beijing international airport. but first this report. >> anxious families wait for news of malaysia flight 370, which disappeared yesterday. some 239 people were on board. in beijing. there are few details, but the fact that the crew did not accepted a distress signal indicates whatever happened happened early. >> our thoughts and prayers are with family of the passengers and crew. >> reporter: international efforts are under way.

here's what we know about the flight path. the trip left at 12:41 local time. it was expected to arrive in beijing at 6:30, and then it disappeared. the plane has a safe travel history with only one crash. >> the aircraft is 12 years old, and we've had aircraft flying for almost 20 years that have flown more hours and more flights in this particular one. if it was going to be a structural break up, it would have been with older fleets. >> reporter: with little information on what happened no one is willing to guess what went wrong. >> let's cross over to florence who is at the airport for us in kuala lumpur to tell us more

about the operation. >> reporter: malaysian authorities have not been able to confirm anything. they have not been able to spot any part of the aircraft. search and rescue is still going, they're still concentrating on the area where they last had contact with the airport. vietnam, singapore china on forward. malaysia itself had more than a dozen planes and nine ships in the search effort. it is too dark for planes to continue, but planes are still continuing in the search. earlier it was a hive of activity with relatives distraught, some weeping in the

holding area. now they are in a nearby hotel where they will stay overnight. the airline and malaysian authorities said they will bring more information as soon as they get it, but they're not expected to hold any more press conferences for the rest of tonight. >> florence reporting for us from kuala lumpur. now we go to beijing where rob mcbride is waiting. i imagine its difficult for people there as they wait for any information on the flight. >> a long anguished day of waiting here. and now a long night of the same. during the i day relatives and friends have been turning up as news spread about the disappearance of this aircraft, showing up in a distraught state, and gradually directed to a hotel nearby. several hundreds have

congregated throw the day. a number of those are being accommodated at two hotels. there is a very anguished scene and some anger from a number of passenger who is said they haven't had the kind of information they would expect from the malaysian airline staff. some say they have not seen a representative from the airline at all. there has been some anger on social media, the airline being criticized for not coming forth and giving details about the aircraft disappearance for hours. they are sending a team to beijing, a team with caregivers and people trained in counseling. the governments of the two countries have gotten involved. the premiere of china has contacted his curren counter pat

urging that the searc search sed rescue be given as much time as possible. >> rob, thank you very much. rob mcbride reporting from beijing international airport for us. tensions remain high in crimea. that as warning shots were fired on observers who are trying to enter the region. we go to london. >> reporter: yes, shots reported every an ukraine's acting foreign minister asked russia to do more to let observers in. the representative on freedom of the media, she joins us on the line from vienna. could you just explain to us the sequence of events of what took place as you attempted to enter crimea? >> well, we entered crimea withoutodiscuss the conditions r

work. we had the meeting, and we had a problem actually when we were trying to leave the city. any waanyway, that's what happe. the important thing to mention they're trying to work absolutely horrible circumstances. we are receiving information on an hourly basis about attacks and intimidation. signals of ukrainian television stations were shot down in order to introduce and replace with russian channels. the channel of the tatar is down. and we receive more and more information about the intimidation and attacks on foreign media se seizure of ther

equipment. and whoever is responsible currently in crimea is doing anything to preserve or not to mention assure safety. >> so you're concerned about the rights and state of the media in crimea. you say shots were fired as you were attempting to leave. are you going to keep making trips that access the region? can you talk more about the circumstances you were faced with? >> well, that did not happen to me. >> what are you hearing from your colleagues?

>> shedding light on the state of the concerns in the ukraine specifically in crimea. meanwhile right now russia's foreign minister denied they had direct involvement in unrest of crimea. the government in kiev is taking orders from extremists. >> we object that russia is portrayed to be a party of this conflict, and this wasn't a conflict instigated by russia. the so-called temporary government of ukraine is not an independent one. it depends on radical nationalists who committed an armed take over of the government in ukraine. we assure that our western partners should be aware who these people are as they visit

ukraine often for political reasons they hide the truth. >> let's get more news now from fred weir in moscow. hearing from the foreign minister, they're essentially blaming the violence in ukraine on political right wing groups. how difficult will it be for russia to dialogue with the west as they stake with that government. >> well, there are different schools of thought about what is generating the russian position. one school is the russians, particularly vladimir putin, who is clearly calling the shots, were blindsided by what happened in kiev. they do truly see it as an illegal seizure by a minority

who overthrew legally elected government using pressure from the streets. but on the other hand they may not want to have--certainly don't want to have war, and certainly don't want to have the kind of isolation that they're threatened with. but this school of thought holds that putin is driven by his emotions. he doesn't like to be compared tto adolf hitler or saddam hussein. he thinks that the west is unreasonable not listening to his arguments. that's why he keeps moving the goal posts and changing his tune. the other thought is that they're taking advantage of the disorderly change of power in kiev, probably something that they longed to do, which is to dismember ukraine, to weaken the

ukrainian state and turn it into federation. >> ukrainian television has broadcast these pictures which shows 70 unmarked military vehicles driving alone the road lead to go crimea. ukraine's acting foreign minister said that it acts an international contact group to lead negotiations with russia. >> we should discuss various forms of corporation. however it's a shaky proposal. ukraine is ready to consider various options and choices, how to cooperate with a contact group. our main priority is a diplomatic solution. >> tell us a bit more about the

word from kiev today. >> reporter: well, where i am at independent square part of th we people have been in conflict in a way with those deaths. they don't want to see another conflict generally over crimea, but they're worried about what russia is doing in that ukraine. especially for the tatars, who has been in a rally hear saying that the government, the interim government is not doing enough to assure their relatives' safety there. they're worried there could be some kind of military confrontation. so far they've seen military bases taken over and those pictures of the convoys, but they're worried it could get worse. earlier on saturday the foreign minister said that they are

pressuring the outside world to try to get russia to pull those troops back to their previous positions, but clearly that's not working. the foreign minister said they are willing to talk with moscow but that's not happening with those labels that moscow is putting on this interim government being controlled by extreme nationalists, so on. it's not helping the atmosphere towards negotiations. what people here are talking about is she want to see sanctions. those are extremely slow in coming. many people here want more answers from their own politicians in kiev, more pressure on their partners to stop russia from further as they see it invasion of their territory. >> all right, live for news kiev. thanks very much. we'll get analysis on the situation with lincoln mitchell, associate professor for russian and european studies, joins us from new york. and so let me ask you about the

u.s. options. what are the u.s. options in trying to reverse the russian presence in crimea, and is there anything that they can do to force russia to pull troops back? >> well, the options are the things we've heard discussed, sanctions, travel restrictions. those are the right things for the united states to do but they are not going to be enough to force russia to do anything. if full involvement with europe with those sanctions, that might be able to move russia a little bit, but there is little evidence that that is going to happen. some kind of negotiation is extension, but russia has a strong hand in the short term. but the long term, what do they do with crimea. do they really want an occupied force there? how do they sustain that? i think russia needs to think through what their long-term strategy is as well.

>> would it make more sense to convince russia to draw a line in terms of their presence to prevent them from going further into eastern ukraine? >> well, yes and no. you definitely want to prevent them from going into eastern ukraine, but you don't want to legitimatize what is a land grab. to send troops into crimea and secure it, and then say we've got it. that may have been what happened. the west needs to recognize that without recognizing legitimacy of the action. this is the new reality of which we live, at least for now. >> is there anything that the u.s. can do to perhaps bring about a face-saving way for president vladimir putin to withdraw from the crimea in favor of international monitors? >> well, the first thing that the u.s. could do is to create a

climate where that is even possible. every time some one-time or future presidential as perant gets up and speaks and talks as if the united states has some e ordinary high ground it legitimately creates a reaction moving russia from the negotiating table. while their views of the ukraine i don't agree with it, i don't think the united states government agrees with it, there is some legitimacy, something to be discussed there. this notion was that it was hey it was a great democratic revolution and they were ousted. but the truth lies in between the russian and u.s. interpretation. we're talking about interests, not the next hitler. that may make it possible to negotiate, but until then i don't think its possible.

>> professor, thank you. we'll be back later on, including libya leaked recordings and election finance: >> reporter: japan's prime minister visits fukushima, and arsenal reaches the last four of the english premiere cup. but first united nations said most muslims have left the central african republic. the displacement amounts to ethnic religious cleansing. he said muslims in central

african republic are under permanent threat. now the number is thought to be 1,000. 1 million people have fled their homes. some have crossed the boards to the democratic republic of congo. we visit a refugee camp there. >> reporter: everyone here left their home in central african republic because it has gotten too dangerous here. even here people with joke. you fled, you fled. it's a way of mocking each other through a bit of fun. but at home it has gotten worse. more have been killed. >> my mother and father left on the fifth of december. i don't know if they're still alive. >> reporter: she's one of nearly

3,000 central africans who fled to neighboring countries. 60,000 who registered here in the neighboring democratic of congo. meanwhile people already living here wait for food to be distributed. they depend on what they're given to survive. it gets heated. >> we've been suffering here in these refugee camps for one month now. >> the amount of food we get is small. it's not enough. >> reporter: everyone gets given two small bars of soaps and a bag of soap. they get a cooking bag and everyone gets two kilos of beans and over here everybody is given a bucket of rice. it's not very much food but the u.n. said its enough for each person to survive for two weeks. the u.n. also said it wants to avoid massive camps.

but roads have been cut off by conflict so supplies have to be transported by river. >> now it's the dry season and the river is very low, and it's very difficult for boats to navigate on the river. >> reporter: there are already over 9,000 people in this camp, and more are arriving. the village of shelters is becoming a town, and the situation at home is not getting better. so people here do not expect to go back any time soon. al jazeera in the democratic republic of congo. >> let's go to director of strategico. tell us what is happening to the country's muslim population in

the central african republic. >> reporter: terrible things. the crisis in the c.a.r. does not look like other crises i. within a couple of weeks the population of muslim would vanish from 100,000 to 900. in sudan there were protests yesterday against france. people calling for jihad, and even the taliban has expressed concern for the situation of muslims. we're facing something that could spread if we're not paying attention. >> the u.n. high commissioner, i believe, used the word "cleansed." can you tell us about those muslims that remain in the country. what are they facing?

>> reporter: they are terrified. i heard about 15,000 muslims who were held by anti-muslims. many fled to the north of the country, giving rise and concern to the partition of the country. they need protection, which needs 6,000 or 7,00 7,000 troop. >> what is it going to take to stop this. >> reporter: they need 10,000 force notice regular army. in the war situation you need at least the same size, 10 to 11,000 people, peace keepers.

but considering the african forces are sometimes taking sides, i'm talking about chad, we are not at the end of the crisis. >> what do you mean by that? can you clarify that? >> um, a couple of weeks back, january or february it was not a friendly fire that the chadian fired. the chadian troops are believed to support seleka, which turn to be muslims and protect the muslims. so the africa forces are not insuring much of anything. in addition there are financial problems they have given the international community.

even assistance is a problem. $500 million is needed, and 16% of that is funded. i'm worried about the elections as well. >> all right, we'll have to leave it there. libby joining us from paris. well, libyan rebels said they exported oil by passing the government. the oil was loaded thon north korean ship. it will be the first foreign oil sale in control. the government said the tanker has not been allowed to leave. the it threatened to bomb any vessel buying oil. activists say syrian forces have bombarded areas and there has been heavy fighting outside of the airports. forces loyal to bashar al-assad have shelled targets

in the countryside. the rebel-held town of tambisa was hit, and government forces are closing in on one of the last strong holds near lebanon. the trial of three al jazeera journalist who is came to egypt is schedule to resume on march 24th. they have now spent 70 days in prison. they're accused of having links with a terrorist organization. al jazeera rejects the charges. and another journalist has been detained for more than six months. much more to come on the al jazeeral jazeera news hour. we'll show you what these women in the philippines did to mark international women's day. and in venezuela the government is accused of human rights abuses. and move over. how this driver in mexico.

we have more details in sports. >> al jazeera america is a straight-forward news channel. >> its the most exciting thing to happen to american journalism in decades. >> we believe in digging deep. >> its unbiased, fact-based, in-depth journalism. >> you give them the facts, dispense with the fluff and get straight to the point. >> i'm on the ground every day finding stories that matter to you. >> in new orleans... >> seattle bureau... >> washington... >> detroit... >> chicago... >> nashville... >> los angeles... >> san francisco... >> al jazeera america, take a new look at news.

>> twenty five years ago, pan am flight 103 exploded in the skys above lockerbie. only one man was convicted of the attack >> the major difficulty for the prosecution, that there was no evidence... >> now a three year al jazeera investigation, reveals a very different story about who was responsible >> they refuse to look into this... >> so many people at such a high level had a stake in al megrahi's guilt. lockerbie: what really happened? on al jazeera america

>> hello again. the top stories on the al jazeera news hour. vietnam government said two oil slick spotted off the coast could be from the ma sla the man flight. the flight has been missing since early saturday morning. fires shot from the crimea groups. the u.n. my commissioner for refugees said the displacement of muslims in central africa republic equates to ethnic cleansing. well pressure is growing on nicholas sarkozy that muammar

qaddafi gave millions to his campaign. >> reporter: judges ordered the former french president's phone to be tapped. it comes at a difficult time for sarkozy, who is believed to be planning an political comeback. the investigation into the 2007 campaign began last year and he's investigated for interfering with the judiciary, that's after another investigation into financing case. sarkozy said he has done nothig wrong. he's also planning to suing a former adviser for releasing hours of private recordings. i'm joined by journalist and

political commentator. >> well, it's probably too early to say. we are the end of an absolutely astonishing weak. as you mentioned former adviser tape recorded hours of conversation of the former president, and then deciding that it's too early to know the consequences. what is clear the only way the judges could order phone hack something that he could be having misconduct that could lead to condemnation of two years in jail. if he's going to jail, he's got to go to another trial, it would be very difficult for him to try for a political comeback. >> all right, from paris, thanks so much. now you may not have heard of--you may not have heard of

nicholas tesslap without him who knows if you would have been able to hear me. he was one of the most important inventers who pioneer ac power and devices used in radio communication. now there is controversy over plans to remove his remains within serbia. turning out in their thousands protesters demand the preservation of a serbian icon calling for remains to be left in a museum named after him. after a decree ordering that he be moved and buried in an orthodox church. >> that'church leaders say thats where he belongs along with other servan heroes. but critics say he was an

atheist. >> the place of the church is not in the museum. >> reporter: he's best known for his work in developing the ac electricity. ac is when the direction of a current constantly reverts on itself. it makes it easy to change the volume tavoltage of power. ac largely replaced thomas edison's direct current or dc. tessla also device is used in modern communication and the modern x-ray machine. politicians not protesters will have the final say on the urn.

>> you're up to speed with all the top stories from europe. now back to doreen. >> japan's prime minister has been visiting the area around the fukushima power plants and told former residents of the now deserted town that he will listen to their needs. >> reporter: adjourning into the heart of japan's nuclear disaster has become almost a daily routine. the once thriving town that joins the power plant. >> just because we're retired does not mean that it's not business any more. we need to do all we can to keep this place alive. >> reporter: so these men and their volunteer colleagues monitor the levels and clear the

water away. their exposure is not a problem. admitting that it amounts to twice the recommended limit. their goal is to get 400 people back and living in the outlying neighborhood in the next two to three years. amidst all this optimistic activity there is a realism that bringing anyone to live here at a time when nuclear disaster continues to unfold will be very difficult. it's a task they will have to pass onto the next generation. >> we come across a different group. no masks or hazard suits here. it's all about confidence. tight security prevented us from hearing from the prime minister.

he visited housing for nearby evacuees. but here where they feed m migratory swans. >> it's not the first time that we have suffered hardship. think of what our ancestors did to build the paddy fields. now we have to do the same for our next generations. >> reporter: they admit that the number of their neighbors ever considering coming back here get smaller every day. al jazeera, japan. >> local media in pakistan are reporting more than 100 people have died from a famine in a southern desert in the last three months. they're investigating whether 41 children died from malnutrition. the commissioners have been

sacked. it's largest desert is in persistent drought and has not rained there for two years. they're looking at who is responsible for the delays in sending food and medicine. in taiwan officers have been sent to jail in the death of a young soldier. the soldier died of heat stroke in july last year after being forced to complete excessive exercises as punishment. yemen's news agencies said that they havthat they have firr chief. a district chief has been killed and six others wounded in afghanistan after a bomb placed under their car exploded. the taliban has claimed responsibility for that attack.

in venezuela's capitol caracas, a candlelight vigil was held for those killed in demonstrations that began in february. meanwhile advocacy groups, human rights watch accuse the venezuelan government of using brutal force against demonstrators. we have reports. [ gunfire ] >> reporter: clashes like this one has been common as venezuelans take to the streets to protest against rising crime and police corruption. the opposition said their marchs are peaceful there have been victims and accusations on both sides. >> here we continue to follow our commander in chief's orders, which are keep internal order, guard public order. give citizens necessary security, and if it is necessary for us to lay down our lives we

will. because our order must be restored. enough with these fascist groups. enough with the violence that unjustly hundreds the populati population. >> reporter: one man was arrested. while in custody he said he was raped b with a rifle by a guard. his mother can speak on his behalf. >> there are no words to describe how we feel. we are all stuck in apartment because we can't leave him alo alone. i don't believe in this country's justice system. i don't believe. >> reporter: his case and others who were killed by the security forces have become nationally known. they're martyrs for the cause. with the highest crime rates in the world very few criminals

here are rarely captured never mind being captured in places like this. with the political developments of this cases things are unlikely to be any different. while the families mourn the fight is waged to insure basic human rights are maintained. >> putting pressure on the authorities. >> they have not been respecting the minimum standards in prevention of torture. that's evident in all the cases presented. they have not had immediate access to lawyers or families. they've taken away their telephones and erase photos that could compromise the authoriti authorities. >> reporter: the government maintains that it's up holding the rule of law. and they're trying to remove it from power. as venezuelan society becomes increasingly polarized the efforts to maintain fundamental human rights are becoming ever more concentrated.

al jazeera, venezuela. >> still to come on the al jazeera news hour confusion reigns over whether this man is the founder of the currency bitcoin. and in sport mesi again is left feeling sick. this time in la liga. we have that next with jo.

>> this is the real deal man... >> an american newsmagazine said it's identified the mysterious inventor of the currency

bitcoibitcoin. it has been criticized as easy for criminals to trade drugs and guns. >> reporter: a gang of reporters descended on the modest los angeles home of dorian yakamoto, after a news article claimed that he was the mysterious founder of the bitcoin. nakamoto strenuously denied that he invented bitcoin. a near farcical event ensued when he asked for a free lunch. >> the main reason i'm here is to clear my name that i have nothing to do with bitcoin. nothing to do with developing. i was just an engineer doing something else. if you look at the time span

in 2001 when it was supposed to be developed i wasn't there. i was working for the government through a contract company. >> reporter: "newsweek" cover story presents evidence but no conclusive prove that nakamoto is the bitcoin founder. most assumed that the inventor used a made up name, not a real person. "newsweek" stands by its story. >> okay, where is my lunch ticket. >> reporter: presumably lunch was paid for with real money. al jazeera, los angeles. >> well, it's international women's day, and the focus is to reduce poverty and improving health. we have reports on some of the event from around the world. >> reporter: going for a record

in the philippines, more than 10,000 people turned up to support equality for women. they're hoping to make it into the guinness world record book. the participation of men was crucial to the stunt. it also helped highlight the fact that philippines was ranked fifth more gender equal country in the world according to a world economic report. >> one of the things that we're doing which we say where we're going out to recruit men to participate actively in promoting the emancipation of women, women's rights as well as women's empowerment. >> reporter: afghanistan is one place where women's rights have improved over the last 12 years. >> after all that has happened to the woman, they were deprived of money, basic rights. i think the woman's issue is an

international agenda, and we need to look at it from a national need. >> giving women more rights such as education is important in and of itself. but it could also change everyone's lives. on average one in ten children die before reaching five in afghanistan. studies show educating women leads to lower child mortality. when women with an education join the workforce, they also help to reduce poverty. over in the gaza strip hundreds of women took part of the march. people there know all too well how women suffer disproportionately in poor and deprived sweets when women and girls thrive, societies thrive. women's progress is human progress. >> reporter: earlier in new york a group of high profile women walked down the streets of the city. even in the world's most

developed nations more can be done to encourage gender equality. and men, whether husband, fathers, sons or friend of women, need to make impact. >> time for sports news with jo. >> thank you. arsenal after a 4-1 win over edison. they are looking fo a better st. and two goals in two minutes but the game beyond the victor's reach. the final scour 4-1 to arsenal. over in the premier league david moyes learned that action is better than words. they followed up with a 3-0 win

over west brom. the big game chelsea a win on saturday could see jose mourinho's men go to the top. >> it is not a realistic situation. realistic situation stems with the same number of matches, and in that situation you can say i am in front, i am behind, i have some point advantage. >> in spain going to the top of la liga. mesi was sick during the game against argentina midweek. but he did not seem to show effects early on.

title. france were routed 27 points and will play ireland in a final round of games. >> we focus on the game in scotland. we need to get ready for it. after that we play ireland and france, but we don't need to be thinking about it now. for now we know despite our loss against wales everything is still possible. that's the most important thing. we can still win this competition. that's up to us. we need to get rid for the game in scotland and we'll see about the rest. >> sri lanka has won the asian cup for the fifth time. pakistan from the defending champions. iknock the runs off with 22 balances to spare.

called "in orbit." >> ward and i got our idea for "inorbit" based on other pieces we've done in the past. we want to explore two people who have to synchronize their entire day. all the sort of normal activities in the day spin around and we synchronize. 180 degrees from me is ward's bed. >> i'm on top of the wheel, and the situation up here is different than in the bottom because i have actually very small area that i can safely stand in. he's got to be thoughtful about me at every moment. he can't move suddenly. he's got to keep his mind on me. >> so the script for all of the performance buildings that we do, that we endeavor is just to live your life as normally as possible. >> oh moh my gosh, thank you so much. that's great, that's great.

terrific. thank you. >> you have to share. >> absolutely. >> so one of the biggest difficulties, one of the things i found a little bit unusual is to have to keep every surface free of clutter. if i put a coffee cup down and i forget to take it away that coffee cup will wind up on my head. >> it's been full of surprises. >> we decided it would be smart for me to wear a harness, and a strap. that's what the piece is about, it's about balance. over this ten days we've been able to maintain the balance, and that's one of the ambitions of the work. >> probably the first thing i do when i leave "in orbit" is to take a nice warm shower. >> on al jazeera we'll have a full bulletin of news coming with all the day's top stories. we'll see you in just a moment.
