four hours to reach, and four hours to get back can only spend two hours looking. >> reporter: the plane behind me will be the last to join saturday's search. the aircraft involved will have just 18 hours directly over the search zone. over the ocean while there are high tech kits on military planes people on board are probably more valuable. >> we're looking at plain 'ol eyesight. we're looking at some of the best people at spotting, looking at the window that radar won't find. plastic, seat cushions, tale tell signs of an aircraft crash. >> reporter: they batted away rumors that there are more satellite images than it's revealing or that it's holding anything back. >> is there anything at all that you're saying to other governments privately that

you're not saying publicly. >> we're having discussion with with other governments but i don't think anything of substance has been said between governments that you're not aware of. >> reporter: boats are looking, too. an australian naval vessel are on site. china is sending three ships although they are still days away. if objects are found, and they do come from flight 370 that will explain roughly where the aircraft ended up, but not white. the recording of the final minutes of the co-pilot's communication on the ground, the only remotely unusually thing was the unnecessary repetition of the aircraft flight. it's possible that the where will lead to the why, and that's what this is all about. >> some relatives of the misses passengers confronted malaysian officials. they accused them of ignoring

and neglecting them. the families later held a media conference of their own. we have more from beijing. >> frustrated does not begin to describe how the relatives of the missing planes passengers are feeling here in beijing. they say they're extremely furious of what they see asthma haitian officials of disrespect with show of neglect towards them. it's taken two weeks they say before a special envoy was sent to them to even discuss the situation. and once that envoy was actually here they said they were not allowed to ask any candid questions. >> we will not let the officials leave. the families stayed up through the night to compile a list of questions for them. they left before we had a chance to ask. if they try to run we'll hunt them down. >> prepared statements were read to them, they say, and they were not allowed a free conversation where they felt they were being answered truthfully as the

relatives of these passengers have said that they feel malaysia has been on purpose deceptive, and they know that a lot more is actually being kept from them. now the malaysian officials in beijing did say they had to reserve a bit of information due to security concerns. but the passenger' relatives feel there is a lot more going on than just that. they are meeting with chinese government officials as they try to decide on a more concrete, strong-protest action towards the malaysians because they feel that this show of disrespect is a show of content. >> strikes of a residential part of the city in syria have been reportedly attack.

activists say several people have been injured. j yemen, an up rising againer against the yemeni government ten years ago because they say shi shiite muslims are discriminated. a number of tweets have soared by some 138% since banned in turkey. president gul has been able to tweet and said the block is unacceptable. the turkish government said that it denied court orders. supporters of deposed president morsi are charged of

meted out to them, but nobody is buying that. i fear that egypt is going to deteriorate and maybe even there could be disintegration. >> also on saturday former president hosni mubarak was back in court with his two sons and several of his former aids. they're accused of come polic os to mubarak's regime. the street protests show no sign of ending. three al jazeera journalists have been held in a cairo prison for 84 days. they are accused of having links with an terrorist organization and spreading false news. they will appear in court again on monday.

simferopol. he joins us live. russia has invited crimea to switch sides and become part of the russian military. in reality do they have any choice? >> well, a very difficult situation. these ukrainian soldiers, sailors are stranded in the wrong country. when you talk to them they feel very let down by their government in kiev. they want a clear evacuation plans to leave and others have nonot heard instruction for wee. quite a few are switching over to the russian armies. specifically what is happening this morning, a couple of instances, ultimatums have come and gone and by and large there

has not been bloodshed involved. we do know that another ukrainian army base was overrun by a pro-russian crowd earlier today again thankfully no bloodshed. some smoke grenades thrown, some looting of the ukrainian property, but no one was hurt. that is generally the pattern, intimidation, harassment, and retreat by the ukrainian forces. >> as far as ordinary people are concerned how will daily life change for them now in crimea now that they're effectively russian citizens? >> i think there are big questions about crimea's economic future. it's been part of ukraine for decades. during that time economic ties have built up. we know crimea is very dependent energy wise on electricity. there is a question mark now about crimea. how easy will it be for this

peninsula to survive without ukrainian support, and what sort of resources are the russians going to have to put into crimea in order to make it viable, it in order to make it profitable. those are some of the issues that i've been looking at. >> across the straits from crimea, mainland russia. russian goods come across by ship. for now the only land routes into crimea pass through ukraine. that's why russian president vladimir putin wants to build a bridge here to physically tie crimea to russia. but it will take years to complete and could cost billions of dollars. the port where russian goods come in is called kursh a graveyard of decaying soviet factories and mixed opinions as to whether now things will get better. >> she said she had heard on the news all countries are now

united against russia so she feels an economic down turn. she said salaries will go up. she's happy. her daughter is a graduate, and it's shameful what she earns. we were invited to see a new investment, a plant that brings gas from kazakhstan. the call from russian officials saisaid we're no longer welcomed apparently it's too sensitive. water. the worry in crimea is that 80% of theirs comes from ukraine, and their few resources look rather low. the vast majority of its electricity also comes from there. despite the russian takeover crimea is still vulnerable to

pressure from the government in kiev. economists do not think that crimeukraine will suffer without crimea. >> ukraine owes lots of money for its gas. we must not politicize issues that affect every family here and ukraine. but i do see a problem of potential water shortages for farmers during the summer. >> tourism is crimea's trol traditional strength. but the beaches look sad. these days russians with money prefer to fly to the mediterranean. as for ukrainian tourists, don't expect any this year. russia may find taking crimea was the easy part. making it viable is the new challenge. >> what we heard from crimea is plans to build two new gas

plants which in theory would help make this region self-sufficient and wean it off ukrainian supplies. one of those plants will be in kursh which you saw in my report. another will be in the north. however, even by the new government's admission here they're going to take between three and five years to build. so it is a slow process. and for now like it or not ukraine and crimea and indeed russia are intricately bound to each other, and that's one of the applications of the political and military cries of this region. >> many thanks. european security willer are expected to arrive in the ukraine over the weekend. there is confusion whether they will be allowed in crimea. how quickly will these international monitors be deployed? what exactly are they going to be doing, and to whom will they report?

>> well, the first of them will arrive within hours. the decision was made by the osce on vienna, and they normally deployed. we expect the first contingent to arrive here in kiev by the end of today. that's saturday. more could arrive on sunday, and eventually over a period of days and coming weeks another 400 could come. so we're talking about a possible total contingent of 500 in total. they're going to be deployed in nine areas of ukraine. one presumes that there will be a concentration of them in the eastern provinces. for example, we've had another big demonstration by pro russian supporters in donesk today. that's a hot spot for di di di. how do they answer to? it's a 57-country forum, if you

like. it's a fact finding mission with various roles. what they'll do is take their empirecal data back, and the hope is they will provide an independent and corroborated version of events as opposed to the type of he said-she said propaganda wall going on now. >> does this team, paul, as the u.s. says, have a mandate to work in crimea, the last time they tried to enter crimea shots were fired at the border. >> reporter: indeed, a couple of weeks ago now. i was down there in crimea hoping to meet them on the crimea side. the issue was that the militia who were at point would simply not get them there. and the osce observers were unable to force their way through without putting their own lives in danger.

the issue whether they have a mandate, that's another issue. discussions concluded friday night and basically there is constructive ambiguity. the mandate is basically to deploy the observers to ukraine. well, russia, which is a member of the osce would organize very strongly that crimea is no longer part of ukraine. so although america, the usa, believes the observers should be allowed to go to crimea, i think there will be tight opposition, very firm opposition from russia to allowing the observers past that border control, and down into the peninsula. >> paul, many thanks, live in kiev. saudi arabian banks are the latest to join financial institutions which are refusing to doing business with sudan. al jazeera reports from the

capitol khartoum. >> sudan is an economically significant than that of european counterparts. they have hundreds of thousands of suda sudanese nationals sendy home to their families. they put on a brave face. >> there are some banks meeting with sudan. and that would be enough for the export. >> not everyone is optimistic. >> the situation is bad. it will be impossible to attract serious investors. even existing investors will have to rethink their continued presence here. >> sudan's economic problems have been increasing since 2011

when south sudan separates it with the bulk of the country's oils. now the sudanese pound has weekendeweakening. the continuing sanctions is affecting private and government transactions. the medical supplies is also jeopardized causing shortages in hospital countrywide. they're now increasing calls for a change in policy if sudan is to survive the impact of the sanctions and economic meltdown. >> unless we have a change in government policy and put the interests of the people of sudan first these promis problems wile resolved. >> reporter: the u.s. put i sanctions in place after

terrorism. al jazeera, khartoum, sudan. >> in pakistan two bus us and an oil tanker have collided. 40 people have reportedly been killed and dozens injured. the collision was on a round about in the city of hub. it was explosive because the buss were carrying drums of diesel, oil, and petrol on their roofs. also in pakistan a social worker has embarked upon an historic campaign for women's rights. she has set up the first all-wome-juryga. you may find some of the images disturbing. >> a sick woman who is mourning the loss of her daughter.

her son tries to comfort her. he, too, is overwhelm. his sister was only 12 years old when she was married. now ten years later she's dead, the victim of an acid attack at home. it was a slow painful death. she had made her brother make this recording on his mobile phone before she passed away. she accused of her husband, his mother and his father of attacking her. >> i want them to be burned in the same way i have been burned. >> it was her dying wish. she wanted justice. but in this country how can we as poor people get justice for her? >> reporter: it's a question that does not have a positive answer in a place where women are rarely seen in public. this is a culture in which women's rights are few in number. the case o is shocking but peope here not necessarily surprising. this woman is trying to bring

change by setting up the first ever women's juryga, a trial forum dealing with issues of complaints of garbage to murder. >> i get threatened so many times. even my own family was against me, but i will never give up. i'm determined to see justice for oppressed women here, even if i have to sacrifice my own life for her. >> her juryga has a lawyer, but the judge cleared the girl's husband and his parents of murder. now they're waiting for the appeal hearing. the police have ignored the phone video and the judge was not convinced either. >> i have been trying my very best. this is the video, so what can i do? >> a lone figure mounting a tough campaign for better justice. it would seem she needs more

support if she were to succeed. >> a distinct lack of rain causing problems in south america. let's get the details for immediatologismeteorologist ric. >> when you look at south america you usually get the polar fronts, that line that you can see there and then the showers across the amazon basin. you get the complicated factors that you have two great oceans on either side and then the oriental extended northward. that's the impact. if you look at countries such as colombia and venezuela during the winter months, the so-called winter months they experience less rain than london. and we've seen real issues with drought. you've got a river here. you've got green jungle, yet

you've got these aircraft dropping water on what is an extensive area of drought, some 4,004,0004,000 hecters. once you get further north it remains dry and it will continue that way. and drought affects not only colombia but into part wrestle. >> jamaichave the jamaican polin carrying out murders. >> in 20 minutes into sport we'll look in the uncertain future facing footballers in crimea.

>> more than 500 appeared i in a cairo court. they're facing charges of violent behavior during protests. let's get more on that trial now. we're joined live from copenhagen. good to talk to you once again. about half of them appeared in court today, but one 1,200 people are going on trial. in cairo. how on earth do you try so many people at the same time and how could it be fair? >> you're asking--you're putting your finger on the pulse of the problem. 1200 defendants, the biggest trial in egypt history. 200 today. 500 on tuesday.

human rights organizations doubt very much that the defendants will get a fair trial. remember, the government in egypt are waging all-out war against the muslim brotherhood. what is happening in egypt is very tragic, very sad because egypt remains deeply polarized, deeply divide. more than nine months after the ouster of mohamed morsi, the muslim brotherhood have not backed down. the country remains deeply polarized. and political instability is having a major effect. egypt is traveling a very dangerous road, indeed. >> what happened to the judicialier in egypt then? sorry, i wanted what you wanted to know what you thought about

the independence of the judiciary, and what has happened to it. it seems that they've lost him. we got one answer any way. let's move on. we'll return to ukraine and the european security monitors. there is a question whether they will be allowed in crimea. they worked for security in europe. russia supports their deplo deployment. we have the senior analyst from global insight. she joins us now live from london. what difference will these monitors make on the ground? >> i think its important to have international service who will be able to have their own independent assessment, particularly in eastern ukrainian region why the

situation is quite tense. there could be some clashes between the pro russian protesters and anti-russian protesters. there is also the fear that there are militia groups that are involved with nationalist elements that could arrive in the region and lead to further clashes. that's what russian authorities have been suggesting. the idea is to have international monitors who would be able to have an objective and independent assessment of the situation. >> but they're not a conflict resolving organization, are they. who do they report to, and does their opinion really matter?

>> it's an international organization but also includes the u.s. for example, russia, france and u.s. oversee conflicts. they have found times of compromised solution to conflicts. >> do they have a deterrent influence on the ground? >> well, because the size of the organization and the number of monitors they're not necessarily deterring. they do have the element, but i think the idea is that u.n. and u.s. are also involving amongst other things the sanctions that we've seen against russia. these are all parts and parcel of why their initiative by the west to try to contain russia

movement, or fears that may be in the region. >> they won't pray play a vitae of resolving the conflict. they are auseful in recording the information, recording what happens. >> as i said, really what can bite russia, so oh to-to-speak, and have a greater influence is when we look into the economic sanctions that u.s. and e.u. are still not ready to roll out. a series of serious economic sanctions, trade embargoes that really have not been rolled out yet. there have been indications from the decision makers there is a safe approach to sanctions, and it would also depends on the

movements of russian military on the ground. here osce is quite important in that it would be reporting to the e.u. decision makers as to what has been happening in terms of what ha is happening on the ground. >> a ban on same-sex marriage in the state of michigan has been scrapped. it was overturned by a federal court judge after a lawsuit by a lesbian couple. they said that the ban discriminated against their constitutional rights. >> they have been asked to send a police officer to the rio de janeiro. on thursday a suspected drug gang set fire to police posts. this brings questions about the

security ahead of the world cup. more than 5 million people evacuated from their home and it happened in the city of brethre buenaventura. >> he has many struggles raising 11 children, but none of them as big as the daily risk of them being targeted by gangs. >> i live in constant fear because nobody knows what will happen to them. the gang members killed her husband and tried to take her daughters. when she resisted they raped her instead. >> it hurts. i can't help but worry about the boys and girls in our community. boys are recruited through intimidation and fear. >> gangs are like savages. when he rejected to join he had

to run away. >> they would offer me 30 pesos to kick somebody's dog down. they would tell that's we could steal money from a person if we wanted. >> reporter: his story is a common one. 80% live in poverty and lack services. they are fertile grounds for gangs where violent fighting continue to control the territory. the children are on the front line. there is no doubt young people in buenaventura have to overcome huge challenges. one quarter of them never go to school. of those who do they graduate to unemployment. few go to special schools that

offer trades like building furniture. when they leave the odds are stacked against them. the government needs to go beyond security measures. the police presence has been reinforced but they need better job comprehensive plans. without such a plan the most vulnerable will continue to be left behind. al jazeera, buenaventura. >> in jamaica they're looking at the rising number of people killed by police. human rights campaigners have called on the government to put an end to the excessive use of force. >> police officers on patrol. armed with heavy weapons without warning they search everyone

they suspect of carrying drugs and guns. >> there is a stigma, the police are not here to help them. >> because of killings like this one. an officer shoots dead an apparently unarmed man. 250 people killed last year and each year the number is rising. gunned down days before christmas. his girlfriend said police killed the innocent with impunity. >> i don't think nothing is going to come out of this. >> leslie says they were at the barber when the police raided the neighborhood after a fellow officer was killed nearby. after his haircut, he came here to use the bathroom. when he walked out there were up to 15 policemen. they were all masked, and they shot him dead. hundreds of killings are being

reviewed by a new independent commission. that leaves fresh allegations of organized squads being directed to kill. former senior officer spent 40 years on the front line. he was investigated and acquitted for his role in multiple murders. he said in such a violent society police must outbegun the criminals. >> if guys are so reckless, so careless, so dangerous to take on the society and the police force, if they are shot and killed in circumstances, mind you, they have only themselves to blame. >> a witness to his father's killing, he has another talked about it. he and his mother want answers but they may have to wait. >> there is no justice.

>> in over 2500 killings by police in the last 15 years. just two officers have been convicted. al jazeera, jamaica. >> an environmental crisis is unfolding in iran. the lake was once the largest in the middle east, but it is now rapidly drying up. we have more on what is being done to try to save this ancient lake. >> it used to draw holiday makers in the thousands. they would come from everywhere. now the ancient lake is almost empty, the tourists gone. around the lake the bungalows are abandoned. the once colorful resort a ghost town. the village opposite is the same. they used to be in the tourist

business will you left it long ago. >> compared to the past when the lake wasn't dry it is totally different. when there was water there were many tourists and everything was flourishing. there was enough income. we even had no water shortage for agriculture. if the water did not exist would we could here? of course not. the lake dried, people stopped coming, and we lost our income. >> iran's environmental organization say there are many reasons why it's disappearing. government and water mismanagement and lack of rain are the main causes. the creation of the dam nearby is another. and this bridge effectively divides the lake in two. there is just 5% of the water left and it's eight times saltier than sea water. it's nothing short than an environmental disaster, but they warn it could get worse. when the water dried up it left

behind all of this salt. when the wind blows it creates salt storms. and it's exactly what is plowing into neighboring villages and towns. that's put the region's agriculture and economy at stake. then there are the economic logical effects on narrow's wildlife. they are already obvious. the lake used to be full of migratory birds. but now it's not. the government is trying to save it. it has 19 plans to do so, and has brought in japanese experts to help. >> the situation did not happen in one day, and it's not something that can be reversed in the day or even one year. even if we start now it's very optimistic that we could see an improvement in the next three to five years. in my opinion one of the most important keys in saving the lake are the people who live in the vicinity. >> reporter: back in the village

the local kids have turned the abandoned boats into toys. but this boy tells us he just wants the water to come back to find out what it's like to play in the lake. al jazeera, northwestern iran. >> just ahead we'll take a ride on a bike. not just any bike. these are handmade in japan by a mastercrafts man. and in sports we'll have action from cricket's twenty20 tournaments as india resumes their rivalry with pakistan.

>> time now for sports. >> reporter: arson vengers with some of the bizarre scene. he's thhis arsenal team concedel just five minutes. things going a bad to worst. a player sent off after it was chamberlain who committed the offense. the spot kick to make it 3-0. it got worse. just a few minutes away it's chelsea 4, arsenal 0. they'll travel without van persie.

he could miss the rest of the season. and liverpool are traveling to cardiff. >> so the pressure doesn't change. every single game. these are the games that we've relished. >> reporter: after a surprise defeat on friday, they look to go one better at the african champions league. right now they play in zambia, it's goalless at halftime. it comes a day after they were fined by fifa. still goalless in the match. now one consequence of the ongoing uncertainty in crimea is being felt by the region's two football teams. they could find themselves in

the russian premiere league by the end of the year. >> reporter: football players of the crimea club. they are not just teammates but spend most of their free time together as well. mutual support is very important to them especially these days in crimea. they coming here three years ago from croatia saying it has not been good. >> especially for foreigners because we don't know what is happening. we read in newspapers, and it wasn't pleasant. when russian vehicles came with armored vehicles and when you see armed men on the streets, you know how it is. we don't have that in croatia now. it wasn't pleasant at all when you're in a foreign country and you don't understand many things. >> he has been playing for more than three years. he said his parents are more

worried about the soldiers and weapons in crimea than he is. >> our families worry much more than us even though we tell them that everything is okay. they can't find peace with that. they read newspapers and watch tv and that makes them worried. >> reporter: they say when the crisis got worse the club helped a lot. >> i can't say that foreigners here are panicking. we had a meeting with our coach and we asked about everything that we wanted to foe. it's not panic. we just wanted to talk. people from our club told us that they will find the best solution and we're 100% safe from there. >> reporter: teams have stopped playing in crimean leagues, but no one knows what will happen with football. >> that is one difficult question and i don't know the answer. for me simferopol will just stay simferopol. >> our rivals are in the same

situation. where we go, they will, too. >> as for these three guys they say their future is with the simferopol football team. >> in cricket, new zealand and england are just getting their twenty20 campaigns under way. england batting first, they're 10-1 going in the third over. scry lane catwo teams are in a g group, five will go through to the semifinals. now india started their tournament with a comprehensive win over pakistan on friday after this seven-wicket win. hitting the winning runs in this one. pakistan still out a win against india in any limited over world cup game. >> i think anyone playing world cup. i think it has had the momentum

for us. there are still three more games to go. >> australia captain george bailey has down played any advantage his team may have going in their game against againspakistan on sunday. pakistan will be king for redemption now after that loss against india. >> we don't have an advantage. it will be fresh for us, we'll have to adjust very quickly. secondly, i really want to put a name--i think they're all dangerous. >> world number two adam scott has tightened his grip on arnold palmer's invitational in florida. the australian moving in the seven-shot lead. started the round three shots

ahead before more than doubling his advantage with a four and par. and it's the biggest halfway lead on the pga tour in nearly 24 years. in the nba the nets have extended their winning streak to 11 games beating the boston celtics. johnson was instrumental with 27 points. the nets have now moved within one game of the chicago bulls and four spots in the eastern conference playoff. the defending champion andy murray overcome a wobbly start after an early scare coming through with three sets to beat australia's matthew egdon. other second round winners. there are plenty more sports on our website. check out www.aljazeera.co

www.aljazeera.com/sport. okay, more for later. that is it for now. >> many thanks, indeed. mastercrafts men in japan are known for samurai swords, but how about handmade bikes. >> the day winds down and he nations his way to his workshop. in his basement scattered with self made machinery and melt dust some of japan's finest bicycles are built by hand by this one man. >> as i work i have an image of a bicycle in my mind that i would want this person to ride. that elements the foundation for everything. >> nagasawa learned his skills in italy, but he joins the tubes

with tiny slivers of melt whose beauty is only matched by its strength. this is a man with little use with false modesty. >> in terms of passion there is a difference between nagasawa and the rest. and if i am different, then i should go all the way, go my way. >> on the race circuit dozens do. he made his name as a frame builder on these tracks with huge success in the 1980's. keneta has ridden his bikes for more than 0 years. 0--for than 20 years. >> each frame is different. >> but for nagasawa everything is a hit and he wants us to ride it. that's his style.

>> he relies on gambling, not ticket sales. >> if the bikes have a retro feel then so does the support in all the attempts to broaden the appeal, it remains something of an old man's game. if nagasawa is worried about that, it doesn't show. >> it makes me happy when they come back for repair. i will fix and make them beautiful again. i sent it out in the world 30 years ago, and it came back. >> he said he has gone all the way through the ranks of bike builders, apprentice, expert, past maestro, and all the way back. osaka, japan. >> the latest on the day's top stories straight heard on al jazeera. that will do it for this news

>> good morning. i'm morgan radford live in new york city. here are the top stories we're following for you right now. an international team of monitors is on its way to ukraine in an attempt to de-escalate tensions, but they're not sure if they'll be allowed into crimea. russian president vladimir putin signed the bill essentially making crimea a part of the russian federation ban ki-moon will arrive in ukraine for talks tomorrow. searchers have found debris off the
