top-level talks, their first in nearly a year in efforts to end tension. unlikely heroes, three american men are hailed for overpowering a gunman on a train in northern france. >> in macedon in a police have again used stun grenades on thousands of refugees. the police have been blocking them from crossing over in a second day. some have pushed their way past the barricades and managed to get into macedonia. many of the people have escaped the war in syria. we go live now to the greek side of the border. our correspondent there is jonah hull. it is early evening now. what will happen at nightfall? >> well, some kind of calm, martine, has returned to this place after what were fairly dramatic, side events over the last couple of hours here at the end of the train tracks. you can see a crowd still gathered there on the greek side. they're still up against the barbed war against the macedonia police, as they have been over the last 48 hours. but earlier a much larger crowd broke away from that position and ran off as you were seeing in the pictures, crossing the fields into macedonia. men, women, children, some extremely young children making their way past armed units of the macedonia police positioned along this invisible borderline. a large number of them did get across. there is talk of of 2,000, but we certainly don't know. several hundred, certainly. what we don't know what will happen on the other side, they're now undocumented illegal migrants into the country. and on this side, as i say, the crowd waiting for the border to open. as i look down the train tracks now even more people are coming, and they will keep coming. there is a ferry from the greek islands with more on it, and this situation is only going to get worse. we put together a picture of the report of events, but here's one that i filed an i will earlier. >> until thursday this was an open border. railway tracks leading from greece to macedonia through serbia, the e.u. and germany beyond. now it is a border drawn by razor war and armed macedonia special police with the army in support. they're here to confront not rioters but refugees, many of them fleeing syria's civil war. like ahmad and thinks family from idlib. >> i'm not tou terrorist. we're humans. where is the humanity. where is the world to see us. look at everyone here. they are families. we don't need anything just to cross. i want to cross to germany. >> among the refugees are a number who have been sent back from macedonia alleging harsh treatment by the local police there. >> you say that the police in macedonia were hitting you? >> this is the police. >> this is the police in macedonia? >> it's all yet another sign of the european union's complete inability to deal with this vast movement of people. instead of proper aid and care, there are private donations of water, and fast food vendors profiting for their most basic needs. pounding the misery it's beginning to rain. i spoke with aid agencies with a skeleton staff. they have no idea where more formal arrangements will be made for these people. that means on the greek leadership and macedonia government, if the border does not open soon there is every chance that these people will leave here and find another way to cross here. >> many are huddled together on muddy ground with nowhere else to go. >> all right, now let's talk to the head of international amnesty in greece, and thank you for talking to us. your organization has been particularly critical of the way the macedonian authorities are handling this situation. >> hello, yes, indeed. what we're hearing is very concerning. we hear about people being treated as rioters when they are refugees. the macedonians must be able to make that distinction. just a while ago i was talking with a syrian refugee a woman, also pregnant, the moment she haheard from a distance, she was 35, and she's ready to have a child. that's not the way to treat refugees. these are people who are entitled to international protection, and they're not getting it and it is appalling. >> the authorities say that they're a country of 2 million people with no resources. they say they're not a member state of the european union, which is a fact, isn't it, which means that they're not able to access the funds of the european union that might exist to handle this wave of refugees? >> well, i mean, there is no excuse, even money is not the excuse for ill treatment of these people. we hear cases of violent push backs, that's in violation of international law. when it comes to resources, it's obvious that they can look for international assistance. and there has to be a solution, but you know, from the greek and turkish borders be all the way up to the european union. what we're see something simply-- >> there is responsibility, isn't there, the greek authorities also need to take some of this responsibility because where so many of people are now, in fact, where you're standing you're on greek soil. >> yes, obviously. that's what i'm trying to say. a concerted effort in order to deal with this issue. everybody agrees it's a important one, a serious one. and all the parties including national government, the authorities, they come together to start taking these people as refugees who have right to seek protection. they're very vulnerable people. little children, we have pregnant women. there has to be some more coordinated effort to help them first. >> in the immediate sense what should happen now? >> well, at the border we're standing i think that they have a right to seek asylum, to apply for asylum. this is paramount. people should be given any sort of human assistance. we keep seeing children falling ill and completely exhausted from their journey that they have to do. and yes, i mean, we have to look also like the whole thing of where these people come from, border to border. we all agree here that this is fought going to stop soon, and therefore we have to find more long term solution as well. >> okay, thank you very much, indeed. >> thank you. >> now, the thousands of refugees are trapped there between greece and macedonia, a rescue effort is currently on the way off the coast of libya to rescue others. at least 18 vessels carrying around 3,000 people have been cited in the waters off the coast of libya. several hundred people have died this year alone trying to make this perilous journeys across the mediterranean sea to europe. we have this update in southern italy. >> as many as 3,000 refugees traveling on at least 18 separate cressels are being rescued up the coast of libya on saturday. they're traveling on 14 rubber dinghies and four actual shapes. they set out a distress signal picked up by the italian coast guard that has sent out a number of rescue boats at sea. this is not the first time that we've seen so many boats. this is certainly a tactic by smugglers who wait for good conditions before they send out as many boats as they can, sometimes with deadly consequences. the coast guard told al jazeera that these are optimal weather conditions for such an operation, but it is still very dangerous. many migrants die or risk their lives. just as they see rescuers approach. many refugees have died when they all move to the same side of the boat to take a look, call out to help or send out rescue signals, the boat will then capsize, and we've seen this many times before. this particular operation is going well. and it will be performed. >> to afghanistan now where there has been an explosion in the capital of kabul. 12 people have been killed in what appears to have been a powerful blast. many are saying a number of foreign contractors are among the dead. it happened close to the main road to the airport not far from the u.s. embassy. let's get to the latest from jennifer glasse, who is there in kabul. this was a very powerful blast in an area that one would imagine is very heavily defended. >> well, of course, kabul has been under high alert for the last couple of weeks since attacks killed more than 50 people and wounded more than 200. the city has been on high alert, and today the car bomb going off in a residential district not far from the american embassy. not far from the airport road inside the ring of steel that the police have check points, they look and watch vehicles, the target of that car bomb apparently the convoy carrying those civilian contractors working for nato, three of those civilian contractors are killed. nine afghan civilians including one woman said that more than 100 people have gone to hospitals all over the capital injured from that blast. and as i said of begans are very concerned about the security situation here. very concerned that it is deteriorating and this blast has been in a very crowded residential area not far--just outside a hospital not far from a school, and not far from a main market. so yet another difficult situation here in afghanistan just in the last few minutes we got a text message from the taliban spokesman who denies responsibility saying that the taliban had nothing to do with this, and they have no further information. >> is that unusual? because this has all the characteristics of an attack that most often is claimed by the taliban. >> well, that's true. often when there are civilians killed, the taliban fail to claim responsibility or simply don't say anything about it at all. right now we're not sure who is speaking for whom inside the taliban. we learn that the leader omar was dead. replaced by moulah monsour but taliban leaders say that they do not pledge allegiance to mullah mansour. so we don't know who is speaking for whom, the taliban seems quite divided right now, and it does not help afghans, who are very nervous about the situation in the city that the police can't seem to stop these car bombs. >> live in kabul. thank you. >> 14 somali army recruits have been killed in a car bomb attack. it happened in a military training center, eyewitnesses speak of the explosion being followed by gunfire. two attackers were killed and two others were arrested. the armed group al-shabab has claimed responsibility. senior officials from north and south korea are meeting to resolve their latest tensions. the two countries have been locked in a war of wars since exchanging fire on thursday. harry fawcett sends us the latest from the capital of seoul. >> so unprecedented are the talks between north and south korea. in 2013 one set of talks lasted 167 hours. in 2014 there was a 13-hour session of talks. obviously there is a good deal to talk about given how heightened the tensions between these two sides are have been in recent days, the kind of rhetoric that we've seen up until this point has north korea calling the south war maniacs, talking about the puppet regime, the north korean state media report about these talks and called the south by their report name, the republic of south korea. there are senior players in these discussions, the most senior political members second only to kim jong-un in terms of military majority. they have close links to represent of it leaders of these countries as well as the heads of the two countries dealing with korean talks on both sides of the border. both sides have extremely opposed positions. south career will continue it's loud speaker broadcasts until and unless north korea admits responsibility for land mine blasts. north korea said that those loud speakers must end broadcasting and be dismantled. they have been threatening to blow them up. finding resolutions to those two positions so opposed will be difficult. >> there is still more to come on al jazeera, including the cuban doctors left out in the cold after thawing of relations between havana and washington. next, a jet at an airshow crashes in southern england. we'll have the details. ' hear of more from the world athletic championships. >> the gunman who was overpowered by passengers on a high speed train t from amsterdam was known to them. two people were injured, but passengers prevented what could have been a much more serious attack. we have reports from paris. >> tied up and subdued, mobile phone footage shows the gunman who tried to cause darnage on a french high speed train. the man had been confronted first by a french passenger and then overpowered by a pair of american travelers including off duty military personnel. it prevented a potential massacre. the man was armed with an ak-47 rifle, nine rounds of ammuniti ammunition. >> spencer ran a good ten meters to get to the guy. we didn't know that his gun wasn't working or anything like that. spencer just ran any way. if anybody would have gotten shot it would have been spencer for sure. we're lucky that nobody got killed, especially spencer. >> their spend spencer stone was injured with cuts to his neck and hand, but his condition in hospital is not serious. >> i came to see my friends on my first trip to europe. we stopped a terrorist. it's kind of crazy. >> the gunman's identity has not been formerly confirmed, but he's believed to be a 26-year-old moroccan man. he had effectively been put on a watch list. he was part of a radical he's almostist movement. >> together with the prime minister and the president, i want to express our gratitude and admiration for the two american passenger who is were especially courageous. >> because the gunmen boarded the plane in brussels, belgium authorities have commenced a terrorism investigation into the circumstances of the attempted attack. the effectiveness of the intelligence services is under scrutiny but also the security of europe's rail network. high speed rail passengers traveling between france and england must go through stringent security, the reason being the channel tunnel, the 50 kilometers stretch underneath the english channel. plus, across the rest of the french network, including trains that pass through belgium, amsterdam and the netherlands there are no such security provisions. there is a memo to regional levels to raise the level of alert around the transport network. in the meantime, bravely medals have been awarded to the american and french passengers who over powered the man and french president françois hollande has invited them to the presidential palace in paris. paul brennan, al jazeera, paris. >> a plane has crashed at an airshow in suffolk in southern england. he was carrying out an aerial loop when he crashed on a nearby road. a large fireball and smoke could be seen from the crash scene. isil fighters have killed 53 iraqi soldiers and their allies. they were ambushed in ramadi, the capital of iraq's largest province in anbar. they tried to recapture the city after it fell to the armed group three months ago. and the u.s. said that isil's second in command has been killed in an airstrike. al hayali was killed as traveled in a car on tuesday. we have more from baghdad. >> his position in ill's chain of command was confirmed by the white house, which released this statement. al hayali was an isil council member and as senior deputy to isil leader abu backer al baghdadi was a coordinator for moving weapons and explosives vehicles and people between iraq and syria. his death will adversely impact ill's operations given that his influence spanned ill's finance, media, operations and logistics. >> he traveled in a vehicle with another isil operative, who also died. this is not the first time that the u.s. claimed to have killed hayali. he was claimed to be killed in an attack in 2014 as well. a former officer under saddam hussein, hayali played a role in the capture of mosul. while his death is undoubtedly a blow for isil, the group seems to be prepared for such eventuallities. >> isil is a secret organization, but the group's power is not centralized. many of its leaders were members of al-qaeda and iraq, which have a former command structure. it proved to be a weakness, and isil's leaders seem to have learned from that experience. they are believed to have created a system that gives leaders flexibility so that overall operations are not effected if a top official is killed. on the ground the coalition and it's local partners have few successes to claim. it has been over a year and isil remains entrenched in mosul, where it controls all aspects of life. there are those that despite al hayali's death, the u.s. has no long-term strategy to defeat isil. >> who is on the ground. who has the solution being that all the players are on the same page. >> in iraq militias are leading the fight in mainly sunni arab areas. and opposition from baghdad to the arming of sunnies has increased sectarian tensions. the lack of reconciliation allowed isil to capture another provincial capital in may. a counter offensive to retake ramadi and much of the anbar province has made little progress. this may an short set backer the group, but defeating isil will require a political solution to conflicts to both iraq and syria, where isil controls significant territory. al jazeera, baghdad. >> well, the military said that al hayali should not be described as second in command of isil but rather as a big player. >> he's former iraqi military. that's critical. these guys were the guys when we went in, we said you're in a baathist party, you can't be part of the new government, and we pushed him aside. what has he done in ten years? in ten years he has had to feed his family and this is a very mass could you lan war where he is. he's a valuable, so isil picks him up. the new government won't pick him up because's baathist, now this he becomes a strong leader. seems he was a strong leader in mosul in logistics from mosul . i was a big guy. the battle goes on. it's not something to be celebrated if i was a colonel he would go back to my troops and say we got a good buy guy. we got more to go. i worse i could do is say we got the number two guy and our guys were let down. >> at least 20 people have been killed in shelling by syrian government forces in douma. they say the air attacks began on saturday morning in the rebel-held town east of the capital of damascus. 200 others are said to be wounded or still trapped under republic. republic--rubble. egyptian state media said that members of the muslim brotherhood have been sentenced t have conviction of crimes. they have already been sentenced to death in a straight trial. 16 others were also sentenced to life in prison. the international aid group doctors without borders are calling to stop fighting in yemen. taiz has become the focus of fighting in recent weeks as anti-houthi fighters try to retake it. this was the aftermath of sporadic shelling on friday that left 23 people dead, including children. well, the fighting in yemen has destroyed and damaged many cultural sites and artifacts, now the u.n. cultural agency unesco has come up with a plan to try to preserve yemen's cultural heritage. >> burnt brick buildings with geometric patterns. this is one of the reasons why unesco has designated this a world heritage site. and this wasteland, now calling for emergency measures to save yemen's cultural heritage. >> the army came in to destroy it. our hearts are in pain. it is islam. it is dignity. >> since the war in yemen began in march, bombing and shelling have destroyed a complex of houses and damaged this 12th century mosque. fighting has reached ancient sites across the country. the castle in taiz is damaged. >> they don't want yemen to live. our heritage that the world knows of is gone. >> you necessary coast once described the old city of sanaa a jewel. now it is asking the world to preserve what is left of it and other cultural sites. but many say that the only way to guarantee that is for the war in yemen to end. al jazeera. >> still to come here on al jazeera, find out about a new study that suggests a mastectomy hay may not help stop breast cancer from spreading. find out why an island of

investigates 10 years after katrina. >> hello let's have a look at the stories on al jazeera. in macedonia the police have used stun grenades and thousands of refugees trapped on the border of greece. some have managed to push across the barricade and push in to macedonia. in kabul, 12 people killed and others injured in an explosion. three among the dead are foreign contractors. senior officials from north and south korea are meeting to resolve their latest dispute. the two countries have been locked into a war of words since trading fire on thursday. the venezuela president nikola madura, three soldiers were shot during an anti-smuggling operation. president maduro has colored two of the border crossings and sent soldiers to the area. and cuban doctors are protesting in the colombian capital of bogota over their visas status. they fled venezuela where the cuban government has sent them to provide medical assistance. they hoped by reaching colombia that they would reach the u.s. through a state department program. we go live to the colombiaen capital of bogota. this is a complex story, take us through it. >> yes, behind me you should be able to see some of these cuban medical professionals gathering here in bogota. essentially to process, as you were saying, their visa status. they entered the country illegally hoping to be able to get a visa through the initiative that was signed under the busch administration i in 2006. it's called the cuban medical professional parole program. what happened to this program, the doctors who are working for the cuban government in third countries can then move to another country that is friendly with the u.s. and apply for this visa. this is what a lot of their colleagues, thousands of them, have been able to do quietly in past years. and so these people have moved here up to seven months ago hoping to do the same. they come here with meager savings because they think that their case will be solved within 30 to 90 days, but that has not been the case. that's what we're seeing here. they're in limbo in bogota, and they're hoping to move forward. if the u.s. does not respond to their request, they could be deported by the colombian government back to venezuela or to cuba. >> so it sounds very much as though this group of doctors has been called out. they've been caught up by changing events on the world's stage of course cuba and the united states have formed, re-established diplomatic relations and generally getting along a lot better these days. >> yes, this is what they believe is happening to them. they're saying as renewed diplomatic dies were moving forward. that's when they start seeing their visas denied, or they saw them being kept in this limbo without response now. on thursday, though, the u.s. department spokesperson joh john kerry said that there is no connection to what is happening to these people and renewed ties between the island and the u.s. so this is still a question that needs to be answered. there is no doubt for these people that they're being caught in this change of environment. what they're asking for since they are here, though, is for the u.s. to grand them this visa. at the same point on thursday the state department said that this program will, indeed, continue, and we know that at least another six doctors have arrived in just the past few days. so this situation will only get worse. >> thank you for explaining that, and we'll get back to you to find out how these cuban doctors get on. thanks. now guatemala's former vice president has been detained over alleged links to corruption scandal. greeted by protesters who were demanding her impeachment. she was taken to a military prison. arrested earlier in the day while in hospital. she's implicated in the customs kickback scheme which led to her resignation in may. allegations say that president perez is also involved. america's largest economy is in economy. this combined with a series of

they then finally hope to have a baby. all social classes across brazil are feeling the pinch, and much of the blame is on the president. >> we have a lot of problems with the areas--when i was 13 years old, i believed in the future. but now wit there is no future here. >> president dilma rousseff started a campaign to rain back her people. but with so much disenchantment hers is a struggle in

their value. now breast cancer kills more than half a million women worldwide every year. if caught early many women make the rather difficult decision to remove one or both of their breasts, but now a new u.s. study suggests that this may not do much to stop the disease from spreading. >> as more women are screened for breast cancer, more are being diagnosed with ductitl carcinoma, a precursor to deadly tumors. treatment usually involve removing part or all of the breast and in some cases both breasts, but new studies suggest that getting a mastectomy does very little in the outcome of treatments. >> those who had mastectomy did just as well as those who had other treatments. >> researchers found that patients treated for stage zero breast cancer had just about the same likelihood of dying from the disease as the general population. that's raising the question are tens of thousands of women being unnecessarily treated? deb had a mastectomy after being diagnosed. she now counsels others going through the process. >> it will make people stop and think a little bit more. they may ask their doctor more questions. they may feel that they don't need to rush into something, that there is time to think. >> that's not a bad thing. >> but o oncologist marlene meyer said that more studies are needed. >> this is just another piece of information that makes us consider does this person really need radiation? do they need surgery? >> and the study showed some patients do have higher risks, black women and women under 40, experts say as always, the best thing to do is to consult your doctor. kristen saloomey. new york. >> two women who mate military history, the first female soldiers to graduate from the elite army training school. but they're unlikely to join the front line any time soon as gabriel elizondo explains from new york, the u.s. is still debating the role of women in combat. ♪ and the rocket's red glare >> a graduation ceremony of the army's elite ranger division. but this one is unlike any other. 65 years of rangers, for the first time female graduates. it's a key moment in history when it comes to the delicate question of integrating women into combat roles. but while the two women can say that they're some of america's best trained soldiers they won't be in combat at least not yet. while women are allowed in 95% of military occupations, including fighter pilots, historically it was believed that women did not have the same physical strength as men in order to fight on the front lines. but that could change after the two women competed the grueling six-week combat course considered one of the most rigorous training the u.s. military conducts. in 2013 the pentagon announced that they would review the ban on women in combat and the position today is clear. >> the department's policy is that all ground combat positions will be open to women unless rigorous analysis of factual data shows that the positions must remain closed. >> that review is happening right now by all the military branches, the army, air force, navy and marine corps. it is expected they'll give their recommendations to the u.s. secretary of defense next m and a final decision is expected later this year on which if any combat roles will be open to women. the decision is expected to have wide-ranging implications. there are 1.3 million people serving in the u.s. armed forces. of those 202,000 or 15% of the total are women. today, 17 countries allow women in front-line combat roles including france, germany, canada and israel among others. now the united states might not be far behind. gabriel he will stan do, al jazeera, new york. >> hotel operators on kenya's coast say that tourism, kenya's second largest earner, is suffering

the unemployed who worry the governor most. >> it gives me sleepless nights when i think of the young people who are unemployed, when i imagine families who are not able to put food on their tables. >> there was good news for kenya's ailing tourism recently when britain, the source of more than half of the country's tourists, lifted travel advise recovering most of the coastal region. this has

the world's second most popular city is coping with its chaotic traffic. >> terrible is how most people would describe traffic in new delhi, especially along the bus rapid transit corridor, or brt. it was supposed to make traffic smoother, but those traveling along at 5.8 kilometer route every day say that it's anything but. >> i've been stuck here for more than two hours. >> after some distance the brt suddenly ends creating traffic jams on adjoining roads. the corridor has dedicated lanes for different types of vehicles, but those are blatantly ignored forcing pedestrians off the sidewalks. one of the main ideas behind the brt was to encourage public transit, but those who rely on it complain of problems just getting to bus stops located in the middle of the road. >> coming from the foot path to the bus stop, the cars are moving so fast that it's very difficult to cross. if there was a bridge going over traffic then it would be very easy. >> but nothing seems to be easy for anyone on the brt, which is why it's now being scrapped. even crossing the street is something of an obstacle whether at designated crosswalks or like most people here wherever they can manage. locals say that it's just another block, but ever since the brt opened there have been complaints, with everyone complaining it begs the question what went wrong? >> urban planners agree that the concept is a good idea, but the problem with this one is that it did not go far enough. >> if i have a system throughout the city, i might think of using it. but if i have to switch to some other line, it is difficult. >> some critics also blame cultural differences saying that trying to regulate traffic where everything from trucks share the road was doomed to fail. but scrapping the brt, the government said has plans for a new one. commuters say that they're willing to try anything if it means a smoother, quicker commute. al jazeera, new delhi. >> it's a busy sports day. here is andy with the news. >> it
