in egypt at least three people killed and their teen more injured in an explosion on a tour bus in the sinai peninsula, three korean artists and their tourist were killed on the way to the israeli border. the bus killing 32 tourists what traveling from a greek oat orthx monastery a popular destination. when the bomb exploded it's the first attack on tourist in the sinai in eight years, nick schifrin is in jerusalem with the details. nick, what are you hearing so far? >> reporter: yeah, well, morgan as you just said it's been eight years since we have seen this kind of tack. this is being seen as a turning point in the tactics being used by the militant groups inside sinai. this bus was carrying about 33 south korean tourists including

one egypt driver and it was being led by kraft tours, i just spoke to a spokesman for kraft tours, he told me that this bomb was planted underneath the driver's seat. and he believes that monastery that you mentioned, st. katherine's is where the bomb was planted. because the bus spent the night there last night and doesn't stop at all between st. katherine's and the border crossing. now, when this attack occurred, egypt closed its side of the board and israel did. all victims are being treated inside egypt hospitals, no claim of responsibility. but armed groups operating in sinai especially since the military over through hamid morsi. there has been no tourists tagger ned in eight years, these armed groups have been targeting sole years and police instead.

there is a great concern for tourism and in general the militancy in the sinai after today's attack. >> all right. nick schifrin thanks watch for being with us this afternoon. meanwhile, dozens are miners are now trapped in an illegal gold mine in south africa. that mine is located about 18 miles of johannesburg. emergency services say they are speaking to some of the miners stuck by falle fallen boulders,, good afternoon. and thank you for being with us, i understand this happened at an illegal gold mine. how common are these types of mines across south africa? >> reporter: well, morgan it's a growing problem it seems. once companies shutdown these particular mine shafts the illegal miners take it as an opportunity to breakthrough and use these a brandoned shafts to gain the leftover minerals and sharsale the materials on the bk

market. the department of resources has pledged it stop it, but these trappings are becoming more common than you like. >> you say this is a growing problem fox, these types of illegal mines, are there any safety procedures that are already in place to help them? i mean, should accidents like this occur, are they discouraged from seeking help since the entire operation is essentially off the books? >> reporter: well, essentially these are guys that don't have very sophisticated equipment. these are just people that go down in the mines with hand tools and try to scrape away at the leftover materials with these things there are no real regulations or anything like that to prevent these accidents and that's why they occur. >> legal or not, shane, how dangerous is the mine industry generally? >> reporter: well, in terms of our legal mines there are so many regulatio regulations in pt there are the occasional

accidents you but when it comes to illegal mines there is no telling whether the instruction tuesdastructuresare particularle to handle the number of people entering at any different time. >> shane, can you remember anything like this happening in the recent past? >> reporter: i would say about a year ago on the west end of johannesburg there was a similar incidents. some miners were trapped but didn't take as long as this particular rescue operation has been. from today we have seen it's taken eight hours, they have just managed to crack through the entry to the mine shaft and are bringing out some of the miners as we speak. >> we are watching the crowds now gathered to then them out. shane what do you think is next? do you think it will change regulations or perhaps have the authorities follow more closely these illegal minds that are now cropping up? >> reporter: well, it does seem as though this is an incredibly serious problem four department

of mineral resources and as i said they have promise today try to implement some form of regulation or new law to try to prevent these mines from popping up, but unfortunately they haven't been able to detail exactly how they are going to work besides simply sealing the mines but that's unfortunately not enough as they tend to breakthrough the sealed mines anyway. >> but would they seal them? is there or is there not economic incentive for them to go ahead and have the mines open whether or not they are regulated? >> reporter: well, from what i understand, there is quite a long process before a mine is sealed. there is generally not enough minerals leftover for the mine shaft to be profitable. but there is still enough for say people who have access to the black market to make a daily living. >> all right. shane thanks so much for being with us this afternoon. anti-government protests in venezuela took a very violent turn this weekend, police used tear gas and without water cannons against demonstrators

>> reporter: well, that's what the people here are hoping. you join me here at the ship in in cornwall. this is britain's southern most port here. they have been battered by storms for weeks. this is the worst they have seen down here in decades, but even this afternoon the winds are picking up here. this is pirate country, this is smuggler country and for this village much of life is about the sea. for weeks, the sea has pounded the coastline of cornwall, washing away sand dunes and sinking boats. the village is home to britain's most southern port. here they have a healthy respect for the ocean. >> that sea will take you off your feet and wash you away. >> reporter: here the waves got so big they destroyed a car. the driver barely got out in time. it's the roughest weather anyone can remember. >> it's been a stressful couple of weeks, we have had weather since before christmas, last wednesday was a bit extreme. >> reporter: that's when the sea broke some of the two-ton wooden

beams that were supposed to protect the harbor, instead they washed in to the port and helped sink sen are 10 boats and damaged a dozen more. >> that's the first time it's been empty since it was built. i don't know what date it was but it's obviously quite a few hundred years old. >> reporter: this port was started 200 years ago, but didn't open until ale 1825. it took 15 years to build this refuge from the atlanta. even before the latest storms it's been a difficult went fore the fis fishermen here and alone cornish coastline. some haven't been able to fish for nearly two months because of bad weather. it will take a few weeks before the harbor can reopen, even then there is no guarantee the sea will cooperate. and it's sunday afternoon here and, of course, many people are in the pub. but earlier today, much of the village was actually in the harbor with the tide out cleaning up. this has been a big effort not only here but up and down the cornish coast.

they know they are the lucky ones, here in cornwall they have a chance to clean up because it's been the sea and winds. in central southern england in summer set and the thames valley there is still a problem water everywhere where it too be weeks or months before the water goes down, while they are cleaning up here the rest of england has a lot do. >> jennifer glove live from cornwall england, thanks for joining us this afternoon. right here in the states we have our own very wild weather our immediate cross jelela metes here to talk about it. >> meteorologist: we are going to see a break from the snow for a couple of days but another system is on its way. another system going to dump some snow as we track in to tonight and tomorrow morning. across the portionses the midwest again that stop will make its way to the northeast by tuesday, we have some lingering

lake effect snow showers around lake erie, towards buffalo, new york and if you are traveling along the new york stay freeway you may run in to a couple of snow showers that will be relatively light in nature the heaviest of the activity certainly still across maine. you can see the area of low pressure that intensified as it made its way across the atlanta ocean still squeezing just a bit of moisture across portions of i-95 in maine. if you are traveling there today we have a winter storm warning in effect until later on today blowing, drifting snow have been a problem and winds could gust up to 50 miles per hour and aid in diminishing visibility. it's cold. temperatures toronto 12. cleveland 20, in to the 30s from boston to new york city and in the nation's capital. the next system making its way across north dakota, spotty snow showers, later on in the day

14-year-old haiyan survivor. it's all that he has left of his mother. he lost both of his parents and his siblings during the typhoon. i just pray that hopefully they are happy he says, and that they are watching over me. neko is grateful he found relatives to take him in. many others like him haven't. three months after typhoon haiyan and many children are still living inky vac situation centers league this one. almost 6 million children have been affected by the storm. and humanitarian groups have now classified more than 500,000 of them as highly vulnerable. meaning that they've got no guardians left or come from the most severely affected areas where capacity for recovery is poorest. officials fear such children face the danger of not just being exploited, but of being abandoned by caregivers now need to go look for jobs elsewhere.

>> these children could end up in the street. these children might somehow become a liability to the community. >> reporter: a reality that ironically 14-year-old christina escaped thanks to high ran. haiyan she is and four siblings now live in a government care facility after social workers found them in a storm. their parents had abandoned them years before. i am happier now she says because there is someone taking care of my psych lesion, they are going an education now. so far, only a small number of these most vulnerable survivors have been helped. and there is much still to be done. the rain no longer frightens him and he's hopeful about the future, he feels his family is with him always now and one day he says he just might be happy
