>> good afternoon and welcome to aljazeera america, i'm morgan radford in new york city. men who illegally entered a south african gold mine face prosecution. >> . >> in venezuela, three dead as presidential supporters clash with anti-government protesters.

talk about star power, as time for the british version of the oscars, the bafta awards are here. 121 illegal miners have been taken out of a mine near johannesburg, south africa. they're all in police custody, accused of mining illegally. they don't believe their men stuck below. and we have the very latest. >> desperately trying to save lives, these rescue workers are trying to recover dozens of illegal workers trapped in an abandoned mine shaft and are believed to have been stuck underground since friday morning. >> it's supposed to be a closed shaft complex. preventing people from entering. but they somehow managed to open up the old inside, and i think we're able to talk to the people

that are trapped inside of there, and we are enlarging the hole so that we can lead them out of the shaft. industrial operations ended several years ago in the mine, 30 kilometers east of johannesburg. they entered to try to find any remaining pieces of precious metal left behind, including gold. >> the illegal miners came to find these abandoned shafts, and found their way through, and they will start taking the minerals slowly but surely. a slow process, they use hand tools, and not very sophisticated equipment, to take these minerals out and sell them on the black market. >> mining is one of south africa's biggest industries. and there are several mines around johannesburg much. >> one of the spokesman in the

province said that the illegal mining is common in the area, and some of the workers were refusing to come out, for fear of being arrested. >> an egyptian bus was bombed. it was traveling to sinai. right now, nick schifrin is in the news room live, and what are you hearing so far? >> i think, morgan, the fear is that the egyptian officials are saying this seems to be a shift in strategy for all of the groups operating in the sinai, and they fear this is the beginning of more attacks on tourists visiting from egypt. the bus was full of 34 people, south korea tourists, an egyptian bus driver. a huge bomb gutted that bus as it was approaching the border crossing. i spoke to the tour company based in cairo that organized

this trip. and he told me that the bomb was placed in fact the driver's seat inside of the bus. he said that the bomb was likely placed inside of the bus last night. last night, the bus was parked outside of st. katherine's monastery. it's a very popular tourist destination in central sinai and he spent the night. and he said the reason it was placed there is that the bus didn't stop there between the monastery and the israeli border crossing this afternoon. when the attack took place, the border was closed on both sides, and the victims are being treat this afternoon. there has been no claim of responsibility. but for seven, eight months, a lot of groups in the sinai have been operating, but until now, the attacks were on the soldiers and the police and the security officials. this is the first attack on tourists in eight months, and that's why the egyptian

officials believe it's a shift in strategy and change in tactics for the groups who may attack softer and more vulnerable target. >> though there's no claim so far, a large chunk of egypt's economy rise on it. so how is this going to affect the tourism industry as a whole? >> i was asking the additional from kraft tours, and he said for the last year, it has been down, and he fears that the business will completely dry up after the attacks. many from the us and the uk have warned against traveling to the sinai. and these groups have been having trouble for the last year. and the fear is that they will increase the attacks on the egyptian security targets, but also these softer and more

vulnerable targets, and economic targets, and tourists, and it will really dry up the economy of the sinai, and it's a huge concern for all egyptian officials and aljazeera officials as well. >> thank you for joining us this afternoon. >> . >> meanwhile a trial for deposed egyptian president, mohamed morsi, has been adjourned in cairo. he and others have been charged with espionage and carrying out terror attacks. he withdrew in the protests of the glass cages that they were being held inic claiming that they would not be able to hear the talks inside. no date has been set for the second round wrapping up on friday with no resolution in sight. this leaves millions of syrian refugees in limbo, struggling for their lives. it the conditions on the syrian

border. >> reporter: this is how some of the people are having to live here, this is an open tent. and it's winter and it gets incredibly cold at night. a lot of people have come here with clothes, and the weather is not right for that. they're freezing and they have open shoes. and one lady said, give me your shoes because look what i'm wearing and what my children are wearing. he'll are incredibly angry here. they are frustrated. if you ask them, what about geneva? they will say, what about it? people are treating us like animals, they don't care, and politicians are sitting at a table when people are dying. there are a few agencies because they're expecting a large of influx, so there are tents being built. and i want to show you how one family is living at the moment. they're still waiting for a tent over here, and it's very basic, and people are saying even with

the rain, the mattresses get wet. and it doesn't dry because it's not hot enough. there's no sun, so certainly a lot of anger here, and people say they're being treated like animals, and nobody cares. >> there's new mixed reaction over the verdict in the michael dunn case. the jury convicted dunn, a white man, of three counts of attempted murder and the murder of black teen, jordan davis. there was loud music playing from davis' car, and then a mistrial on the most serious charge. >> reporter: the jury delivered a mixed verdict. deadlock odd the first-degree murder charge of 47-year-old michael dunn. they rejected his argument that he feared for his life when he fired into an suv filled with teenagers playing loud music. the verdict came one day before jordan davis would have turned 19. >> we will continue to stand, and we will continue to wait for

justice for jordan. >> reporter: but the jury did find dunn guilty on three counts of attempted second-degree murder and shooting into an unoccupied car. each count dears with it up to a 30-year sentence. >> we're just so happy to have a little bit of closer. of closer. it's sad for mr. dunn that he will live the rest of his life in that torment. and i will pray for him. >> he must be remorseful for the killing of my son. >> reporter: the defense attorney said he would love to know what the jury was thinking. the jury refused to speak with the president after the verdict. >> he's in disbelief. and even when he sat next to me,

he said how is this happening? >happening? >> reporter: the state attorney vowed to retry the second-degree murder case against dunn. cory did not respond directly when a mistrial was proo of that she had overcharged in this case. something this they have they were accused of doing in the zimmerman case. outside of the courthouse, the protesters we spoke to said that the four days of deliberations have them worried about a repeat of zimmerman's acquittal in the death of trayvon martin, killed 9 months before davis. >> relief of a verdict, of a punishment, but it wasn't the right punishment for the person >> reporter: all along, davis' parents said that they hoped to have a conviction by their son's birthday. though it wasn't the eviction they homed for, they got their wish. >> coming up, it's time for the british version of the oscars.

we'll tell you about the star power of the bafta awards. >> how this industry is creating thousands of jobs.

>> good afternoon, and welcome back to aljazeera america. i'm morgan radford. storms killed two people on saturday in britain, we have the latest from cornwall. for weeks, the sea has pounded the decline of cornwall, washing away sand dunes and sinking boats. it's home to britain's most southern port. and here they have a healthy respect for the ocean. here, the behaves got so big, they destroyed a car, and the driver barely got out in time. it's the roughest weather anyone can remember. >> it has been a stressful couple of weeks, we have had bad

weather since christmas. and last wednesday was a bit extreme. >> that's when the sea broke some of the two-ton wooden beams that were supposed to protect the harbor. and instead they washed into the port and sank ten boats and damaged more. >> it has been empty since it was built. and i don't know what day it was, but it's a few hundred years old. >> this port was started 200 years ago, but didn't open until 1825. it took 15 years to build it, it has been a difficult winter for the fishermen and along the cornish coastline. some of them haven't been able to fish for two months because of the bad weather. it will take a few weeks before the harbor can reopen, and even then, there's no guarantee that the sea will cooperate. and joining me here tonight at

the inn, it's cozy and warm in here, but the winds are blowing outside, and it's getting strong again. it has been a guilt time for the fishermen, but i'm joined by phil richards, known as kipper, and phil anderson is not just a been misher men affected. >> no, it has been everybody. it has been the building trade. and everybody for the last six weeks. >> that's because of the weather, the wind, the sea? >> the weather, the sea, the people can't get out and do their stuff. like side work, and we just can't do it. i'm in the position where i have to hold off now until the weather gets better. perhaps this week may be better to get outside, depends on what comes in offer the atlantic. >> reporter: and are cornwall having a lot of problems because the trains are disrupted. >> the strains very much

disrupted in cornish and devon, and to make the bareiors, and the main route into cornwall, it takes time too, because they're so near the sea, the waves are so big, and they're so big today that people are risking their lives, the workmen, and it will be a long, slow progress. >> have you ever seen the weather like this? >> no, i've never seen the weather like this for 20, 30 years. the last big storms, 1989, and that was big sea. but the pressure of the sea this time has overruled us. it's amazing what waves come in. i recorded 30-foot waves coming into the bay on my computer.

and it's just terrific waves. terrific sights. most of the sea is dangerous. >> reporter: and what kind of pressure? has it changed a lot of things in the village? i mean the port is closed? >> the port is closed. and the boats are lifted out of the harbor because of dangers of losing their livelihood. but we will put it together soon, but it will take time to actually make sings better. >> reporter: phil richards here in port levin, there was a break today. but it will be at least a month or two before the trains are running to cornwall from london, so still very affected by the weather. watching the sea very carefully. and hoping that things might get back to normal sometime soon. >> all right, jennifer glasse,

in cornwall. and thank you for being with us this afternoon if. >> meanwhile, 300 miles away, the red carpet is out in london for the annual bafta award. it's the major award ceremony leading up to the academy awards, and phil, what can we expect for this type of award? >> reporter: that's a good question, because this is the first bafta in many years. and of those four, there are four main components. the best film, and the best actress for sandra bullock, and if she takes that best actress prize, it means that 50% from taken a prize, because it only starred sandra bullock and george clooney. one of the strongest visual

affects movies that we have seen in 30 years, it was made around london, di and hence why it qualifies for a bafta. ten years a slave, very very more serious, harsher, and the critics didn't think that it would be the hit that it was, and the reason they thought that was the case because they didn't think that the audience would take to t but in the end, it has been out in the uk. we have "american hustle," with jennifer lawrence and christian bale. the story of a ship being taken over by somali parrots, with tom hanks. and judy bench i -- judi dench,.

and best actress will probably go to cate blanchett. this is the 15th time she has been nominated in the best actress category. >> so gravity, 12 years a slave, and "american hustle." >> still ahead on aljazeera america. the lasting impact of one of the world's most powerful storms. >> three months after haiyan swept across the philippines, we revisit the most vulnerable survivors, the children.

it. >> good afternoon to you, and welcome back to aljazeera america. i'm morgan radford live in new york city. in egypt, 3 killed and 13 injured on a bus. this is the picture of the

explosion when the south korean tourists and their driver were killed in the trash as it was getting ready to enter the israeli border cross. 1 miners have been taken out of a collapsed mine in south soh africa. they were handed over to the police. anti-government protests in venezuela took a violate turn this week. the story from caracas. >> reporter: singing the national anthem, thousands defied the government's ban on unauthorized protests and took to the streets in downtown caracas on saturday. against what they perceive as a crackdown on the opposition. >> we're tired of the government ceasing and discarding us.

>> the anti-riot police formed a line, trying to stop the protesters from advancing. rocks are hurled and then chaos. people panic and start running for cover. >> the situation here continues. and the police fired teargas and dispersed the crowd. and the crowd said they will not go. we can see in the distance, the people have rocks, and they're coming toward the police. this is the fourth day in a row of violence here in the capital. earlier a rally, tens of thousands of supporters who vow to defend him.

>> the fascists want to destroy us, but we're the majority and we'll fight for our revolution. >> calling for peace, the hardline leader of the opposition who organizes the student marches as they began on wednesday. >> you fugitive from justice, trembling with fear, you fascist coward, hand yourself in. >> as both sides continue, many people wonder when calm will return to the streets. >> let's bring in rachel levin, live from caracas in venezuela, and how do all of these protests impact the government? >> reporter: well, we want to remind our viewers, especially in the united states, that this government was elected democratically. half of the people here support this government and they don't really need to listen to the opposition. the only way that the opposition

could have an impact is in two years, if they have enough signatures, they could call a referendum and that could call for a change in the government. so i think what this does, it puts pressure on the government. and the government to respond, which is primarily controlled inflation and also crime, but it's really an image problem if you will, but it's not a threat to the power of this government. >> rachel, speaking of the image problem, president maduro came to power after, but what problems did he inherit if. >> >> reporter: well, what he inherited is a government with problems that spends a lot of money on social perhaps, but the inflation is out of control, one of the highest in the world. and the crime is a big problem, impunity is 90%.

and that's one of the problems that maduro is struggling with now. >> live from caracas, thank you for being with us this afternoon. meanwhile, right here, in america, we're having a lot of wild weather. and julie is here to tell us about it. >> nothing is changing, morgan, a steady jetstream off of the east coast, and we'll have to deal with stormy weather off of the pacific northwest. that's the story on i-95, traveling up and down the west coast, certainly from washington to oregon and northern perfections of california. that is good news, they need the rain. snow levels have dropped to 4,000 feet. so if you're traveling, on i-95, we could see 2-3 feet of snow. >> and speaking of wild weather today, it marks 100 days since typhoon haiyan slammed into the philippines, killing 6,200

people. and damages 1.1 million homes, and affecting a lot of children. >> this has been a sense of comfort for the haiyan survivor, mikko. it's all that he has left of his mother. he lost both parents and his siblings in the typhoon. >> interpreter: i just pray that hopefully they're happy, he says, and that they're watching over me. >> nikko is grateful that he eventually has found relatives to take him in. and many others like him haven't. three months after typhoon haiyan, and many children are living in evacuation centers like this one. almost 6 million children have been affected by the storm. and humanitarian groups have classified more thatn 500,000 of them as highly vulnerable. meaning they have no guardians

left, or they have come from areas where the capacity for recovery is the poorest. officials fear such children can be not just exploited but now being abandoned by caregivers, needing to look for jobs elsewhere. >> these children might somehow become a liability to the community. >> reporter: a reality that ironically 14-year-old christina escaped, thanks to hyan. she and four of her siblings live in a government care facility after social workers found them after the storm. their parents had abandoned them four years before. i'm happier now, she says, because someone is taking care of my siblings, and they're getting an education now. so far, only a small number of these most vulnerable survivors have been helped, and there's much still to be done. the rain no longer frightens

milo, 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 again. yellen. we will decode her message on the economy and how much is too much for the boss to know about your private medical information? don't look for a doctor. let the doctor look for you and bid on your next procedure. we will show you how. i am david shuster in for ali velshi. this is "real money." this
