a men dead after being in police custody. living in the dark, 60% of people in sudan don't have access to electricity. ♪ one of the two men traveling on a stolen passport, on a missing malaysia airline plane was a 19-year-old iranian seeking asylum in germany and giving an update on investigations in the past hour and meanwhile rescue teams are searching to find the aircraft and the plane vanished on saturday with 239 people on board. no trace has been found yet and this is the latest from the police chief. >> he is 19 years old and he is an iranian, and we believe he is

iranian and we have been checking his background. we have also checked in with other police organization on his profile. and we believe that he is not likely to be a member of any terrorist group. and we believe that he is trying to migrate to germany. >> reporter: scott hidler is here and police saying terrorism an unlikely cause for the plane's disappearance so what are they focusing on? >> well, they are focusing on a couple different things and everything from investigating thoroughly what was in the cargo hold of that aircraft and any hazardous materials that could have been on and looking at other passengers on that list.

as we heard in that press conference again that was 90 minutes ago, saying terrorism with that suspected person is not the case and probably not with the other person who had a stolen passport and traveled on a stolen passport and people who were most likely involved in some kind of human trafficking scheme or something like that or stolen passport syndicate and probably not terrorism and at the early stages they are ruling it out definitively mainly because they have no physical evidence of what brought the aircraft down and have not been able to pinpoint a big region where this aircraft went down. the vast area now they are searching seems to grow everyday and there are a lot of nations involved in the searching so until they find some kind of physical evidence that cannot pinpoint the cause or write-off any potential causes.

>> reporter: as that search expands, scott, we know that some relatives have arrived in kuala lumpur and how are they helped and what is being done for them? >> they are very much out of the public eye and arrived monday night and tuesday and not a lot of numbers and a lot of family members decided to stay in beijing and if they came here and not certain where they will be flown to and when they find the location where the aircraft went down and some decided to stay in china and some out of the public's eye and put in hotels around the airport and around kuala lumpur and preventing media and public access to them because it's such a sensitive time for them but again in china a lot of family members there waiting and really kind of pointing the finger at the airline and asthma laysha to really step things up to find

some indication of where the aircraft might have went down and fly to the closest location and say good-bye to loved ones. >> thanks, scott, that is scott joining us from malaysia capitol. attack in the indian state, at least 20 police officers are feared to have been killed in a suspected raid. and we are live from the indian capitol new deli and what more do we know about this attack? >> well, actually just in the last few moments we had confirmation from police in the area that 20 personal have thus been killed in then counter between security personnel and fighters. it's a developing story at this point the firing from what we believe is continuing so perhaps those figures and the exact details yet to be firmed up and it may go for sometime yet with

reenforcements reportedly being brought into the area. so, yes, that is what we know at the moment but certainly a very incident given we are on the cusp of a national election and these are some of the key areas. >> reporter: absolutely, a key area that also has seen these kind of masked attacks in the past, hasn't it? >> yes, absolutely. and this is part of what is known in india as the red card or key area of action and presence for the fighters, that goes from the state of bangladesh through west bangole to the east and a long-running conflict and keeping in mind the fighters say they are fighting for poor farmers and landless laborers and certainly shown strength in terms of their forces and what they can do, particularly when it comes to election time and around areas where campaigning is also

focused. so, yes, it's been quite a long-running particular conflict. we should also say it has been described by the government of one of india's biggest internal security challenges and today seeing just why they describe it as such. >> reporter: thank you for that, this is from new deli. and japan is parking the third anniversary of the 2011 earthquake and we are joined others including prime minister at a ceremony in tokyo and they were in town for the exact time it struck and triggered a tsunami and caused a meltdown of the fukushima plant and over 18,000 people were killed in the disaster. al jazeera has uncovered new evidence that suggests libya was not behind the bombing of pan-am 103 over the scottish town 25 years ago, 259 passengers and 11

people on the ground died when the plane exploded on the 21st of december 1988, two years after the attack two libyans charged in u.s. and scottish courts and 2001 one of them a former libyan intelligence agent was found guilty of the bombing and always insisted he was innocent and released in 2009 because he had terminal cancer and we have more. >> reporter: 25 years after the locabie bombing al jazeera has documents verified by security and legal experts which point to the secret service and the armed group for the liberation of palestine central command or pflpgc and says the four parties were there nine months before the bombing of the pan-am flight

to discuss israeli and american targets. >> they were recruiting support, we are all going to help each other, some of us may be able to do something and some people others and we will join together and we are going to have a campaign against israeli and american targets. we want to inflict maximum damage. >> reporter: three months after this meeting u.s. navy shot down an iranian plane killing 290 civilians including 60 children. it was then that the plan for the locakbie bombing was hatched. >> decision was made by the whole system in iran and then by itola komani and the target was to copy exactly what happened in iran and saying 290 people dead.

this was the target of the iranian decision makers. >> reporter: the ferry the pflpgc was involved in the bombing of the pan-am flight isn't new and many at the time believe there was evidence pointing to the palestinian group and now it links the secret service to the attack. >> i often wondered whether or not the truth about lockerbie will ever come out. so many people at such a high level had a stake in the guilt and talking about presidents of the united states, secretary of state and heads of the f.b.i. and british prime ministers and what makes the case so difficult. >> if i die this is the truth. >> reporter: convicted of the bombing, a libyan agent and he is now dead. these new revelation will talk

about who carried out the bombing and bringing them to justice, al jazeera. >> reporter: and mohamed is a professor in tehran and says the claims by al jazeera are nonsense. >> tehran doesn't carry out the operations, that is the sort of thing that the united states does. it downs airliners like the iran and eu and the united states gave sadan hussein to kill and i would like to see a documentary on that and however it plays out the very fact they are using a known terrorist to condemn iran and by the way this same person, this abul, he was also used in the buenos aires bombing and made accusations against aroone at that time and recently they signed a memorandum to carry out

an investigation and find a real culprit and a great deal of pressure on the argentina government to back down from this idea. why? because they don't want the truth to come out because obviously -- >> we are interrupting that to take you to a live news conference from russia, this is the former ukrainian president viktor yanukovych making an official statement. let's listen in to what he is saying. . >> translator: my dear comarades, first of all in ukraine there is rumors going on about myself. i would like to say that i am alive. i would not say that i'm -- i don't feel very well because i have worries about what is happening in ukraine.

behind the screen, so called lawful government and the near nazis an acting in the country and they are aiming to the government to take most of the government in the country. they want to take them places of security and police forces, not just kiev but also local governmental authorities. there are people wearing bands on their arms. they are high, rank authorities and those who are not following them and those who are antipeaceful regulation in the south of the country. just think about it. they want to take our army under

bandara and to start the civil war. they would like to switch on the military forces of malitia and national organization to give them weapons in their hands. i would like to ask those representatives from the west, are you blind? have you lost memory? have you forgotten what is fascisism? but i'm sure that officers, soldiers of ukraine know about it, opposite to you with representatives which find the document which is not about the guaranty to myself but about the guaranty of the civil peace in ukraine and you have just ruined that document and that man who

swore not to shoot their own people now we can see what are they worth. they will not follow your orders anymore. i would like to remind you that i remain not the only one legitimate president but also the chief commander of the country. i have not stopped my duties before and i was not deprived of my duties. according to the constitution of ukraine, in usa and other countries, they say that i have lost my legitimacy because i ran out of the country. i repeat, i have not run out. the seizure of the building of the government is

anticonstitutional. with weapons in their hand, they seized it and as you knew i was in ukraine in crimea. once again during the coup i have not left the territory of ukrai ukraine. during those days terrorists methods were used against me on numerous occasions but they have not succeeded. when circumstances will allow i hope it's not long to wait, i will come back to kiev and i would like to declare that the election of the president which are planned for the 25th of may are not legitimate and unlawful. they don't agree to the constitution of ukraine and any authorities of the government which will be formed after this

election will be considered illegal, not lawful. besides the legal legitimacy, these elections will be conducted in the total control of extremists forces. i refer to the international forces. no one has right to support unconstitutional of the coup. by the way, everyone knows the information about the usa government supporting the current government and giving $1 million in support of this banded government. and according to the legislation of usa, it is forbidden to support unlawfully elected government.

to the government where the president was unlawfully impeached, i would like to refer to and apply to the court of usa to reconsider the legal actions of the current government. according to your old legislation you don't have right to provide money to rehelp to the government which was illegally elected. it will be direct heat to the people of ukraine. the responsibility will be given laid upon me. i will not agree to these. i'm not at fault. the steps which were taken to

cut the pension and wages are inhuman and antipeople. our government, myself, we had planned how to save the life and social level of ukraine. unfortunately now because of the illegal government it's not possible. those who allow to shoot into their own people and they should be held responsible for the grief of old people. ukraine is suffering now, the crimea is going to display and even under the gunpoint ukrainians demanding the peace and quiet.

the country needs to be, united and ukraine has not died. freedom and dignity. thank you. >> reporter: well, that was the former ukrainian president, viktor yanukovych making an official statement in the russian city of rostonondon but he doesn't see himself as a the former ukraine president saying there he is the only legitimate president of ukraine, speaking of course from russia where he fled to after those mass protests that have been, that swept ukraine for months. let's go to our correspondent paul brennan in the ukrainian capitol kiev for us and, paul, viktor yanukovych dismissing any authority other than his own.

>> yes, much of the rhetoric in this defiant address is familiar to people who saw his initial address just after he fled from ukraine over a week ago. he is talking about the i' illigitamacy in the kiev and appealing the united states to not support the kiev administration. remember, too, the prime minister is going to washington tomorrow and i think the plea from yanukovych and americans not to recognize the current kiev administration frankly is not going to hold any water at all and certainly not paid heed to. the initial reaction in the room with people watching the speech on television shook their heads and smiled. reality is that yanukovych really is yesterday's man certainly as far as kiev is

concerned. and if you recall the news conference that vladimir putin gave last week he admitted it was extremely unlikely that yanukovych would be able to resume power here. as you heard in the address he gave in russia he believes that he remains the president, he remains the commander-in-chief and he says how realistic it is, we can only judge and says he would like at some point to return here to kiev. i don't think realistically he is going to be able to do that. >> you mentioned those pleas that he was making to the united states, but he didn't just have pleas, he had very tough words for them in what he called, who he called rather the representatives about for getting history, for getting fascisism was and calling his opponents ultra nationalists neo nazis there.

>> exactly, i'm looking down at my notes and he said first of all he reassured the world he is alive and you remember there were rumors last week that he actually suffered a heart attack and perhaps passed away and clearly that is not clear and he said he was alive and neo nazis were trying to take over the government at the national and local level and he talked to the west directly through the television screen saying are you blind, are you no memory, have you forgotten what fascisism looks like and he is very defiant but the reality here in ukraine is that he is yesterday's man frankly. >> thank you very much for that, that is our correspondent and paul brennan is at the capitol kiev. >> announcer: this is al jazeera america, we will return to this program

>> announcer: this is al jazeera america and we now rejoin this program already in progress. >> others linked to far right and near nazi groups and one nationalist group played an important part with riot police and as they put it the revolution and now they are standing in may's presidential election. >> translator: i can't understand people's definition when they talk about radical extremist and there was probably no more a moderate organization than the right sector on the mid arm and only went to attack because we wanted to realize the people's right to revote and the leader has previously talked about jewish conolli ukraine and they have several posts in the interim government and denies links to far right activists and the west is happy to play a role in politics. >> we have been positively

impressed by the evolution of the positive evolution of sobota's role as part of the opposition and we have been clear that for the united states the use of anti ss ss seantise c and language is a red line. >> reporter: not hard to find symbols used by nazis and sympathy and they do not have views of vast majority of protests but are reminded of the challenges that ukraine faces, al jazeera in kiev. >> reporter: a journalist shot dead in afghan capitol and the victim is a british national working for a swedish television station and no one claimed responsibility for the attack and jane ferguson has the latest from kabul. >> reporter: west kabul is never entirely safe for foreigners and assassination-type killings are

rare and especially in this part of the town and all of these houses around here will have security guards and at least one per house and westerners have offices or live in the area and it's essentially diplomatic area and today the security would have been fighter than ever because the vice president passed away recently and today is his funeral so there is security around the entire area. the journalists was believed to have been walking down the street here when he was gunned down and you can see right here there are bullet holes in this car. he was taken to hospital and later declared dead. >> reporter: and this is one of africa's biggest country with electric power and two thirds of the population live without electricity in the homes and part of our series examining the quest to bring electricity to all of africa, mohamed traveled to investigate. >> reporter: this factory

manufacturers electricity meters, the chinese built it but the people do the work and the out put exceeded capacity and they will expose the meters to neighboring countries and they consider itself a pioneer in technology in africa and using the latest version of the geographic information systems, two employees monitor the entire network across the country. a computerized one has replaced the voice and now you can buy bread from the shop and what electricity i need and can afford in the same matter. >> translator: right now we are preparing to export the technology to a number of countries and contracts with yemen and similar deals with chad to provide them with the system. >> reporter: and the progress in quality has not reflected in the lives of many people.

65% of sudan still has no access to electricity and yet there are nearly half a dozen here that was supposed to turn the country into an exporter of an electric car but the present capacity of 1200 mega watts has fallen far short from the mark and this is from ethiopia and people live in the dark like this family who we visited and had to use our camera lights to see around us. >> translator: the problem is very complicated in sudan, if you can pay for a subscription and live in the city you should get the service but they have lots of excuses. >> translator: acquired equipment to reach those who need service is expensive and it's huge and the state pays for the infrastructure and people pay little. >> reporter: they are trying to

meet the needs over the coming years but weak economy and rapid population growth in the cities are making the problem much more of a challenge. al jazeera. >> reporter: and that story and the rest of our day's news and our programs can be found on our website. ukraine. plus an up close look at the explosive danger of delivering oil by rail. plus the bull marketed stocks is now five years old. a look ahead for your investments. i'm ali velshi. this is "real money." ♪ this is "real money." you are the most important part of the show, so join our live conversation for the next half
