Company
has been the only player in the oil sector here. That changes now because earlier on wednesday the government opened up 14 exploration blocks for bidding. Its already attracted some attention, but it shows that now we are entering an era of competition along state run monopoly is no longer a monopoly. An oil analyst said this is a game changer. It effectively breaks up the monopoly. Its the first stone in transforming an industry to a market. All throw there hasnt been so much interest in the first round of bidding there will be subsequent rounds of bidding. And that will have the crown jewel for companies to bid on deep water projects. They will attract a lot of attention. Up until now this country has been unable to truly take advantage of reserves in deep waters in the gulf of mexico. Although they benefited for decades by being a monopoly on oil in this country it could find a silver lining. If they can produce more and more, one analyst says it will be better to have part of something assured than a hundred percent of a resource that had been dwindling under their watch. A powered plane attempting to circle the earth has been grounded for nine months. The impulse suffered battery damage during its 118 hour flight from japan to hawaii. It is a major setback. They do intend to complete the journey once repairs are carried out. An engineer in afghanistan is harnessing the power of the sun for different mode of transport. Hes done the

First car. Electricity from the back. Cloudy night, you can use electricity and will charge. Reporter he used what parts he could find at the local market like motorcycle wheels and welds the car together as best he could. This is a basic model. There is no room for storage no air bags and not a lot of maneuverability. Its not the ideal car for kabul traffic. Driving in kabul is chaotic and aggressive. Cars challenge each other to get ahead. He only takes his car on the road on weekends. Armed with the phone number of the head of the
Traffic Police
in case hes stopped. Summer driving brought a new problem. The brake fluid gets too hot and he has his first accident. Despite the difficulties, hes hoping some day to produce the cars here. So far there have been no interested investors. He says he got a
