was injured by the plast. i spoke to the head of the tourism group. he said he believes the bomb was placed inside the bus, underneath the driver's seat, and beliefs it was planted in st. katherine's monastery, a popular tourist place in central sinai. the reason he believes it was there is because the bus was there all of last night and made no stops beforehand. israel closed its side of the border and egypt did the same. armed groups, since mohamed morsi arrest, have been waging a campaign of violence, the tarts egyptian police and military services. we haven't seen tourists targeted in eight years. it's why officials are fearing it's a shift in strategy for the

armed groups. they fear the groups could attack softer and more vulnerable arguments. into >> the trial of egypt's deposed president has been held over. he was held in mohamed morsi, the defense team complained they couldn't hear him. mohamed morsi faces charges of ef pi on arch and conspire -- espiion around and conspireing in terror attacks. 35 others are also an trial. >> it's the 50th day of detention for al jazeera staff. mohamed fadel fahmy, mohammed badr, and peter greste have been in prison since december 29th. they deny charges thorpe reporting in favour of the muslim brotherhood. and the -- charges they were reporting in favour of the muslim brotherhood. al jazeera calls for their release. >> the united nations mediator apologised to 9 million refugees in limbo.

no more food. you have one - one time for the food. the situation is too sad for our people. please, if you can, if the world can help us. we are human. you see we are not animals. we are not your animals. the european union especially, you see, so many families stay under the sky, on the earth. you see the kid, the children. i think this area too cool. we need for more decent --

>> what do you say to those people who say they speak for the syrian people sitting in geneva with the syrian government, with the minister, who can't figure out how to speak to each other? >> those people are not feeling with us. those people are sitting with a big salary. they are not sitting without food, without water - please, from the people, from the people in the world, please help us. we need our country. we need our house. houses.

we have no other way to do. >> thank you very much for that. that's a very direct message. >> other people... >> that's a very direct message from exactly the mouths of people living a hell, and that nothing is being done. it gets incredibly cold here at night, and many people don't have a place to stay, no roof over their head. they are desperate to have something. >> we'll have much more on the ongoing war later on the weak ahead, including how a week to end the war in the balkans could help in stopping the efforts in syria. that's tonight. >> the united nations says it has proof of horrific crimes in humanity in north korea. it comes after a year-long testimony. some of the evidence proves

crimes like executions, rape, forced abortions and enslavement occurred by three generations of the kim family. the report will be released tomorrow, the most detailed account of the abuses during the last 60 years. >> the palestine president discussed a key sticking point in the peace talks with israel, the plight of refugees. mahmoud abbas dismissed concerns he wanted to flood the jewish state and expressed flexibility on the rights of palestinians, thousands of palestinians to return to lost propertied in the jewish state. >> let's put the issue of refugees on the table because it is an issue that must be resolved to put an end to the conflict so the refugees can be satisfied with the solution. >> this man might accepted

israel's demands that refugees return to a palestine state under a peace deal. >> their jobs are dapingz. now they are afraid of arrest. a group of minors trapped in a mine. 11 people have been freed, the rest refused to come out. local media say the officers are prepared to question the men about those inside. we have more. >> desperately trying to save lives, the workers are attempting to recover the miners trapped in an abandoned gold shaft. the miners have been trapped under ground. >> at this stage rescue operations ceased on the site of the incident, or the site has been handed over to mine security. 11 miners have been removed from the site. they've been checked by the

medical operations. what we worry about is severe dehydration. they have been cleared. vital signs are stable, and from there they have been moved through to police custody. >> initial reports such as many as 200 people could have been trapped in the mine. emergency services say they are able to verify the number and it is unsafe to go further down in the shaft. operations at the main ended years ago, but it has not stopped people entering. >> people dig through the closed shafts, and then they'll start taking the miperrals slow -- miperrals slowly and surely. they use hand tools, not sophisticated equipment to take the miperrals out and sell them on the black market. >> mining is is one of south africa's biggest industries. there are several mines in areas

around johannesburg. >> hackers have stolen personal data. we'll tell you which site they targeted this time, plus the memorier of time warner and comcast could change the which you use the internet. >> we'll get behind the glitz and glamor to show you how this industry is creating thousands of jobs

>> another popular website has been hacked. hackers gained access to kick starter. they didn't say how many customer accounts for compromised but they did say credit card numbers were not stolen. >> comcast's proposed acquisition of time warner cable means the company could meet 30 million internet custodyiers, a third of american houses with internet access. it's bringing the net neutrality

debate into the spotlight. institute comcast agreed to treat all online traffic equal since 2017. after that comcast could give its services a competitive edge. >> here to discuss net neutrality is matt wood with freepress.net >> first your thoughts on the comcast-time warner deal. >> comcast controls not only a lot of people's tv experiences but everything they do online and phone service. it's a memorier that we think would be bad for cop assumers and programmers and competitors. companies like netflix that have to deal with getting their product out. >> why do you think it would be bad for consumers, since the company says it will make them more competitive.

>> opening the wires in the ground is different. comcasters are right when they say there are other choices. but that all comes to you through a comcast or a time warner cable wire. and the combined company would have more power to dictate terms to everybody not on on the tv platform, but online. >> what you are getting at is the net newt reality debate. whoever controls the lines could slow down the websites or charge more. i know it's a big concern, is it legitimate? >> sure, and it's not the only one. there's all sorts of things they can do, short of discriminating against everyone's products. they can charge too much, and data caps could make it impossible or more expensive to use an online video option if you pay by the minute or gigbite. it's not about discriminating,

but the fact that comcast and time warner cable control so much about what you see and what you can get online. they control that as well. >> do you think the federal government will get to the point where it will allow the big internet companies to block access to websites to people that don't pay as much. >> there's a danger. what we are hearing today is the fcc making a decision, letting the company say, "trust us, we don't do it" we think we can't trust their promises. it could change slowly over time. the companies are smart. they'll do it slowly. and make it unnoticeable. rather than day one, and discriminate against al jazeera, or netflix. they can change things slowly over time and wait for the government to lapse and let them do things >> the company would say, and i

trust there are consumer protection laws that should protect most consumers. >> antitrust is expensive, protecting existing competition. 10-15 years ago you would have said ain trust is enough, something like twitter or facebook would not have got off the ground, and even google. there's not really a competitor, except in a lot of markets, to comcast or atmt or horizon. atmt is expensive. you are talking about millions in lawsuits to enforce rightsment >> how did the cost compare to other countries. i'm seeing that comcast offers a quarter of the cost of what it costs in france. what is going on. >> it's a quarter of the cost. >> that's my understanding. have you heard the same concern. >> people in other countries,

especially europe, don't pay as much as in other states. >> the cable country's entry level pricing is slow. other countries have lower prices for higher speed and you hear that we don't need the speed. who could use a gigbite per second service. that's the thinking that is dangerous, because that's locking us in to the technology we have today. others are moving ahead with faster speeds at better price points. we don't know what we might need it for, we want to make sure we have the structure for the ippo vators of tomorrow. >> what is the number one thing going to be on your radar. >> the merger is a big one. we have to watch how the government deals with it. comcast - it wasn't so long ago that they bought n.b.c. at the

beginning of 2011. they are bound by a condition, they could extend and ex-band that. trusting the company's promises doesn't sit well with us. three or four years is not a long time to weight to have complete and unfettered cell which comcast will have. >> the media landscape is changing. >> thank you for your time today. >> thank you. >> crews on cape cod are rushing to restore power to thousands who lost it. parts of massachusetts hit with more than a foot of snow. utilities report 10,000 customers are without power, due to fallen trees and downed power lines, they are hoping to get the number down to a thousands. when is winter going to end. >> i know. the ground hog - six more weeks.

>> six more weeks. >> you can't go by rodents. it's looking like that's how it's shaping up. as we look at the storm systems, coming across the u.s., we have two more moving across the area, one in the central u.s. making its way to the east. finally we are getting rid of the last one. we have a new storm hitting the west coast. the storm that we are watching in the mid west has been bringing in arse of rain-snow mix, making it track towards st. louis. we'll see an icy mix in several places and snow north of that. let's take a look to the north-east. you can see some leading edge of the storm system bringing snow to the north-east. we are not expecting a lot out of this. it will be a couple of inches. to the west, the new storm brings five to 11 inches of new snow on the east slopes of the

cascades a lot of snow, over three feet, in the kaz kate mountains working towards the rockies, and as we get to the north, north-east you see the icy mix. let's head from monday morning to monday night. well see the define band. we'll see things taper down a little for the west. an active period. wind gusts 35 to 40 miles per hour, england 60 membership miles per hour on the coast. we have high window warnings on the columbian basins, parts of idaho, and nevada. gusts and snow, and you know it's not easy to drive in the mountain passes. winter storm warnings going on for mountains in the west. look at the rain totals. in the last 24 hours, there's a

third of an inch in the gauge. low temperatures as we get going for the day. we'll start cool, near the freezing mark, and in the teens. >> prime and ready for snow. high temperatures near the freezing mark. this won't be a big hit of snow like we had. if there is good news, we'll take that. >> thank you. all this snow, winter weather. it had a major impact on air travel. so far this year 75,000 floight in the u.s. mr -- flights in the u.s. were caps employed, carrying millions -- cancelled carrying millions of passengers. airlines are trying to cancel further in advance to avoid passengers being stranded at the airport. >> florida is experiencing a boom in boat building, but it is not driven by millionaires.

we have more from miami. >> it's billed as the premier boat show. if you are in the market for the latest in floating palaces, this is the place to be. more than 2,000 boat mayors were across the globe gather in miami every year to showcase the best money can buy. >> here we are on a 25 million cpr, 145 feet, she's probably one of the largest yachts. this is a jack usee accommodating 10 guests. the billion airs only club, making it a pastime, a big job creator. >> the recreational boat building today employs under 340,000 people, in about 35,000 businesses. there are 88 million people that go recreational boating. despite the numbers, times have been tough. the recession hit the industry hard. companies wept under and

manufacturing was down by 80%. the economy is making a slow and steady comeback. >> it's that comeback, driven by every day boaters that meant manufacturers like this have been able to survive. they hope to hire more staff as business grows. >> without them we have no boat. they are the most important aspect of what we are doing. there's a lot of skilled labour out here. when the recession hit and the market fell out, a lot of people were hard up because they couldn't take care of their families. >> with new orders, there's a sense of confidence. for those employed, it's welcome news. >> really happy. i can make payments and put food on my table.

it's good. >> despite the admits and gammer, it's not the wealthy that are driving growth, it's enthusiasts with modern means. >> hip-hop pioneer russell simians is known for huhs cultural ipp -- his cultural input and advocating drugs. he is talking to soledad o'brien on "talk to al jazeera". >> you were vocal about philip seymour hoffman's death. >> if he were alive today, would he go gaol or rehab. i said end the war on drugs. the war on drugs has done more to destroy the fabric of the black community than anything we can think of, not the effects of jim crowar slavery.

it's the war on drugs taking innocent people, locked them up, educated them in criminal behaviour and dumped them in the hood with no hope. that's gaol culture for the hood, not the schools, not for the prison. prison has it. you learn, you are educated how to do things that you never would have done. whites and blacks, development they use and sell drugs at the same rate. like the drug laws, when we ended the laws, 94.5% of the people are black or brown. in a state which was not 94% black or brown. and we ipp cars rate for -- ipp cars rate more people than any more in the world, responsible for locking its own up, creating criminals, and the cycle because of this process. >> you can see the interview at the top of the hour here an al jazeera america.

soledad o'brien's conversation with russell. still ahead - bode miller goes for the gold in the men's super-g. and anger in venezuela. protesters venting frustrations. an update from

>> welcome back to al jazeera. in egypt 14 killed, 13 hurt when a tourist bus exploded in the sinai peninsula. two south korean tourists and their driver were killed. it was waiting to cross the israeli border. >> in south africa 11 people were pulled from a collapsed mind. they were digging illegally and have been handed to police in johannesburg. >> mahmoud abbas says he does not want to flood israel with

millions of palestinian refugees. the issue of refugees must be dealt with during negotiations for a peace deal. >> protesters in ukraine pulled out of kiev's city hall. demonstrators have been occupying it for a couple of months they agreed to leave if activists imprisoned were released. >> a handshake under international observers. the occupation of city hall came to an end. after weeks of negotiations between protesters and the government. both sides made a step towards each other. >> both made a compromise. the >> as the activists vacated the building, they vowed to be back if the government did not stick to his side of the deal. we don't want violence, if we are forced into it we are ready to fight back. >> it's been two months since the demonstrators swept into the city hall, the deal for

protesters was agreed. a gesture to diffuse the ongoing political crisis that paralyzed the country, and that the president weakened. >> starting from tomorrow, law enforcement in institutions will carry out procedures to drop criminal cases against the cases of voint confrontations. some activists were un sure how the future of protests would play out. it's hard to consider this a victory or defeat. for the lives of those wrongly arrested the protest is worth it. the protest erupted in november following president yank's decision to a -- viktor yanukovych refusal to negotiate with the european union. >> support for president viktor

yanukovych is popular in the east and south, the protest triggered a broader movement and less corruption in the country. how the next phase plays out will be a test of viktor yanukovych's leadership. earlier i spoke to james with the american institute in ukraine who says the government has little to offer protesters. the government is in a position where it can make concessions. other than liquidating itself and resigning, there's little they can offer that they would be confident could be accepted by anybody on the other side. the political leadership don't really control the people in the streets. it's hard to know what binding promises can't be accepted by the opposition no matter what concessions the opposition makes. the government must meet halfway to avoid a civil war. >> protesters in venezuela

capital because of soaring prices and violent crime. three were killed in clashes yesterday. interpretations were high but the demonstrations were peaceful. >> on sunday anti-government demonstrators took to the industries for the fifth day in a row. security forces stayed back. there were no incidents of violence, but they came together to show support and to show their strength in numbers. this came at the same time when another opposition leader, former presidential candidate, made a first appearance from his own studios. he called on peace and said that the demonstrators needed to show restraint, and called for another national march to show venezuelans dissatisfaction with the state of play today in the country - namely their anger at rising crime, and rising

inflation. meanwhile, the president has kept up his pressure on the opposition movement in the morning. security forces raided a house of opposition leader lopez. there's a warrant out for his arrest and the president blames him for the violence that occurred this week at student demonstrations. that lopez helped to organise. tensions are high in venezuela, on sunday, so far, it's been peace: >> rachel levin in caracas. >> italians find out installing a new government has been hard are then spected.

renzi ousted the former president. >> now to a disease affecting millions of humans and animals in africa. it's caused by a fly. nick hawk sells us how the united nations is trying to tackle it. >> this is the latest effort to combat one of africa's diseases. it is a par site flooding the bloodstream causing victims to die a painful death. it affects livestock but humans suffer from it. >> if stock is sick, we can't make money. there's no vaccine against the disease. >> all attempts to get rid of the disease have failed, until now. health officials believe the solution is in the box. inside are blood-sucking flies. these flies are different, bread in vienna at the international atomic agency.

the in effects received enough radioactive raid -- insects received enoughed radio active raidation to make them sterile. >> this willer add kate the fly and the -- eradicate the fly and the disease. >> during this 2 hour flight, every 20 seconds a box of sterile flies are dropped. at this pace they'll be wiped out by 2016. >> it almost feels like a military operation. the united nations believes it is needed to proven diseases from spreading. scientists don't know what the eradication will do to the eco system. >> we know what they do on the animals or the cattle. we know little on what is happening to the rest of the eco system. what is the role and function of those flies on the wildlife.

do they have a certain control or population control measure or not. we don't know. u.n. officials believe the benefits out way the risks saying if it is eradicated farmers will have healthier livestock and will no longer have to rely on handouts. the plan is to expand over the eastern coast, an area twice the size of the united states. home to a rich, unique and fragile eco system. >> it was six years ago tomorrow when kos ovo declared itself an independent state, breaking away from serbia. this was the scope in 2008. the newly formed nation is recognised by the united states and a majority of european union

members. there's resistance from serbia, russia, spain and other countries. that has blocked kosovo's entry into the united nations. we talked about the major obstacles as they seek further international recognition. >> we are a sovereign fhigs -- nation. we have been recognised but some major nations. we can get membership in different international organization, in imf, world bank, european bank and other european and global organizations. we started last year a

negotiation process with the european union. we hope in the middle of 2014 we'll be able to sign the agreement. whatever we did. >> looking at kosovo today. how much credit do you think the forep intervention has for kosovo's success. i think what is happening in 1990, in intervention in bosnia. it was a right step. we'll talk about how to stop the genocide in kosovo and bosnia. at the same time it was the only way to provide for the region of both countries, securities, ability and predict ability. in that sense, "don't go to the cosmetics counter without me" in 2014, it shows that international interventions are

necessary in different geographic and cultural context. below that we wouldn't live for the peace in kosovo and the region. that's the most sexist story when it comes to the international interventions, and when it comes to state buildings supported by the united nations. >> looking forward as you look at "don't go to the cosmetics counter without me," as we look at kosovo, what -- looking forward as you look at kosovo, as we look at kosovo, what do you think needs to happen? >> what we have seep in terms of political stability and growth. and in terms of getting the support of the international community by addressing the key changes and also starting negotiations in the european

union for signing the association agreement, i don't see any other reasons that other states should hesitate not to recognise kosovo. we are working to achieve more recognition with international organizations. also to move towards membership. membership to the european union. we are going to do this. thanks to cosso vo's foreign affairs minister. >> air quality mon force in new mexico picked up high levels where nuclear wastes were stored. they were detected in areas half a mile below the ground.

america. he struggled until today. he became the oldest alpine skier to win a medal, a bronze nment super-g. it's a record for u.s. skiers. one skier in the world has more. despite tying for the bronze bode miller was disappointed with the run in the super-g. >> today was a struggle that emotionally felt like a true struggle. i thought i was skiing well enough to get a medal a lot easier if i skied the way i have been, without mistakes, or if, you know, my ability or whatever matched up with the circumstances better. the way it was definitely was a fight, a struggle. in a way, you know, that is is a little bit of a special type of achievement. >> bode miller was not the only men to stand on the platform. andrew weibrecht took home the

silver with norway on top. >> it was a crash and burn for lindsay jacoby-ellis. she fell in the second to last turn of the women's snow board cross, ending 7th. her worst finish in three olympics. here is the look at the medal count: everybody is moving and shaking up the medal count line. >> thank you. by the way, were you a barr by fan. >> a little bit. i loved the dream park, i had the dream car. >> the dream house, all of it. stay around. mattel is trying to revive barr by sales with ads on the payments of the "sports illustrated" swim suit issue. it is sparking controversy.

>> barbie held down 150 jobs ranging from architect to astronaut. it's the latest having her posed on the issue of "sports illustrated." >> it's a little racy considering 8-year-old girls are playing with the goals. i wouldn't think it's the best marketing campaign. >> a campaign that mattel is calling unapologetic. >> she's an icon, not just a girl's toy. she's a 55-year-old brand and has a place in pop culture. this program is about highlighting barbie as a lem epd and item. >> the limited edition sports illustrated barbie will be out tuesday. she had a debut at the toy fair. >> the tab urks the norms, perhaps, are not what they used to be. there seemed to be no boundaries

as a parent. it's our job to provide boundaries for the children, show them boundaries, making them socially well adjusted, see adults, media taking the bount ris away makes life more difficult as a parent. >> mattel long battled criticism that barr by had an unrealistic first eke. the company wants to make one thing clear. barr by makes no apologies for being who she is. >> you know, the marketing expects in mattel, genius. >> barbie with a hash tag. >> she's a modern woman out there tweeting herself. >> i don't know how much they paid "sports illustrated", marketing genius. >> still ahead on al jazeera america - teaching hydroponics to the homeless. why some say the benefits are

companies. >> our generation of leadership can get the ball rolling and fighting against climate change, so the next generation, people in their 20s and 30s can finish the job. >> despite the push for leaner energy, it could be the last problem of its kind. natural gas plants are still a lot cheaper to build. >> a 93-year-old charity in seattle sprouting new ways to support its mission to feed the hungry. the millionaire club is turning to a centuries-old technique saying money, space and the environment. tonya moseley takes us inside a brand new hydroponic farm. >> when the founder of the millionaire club decided on a name... >> he wanted everyone to feel like a millionaire, no matter how much they had. >> the seattle nonprofit serve thousands down on their luck.

world's famous women but missed out to jennifer lawrence in "american hustle", a somali pirate received the best actor in "captain phillips", it was one of four big hopes, with in my opinion nominations to "america hustles" 10. "12 years a slave" - this movie took 30 million in the five weeks of the u.k. alone. it missed out, it took two of the big ones. this was the best picture. so that is it for another year. the first in many, where there was not one, two, but four strong contenders for the top prices. will we have the same results.
