record. >> hello. our top stories, houthi fighters have fired artillery shells in the port city of aden. more than 50 dead and 170 injured. the attacks come after aden was declared captured from houthi forces. >> from aden a bit earlier. >> as one rebel fighter, when the houthis sensed defeat they started opening artillery and rockets on residential -- on the residential area. the north of aden is depositionly built and heavily populated, primarily with refugees from other areas of aden who fled during the past two months. so we have confirmed 40 dead and at least children are fatalities. so this area has seen clashes before because it's at the intro point of aden. now, it seems the fighting has intensified in the past 48 hours. >> much of the fighting has now switched to tiaz a key strategic region. natasha gname has this report. >> a fire bought lights up the night sky in tiaz accompanied by the sounds of explosions one after the other. the government says they put out to the an area. tiaz is yemen's third largest province with the government claiming aden is liberated and the houthis still in control of the capital, sanaa. both sides have shifted focus to taking control of the province. fighters on both sides are reported to have been killed. >> we will sacrifice for the sake of tiaz by our swords, by our money and what we want to liberate it from the oppressors who captured our country. >> fighters loyal to the government say the coalition has launched three airstrikes. on the ground they have been able to stop the advance in two districts. in aden the fight isn't over for complete control. several government ministers have returned for the first time since being forced to escape. now, there is talk of rebuilding the battered port city. >> we hope to rebuild the city as it represents the resistens. >> that won't be easy. one government minister says, at least 100,000 people in aden have been displaced since the war began. natasha gname, al jazeera. >> egypt's military said it killed dozens of what it's calling terrorists in the sinai "penguins of madagascar." two stashes of explosives and the military says seven men were killed in the fighting. the number of armed groups have long operated on the "penguins of madagascar." six simultaneous blasts have hit cars in northern gaza injuring two people. vehicles belong to scenario officials from the hamas and jihad group. there have been no claims of responsibility for the attacks but supporters of isil have threatened hamas's leadership in gaza in recent weeks. a senior representative of beirut says while isil has threatened to toppel hamas, it's too early to jump to any con lotions. >> everyone has watched the video released. they don't have any response in isil. it's a very strange situation. everyone knows what you can say and we think it's possible. again, there is a sense against anyone who is part of the situation. against the whole region. so they don't have any situation. we don't want to jump to the conclusions. we have to give our people time to question what was happening and what had happened and then we can talk about it. i can't say that they have a growing influence in gaza. and we were dealing with such situation i see in different situations like what had happened a few years ago. we will not allow any disturb disturbance of the people. i believe it's the responsibility not to hamas. it's the responsibility for the minister interior, the internal forces, security forces so i believe they have to do their work. i support their work according to the law. >> stefanie dekker has this update for us from gaza. >> this is the biggest attack there has been against hamas. the difference this time also leaders of islamic jihad, their cars targeted. it poses a three-fold challenge for hamas. one on a political level. now, two groups being targeted by, again, at the moment unclear which group. they do believe affiliated to the islamic state of iraq in the levant. the politics here on the ground is different groups is very complicated but also when it comes to public opinion and security. hamas, one thing they pride themselves on here in gaza is that they can makeh maintain. security, gaza is under israeli imposed siege. hamas doesn't patrol its borders. they have said they can provide. people on the ground are asking whether they can continue to do so one man we spoke to earlier asked whether it's car bombs. having said that life is back to normal. t four have been arrest police department. investigation is ongoing but hugely challenging for them to try to get these groups under control. >> it's five months since the cease-fire deal was signed between ukraine and russian backed separatists in the east. it's one that's been frequently violated. under the minsk agreement action both sides said they would stop fighting on february 15th. they also agreed to withdrawal all helpful weapons from the front line creating a buffer zone of at least 50 kilometers. fighting continues in the government town of hibulsava. forces are exchanging artillery and tank fire. ukraine says at least 166 of its soldiers have been killed since mid february but there are no figures for separatist casualties. civil yajz are being killed almost every single day with each side blaming each other. charles stratford went to the ukrainian lines with the ukrainian military. >> ukrainian army wouldn't let us film the tanks as they fired from positions above the bridge. one soldier told us, we know it's a violation of the cease-fire agreement, but the separatists do the same. after firing a few more shells toward what the soldiers said was targets near donetsk airport, we managed to film one of five tanks as they drove off in different directions. the ukrainian army say those tanks were firing at separatist mlts a couple of kilometers away. we heard no shelling before the tanks started firing. whatever way you look at it, military hardware of that kind of caliber should not be here according to the minsk agreement. >> according to the cease fire signed in february both sides should have withdrawn their artillery to create a 50 kilometer wide security zone. the separatists were quick to respond. incoming shells could be heard landing close by. a few kilometers away we found this apartment block. one side is completely destroyed. and elderly woman and her disabled grandson lived in this flat. they were killed by a separatist attack the night before. a ukrainian soldier shows me a photo on his phone of the boy's dead body. the blood stains mark the spot where he was found. >> as soldiers we want to protect civilians. yesterday, we could only observe separatist shells were hitting the residential building. we didn't respond because we simple didn't have an order to. >> sergei shows me his apartment. this wasmize sitting room he says. he and his family were out when the attack happened. you can't report the truth this woman said as she walked away but these men told us the civilians are angry because the military used a building as a base next door. the military said it didn't respond to the separatist attack because it wasn't aimed at a military target. as we left we spotted this tank hidden in the under growth only meters away from people's homes. a few days earlier we were? separatistheld territory and heard fighters also inside the zone. civilians continue to die. charles stratford, al jazeera, eastern ukraine. >> the u.s. has launched a diplomatic push to reassure alleys about last week's nuclear deal with iran. the u.s. defense secretary, ash carter, is on his way to israel. he is the latest u.s. official to head there as part of a charm offensive. saudi arabia and jordan are on the list. the business of doing business with iran is also starting with german's economy minister arriving in tehran at the head of a business delegation and spain has similar plans. on friday iran's supreme leader made his first comments about the leader. he said it will not change tehran's attitude toward the u.n. the israeli prime minister said this proved his point. >> if anyone thought the sweeping concessions for iran would bring about a change in its policy they have received a decisive answer over the weekend in the aggressive and provocative speech of iran's ruler. the iranians don't make an effort to hide the fact that they will use the hundreds of billions of dollars that they will receive in this deal to arm their terror machine. they say clearly that they will continue their fight against the united states and its alleys headed by israel. >> there is much more still to come for you onnays this half hour. a small step towards normality in greece as the country prepares to reopitz banks. an australian surfer has a close encounter with a shark off of the coast of south africa plus: >> we meet the people working with technology to save the sounds of the ♪ welcome back here to al jazeera. let's take you through the top stories now. 40 people have been killed and at least 180 injured in shelling on yemen's port city of aden. he script's military says it killed dozens of what it's calling terrorists in sinai "penguins of madagascar." 59 people were killed. two vehicles destroyed. hamas officials targetnated coordinated bomb attacks in gaza. let's get more analysis. a little bit more analysis on our top story with a visiting fellow with the middle eastern north africa foreign relations. good to have you with us. this houthi attack in the southern port city of aden what does in a tell us about the presence of houthi fighters? >> they are mean to go send a strong message. a few days ago, you had this very significant push by saudi-backed forces that achieved a major victory in aden. yesterday, you had the return of a number of ministers to the city. yesterday and the day before. and with the houthis remainare meaning to say is we are here. we have the power to fight back. obviously, they have done so by killing a number of civilians which isn't going to do anything to endear the people of aden who generally were pretty happen that they were defeated recently. but in the larger picture, they are saying that, you know they will not go down without a fight effectively in the city of aden. >> regaining full control of aden was a big part of the rationale behind saudi military action in yemen. roughly how divided is the city between the houthis and saudi-backed fighters? >> i think you have seen a decent amount of progress from the sawedudi-back fighters. i would say they are on their way to comen consolidating control of the city. obviously that's not the case over the rest of yemen. sanaa is under control of the houthis and their alleys. tiaz is a battleground between the houthis and their opponents. so really, you are seeing aden right now is the city where the saudi-backed forces really want to have their first key success which i think is why the houthis are sort of launching this counterattack. >>,000 the current divisions we see, are they likely to prevent any? >> i think it's hard to tell. obviously in the south you have had a long-standing secessionist movement. they have been very local vocal for a long time. when you saw the victory sell bralingz in aden, they were flying the southern flagindeed you had a statement come out just a few hours ago from one of the most prominent southern secessionist bodies say that they have rejected the presence of members of the exiled government on the ground in aden. >> a strong statement. given where the priorities of the saudi-backed fighters lie in the south, what is the likely then that they would take the fight beyond the south into other areas that the exiled government wants to recapture from the houthis? >> what you have seen is malissuefication. so, the fighters that arefieding in the south, fighting to defend homes in the south. a similar thing in tiaz and in madiv. while some a small number in the south might be willing to fight elsewhere, most of them action, once they get the houthis out, they want to rebuild aden and let it be back to normal. to some extent it does not necessarily mean a continuing push. it could stop at the borders that separated them before 1990. >> thank you. now, banks in grease are set to reopen on monday after being closed for three weeks. they were shot down to prevent a run on the banks after a second bail-out program expired in june more flexible withdraw limits will allow a maximum of 420 euros. that is $454 a week replacing the currents limit of euros that is equal to about $64 a day. other restrictions. for the latest mohammed jamjoon from athens. mohammed, after nearly three weeks can people there must be very eager for some sense of normalcy for these banks to reopen. there is a sense of relief the banks will be re-opened finally. this is signed by the governmentnent greek citizens to have normalcy back in their lives. they are trying to reassure people that they are going to get the economy back on track. there is a sense of anxiety here primarily prime minister tsipras are wanting citizenship to deposit in the banks, not withdraw money. that's why limits will be imposed even though they are more flexible as you said. this is going to come as a sense of relief for a country that has been so exhausted by this debt deal drama. they say they are glad this has come to an end, although there is one thing that's causing some tension here tonight. greek media has reported the vat will go up tomorrow from 13% currently to 23%, and the taxes, more taxes, perhaps an increase of as much as 10 percent will be imposed on things such as taxi rides and bus rides. that's something. that's an austerity measure that's going to be unpopular. already, it's unpopular here causing concern now for greek citizens. >> i think it sundayscores the challenges that lie ahead. it's one thing to agree to the terms with bail-out money. it's different to put it into practice. absolutely. you have seen this drama really play out against the backdrop of the political spectrum here because you saw this cabinet reshuffle that happened over the weekend in which 9 ministers replaced, especially those who voted against the austerity measures, the debt deal reached with the eurozone. you have seen real fissures that have occurred in the party of prime minister tsipras. that's one of the reasons he replaced those rebel members of his own party. he said publithis past week that in order to govern effectively and e firnlt he needs to make sure the people he is trusting to implement these measures be on his side and work as hard as they can to make sure the greek's economy gets back on track. >> that's a tough job especially at a time when you have had the prime minister say on many occasions he doesn't belief in the measures that he has asked society and the parliament to adopt. it goes to show how complicated the situation is how confusing the situation is for greeks and yet, even with all of that yesterday, there was a poll in which it said 73% of respondents in greece said they were glad they will remain in the eurozone. >> thank you very much good to gets the latest there from the greek capital, athens. talks aimed at ending the stalemate have been adjourned after the government sides did not turn up. this is according to the ugandan foreign minister mediating the process. time is running out
