al >> this is al jazeera. >> hello and welcome to the news hour. i'm in doha. here's what's coming up in the next 60 minutes. grief and anger but finally, some certainty. we now know the missing malaysian jet came down in the southern indian ocean. 529 people sentenced to die in egypt. the biggest mass death sentence in modern history. hello there i'm felicity

barr in london. a g7 meeting cancelled. a thrilling ticket at the world 2020 championship. action from bangladesh coming up later in the program. >> hello, malaysia's prime minister has announced that the missing plairve airline malaysit went down in the southern indian ocean. there is no doubt none of the passengers survived. >> based on the new analysis,

aaid have computed that mh 370 flew along the southern corridor and that its last position was in the middle of the indian ocean west of perth. this is a remote location.far from any possible landing site. it is therefore with deep sadness and regret that we must inform you that according to this data, life of 370 ended in the southern indian ocean.

>> while the news ends hope for the relatives of the missing most of them are from beijing, that's where margot ortigas has been following the situation. >> an hour before the prime minister of malaysia made the news public that the flight was indeed lost somewhere over the south indian ocean. this is news that the relatives here had been waiting two weeks to not hear. they had been holding onto the hope that possibly the plane was hijacked or gone down in a spot due to technical difficulties. they were really really trying to hold onto that, possibly the relatives on that flight might still be alive. this is the last thing they wanted to hear. still in the meeting with malaysian officials. some people are inside fainting quite chaotic right there. some of the relatives have

tetched -- stepped out of the conference room, saying they needed to breathe, this is the last thing they wanted to hear. >> here is what we know about the flight of mh 370. it last made contact over the south china sea halfway between malaysia and vie vietnam. it then turned by itself, turned towards south indian ocean, the search is 200,000 kilometers off the west coast of australia,. >> first light on monday i was one of those aboard an australian military aircraft that took off and flew across the vast nothingness of the indian ocean. what is believed mh 370 crashed. we looked at some kind of

object. nothing out there on the water. it's hard to explain how empty the views from a window of a plane like that are. at least four, possibly five objects were by crew on the plane i was on. it could easily signify something. now markers were dropped down, smoke billows from the ocean so that the other planes in the area and the ship in the area could find where these objects were. get up close to them, examine them, see if they came from mh 370, the fact that we now know that is where the aircraft came down of course makes it that much more likely that those objects were from that plane and of course makes it more likely that is where more wreckage will be found. >> other news now, a court in egypt has handed down the biggest mass death sentence in modern history. 529 people accused of being leaders and supporters of the muslim brotherhood have all been convictand sentenced to death --

convicted and sentenced to death. hashima albara reports. >> relatives in shock moments after the verdict was announced. it's the largest number of people to be sentenced to death by egypt in world history. the 529 defendants many of them supporters of a deposed president mohamed morsi were accused of killing one police officer, seizing government weapons and damaging property when a police station in the town of matai south of cairo was attacked . it happened last august. at a time egyptian security forces carried out raids on two large antimilitary protests sites in cairo. hundreds of people were killed leading to riots in other parts of the country.

defense lawyers said they had been given no time to review trial documents. when the verdicts and sentences were read out, the defense lawyers were band from the courtroom. they criticized the ruling of presiding judge sahid yuossef. >> the trial, out of the 118 defendants only 68 appeared in the court. while the rest were detained in the central prison. the presiding judge seemed angry and decided to hand down the judgment in two days time. >> the. >> fairness which is a right enshrined in the criminal code was absent in this case. >> reporter: the verdict is shown as a sign of the government's widening crack down on opposition voices, especially part of outlawed muslim

brotherhood. most of the defendants are from upper egypt a conservative tribal area where blood feud rus run deep. hashima barra, al jazeera. . joining us from dallas specializes in middle eastern law at texas central university. some people are saying after the second session, the sentence was handed down to 529 people, death sentences. yes. this is a highly problematic case. as you saw with all the reports, this is unusual even by egyptian standards which is usually not the top example of due process rights. and so what you have here is defendants who didn't even get a chance to put forth exculpatory

evidence in their own case . you also have a death sentence which is a very serious sentence that was given before the third hearing which is very unusual in egypt. and so i think this creates an appearance of impropriety and politicization of this trial and really questions whether there's an independent judiciary in egypt. >> what is the likelihood if any of any appeal? because we do understand that the defendants intend to appeal this. >> they will have the right to appeal and it's reported they will likely have this decision reversed, although there is no guarantee. however, the decision itself sends a chilling message to any dissident, not only those belonging to the muslim brotherhood, if you protest in any way you may be facing the death sentence. and there's also the problem of if it does get reversed, if it is sent back to the same judge, we don't know if the same outcome will be produced.

>> sahad, there's also we understand another trial on tuesday, in egypt, where more than 600 members of the muslim brotherhood will be going on trial. i mean does what happened today set some sort of precedent? >> oh, absolutely. i think that it questions the entire legitimacy and neutrality of the process. and i think that if you do not have a judicial system that is perceived as legitimate and perceived as neutral arbitrators then you are going to be pushing people into the streets and into using violence as opposed to resolving their disputes in court. but when courts single-handedly issue out death sentences which is the most severe penalty one can get in a criminal court without even allowing the defendants to bring forth their evidence in their defense, that sends a chilling message about

the state of rule of law in egypt. that is not what the january 25th revolution was about. that is not why people went out on january 25th and on june 30th to call for democracy and freedom and justice for all egyptians, regardless of their political ideology. >> sahad aziz, thank you very much for joining us in dalai lama, texas. dallas, texas. also in egypt the trial of three al jazeera journalists who have been in trial for almost three months has been adjourned again. anita mcnaught reports. more prosecution arguments in the egyptian government's case against the journalists. they are accused ever producing false news. it's the first time egypt's prosecuted journalists, on false

charges. generosity they spoke to the media. >> the word terrorist is a big word that could end the future of anyone. it is not acceptable to classify someone as a terrorist. mohamed has no link to terrorist or any groups. these are false accusations. >> we have been shouting all along that he would have no part to play in any terrorism. >> the yowrnts spent the entire -- the jowrnlt journalist the entire hearing in cages. mohamed fahmy shoulder injury has worsened in jail. baher mohamed is only allowed to see his wife and children once per week. peter greste'peter greste's fams

commuting from london. promising the are trial is run efficiently. >> i stress and reiterate the independence of the egyptian judiciary. i'm sure your son will enjoy all the rights as guaranteed and cherished by the law. i have directed the interior minister to follow up on your son's health condition and stress that all possible care must be extended to him. >> the prosecution has not finished presenting its evidence and witnesses but defense lawyers were able to cross examine them. the trial has been adjourned until march 31st. abdalla al shami has been held without trial, he is now on hunger strike. anita mcnaught, al jazeera. >> 25 years after the exxon

valdez oil disaster. the impact on the can a alaskan wildlife. train derails in chicago and crashes into an escalator. and in sports the race against doping. how kenya's reputation for world class runners has been hit by a series of failed drug tests. but first, more than 100 people are missing after a mudslide in the u.s. state of washington. rescue teams are continuing their search for survivors but nobody has been found alive since saturday. allen schauffler is live for us from arlington, in the state of washington. you were saying there were 18 people unaccounted for and now it's more than 100. >> reporter: well, the number

is a little bit squishy right now. they're saying 18 unaccounted for, that was as of this morning. we're now being told that they have 108 separate reports or descriptions of people who may be missing. they say very specifically that doesn't mean that they have 108 people who are missing. but they have a whole series of different databases and lists of people who have been reported who might have been in this area that they're now trying to condense and solidify so they can get an exact number. frankly they say they don't know exactly how many people might have been in that area and at this point they're just trying to nail it down. they did tell us today that it's a very grim situation. officially, publicly, they're still in rescue mode. but it's been 36 hours since they pulled anyone out of that slide area alive and in fact 36 hours since they heard anybody crying for hope in that zone that was inundated by 15 million

cubic yards of earth that came crashing down out of the cascade mountain foothills, across a river, across a state highway and into an entire neighborhood. 30 homes damaged or destroyed. seven homes now flooding upstream because this is completely blocked the river. upstream of where i'm standing. and there are some homes that are flooding with very low rising waters at this point. downstream, the news is good. it doesn't appear that there's going to be any catastrophic flooding. the river is finding its way through that earthen dam caused by the slide. river levels are coming near regular level. the story here dorin the search continues. >> yeah sounds like it does. okay allen we'll leave it there, and thank you for the update. allen schauffler reporting from

virginia. g7 meeting the hague. felicity barr from london has more. >> a g8 conference in june will not be held. simon mcgregor wood is here to report. so the g8 meeting will not take place. what else? >> this day was established months ago, to be a summit on nuclear security. but as soon as president obama convened this informal g7 get together which has happened in the last hour, we knew that it would be the ukrainian crisis that rather overshadows events did. up for discussion in that meeting was clearly whether or not at the g7, the pointed snub

to the russians not being invited, was going to be staying the g7, whether russia would be kicked out permanently or temporarily. the american president, barack obama was taking a strong point on that advocating the permanent exposure from the g8. we don't know if he won out that argument. possibly more reluctantly members, the italians or the germans, the british prime minister did confirm the plans to host the next summit in the russian city of sochi had certainly been deremained. >> we need to send a very clear message to the russian government and president putin that it would be completely unacceptable to go further into ukraine and that would trigger sanctions from the eu from the u.s. and other countries as well

and we need to be very, very clear about that. >> russian foreign ministers have now holding other talks. we is hear what sergey lavrov had to say. >> we believe there should be a master form in the constitution of ukraine. we can't force ukrainian leaders the do that but that's our assessment of the situation that they're facing now. and this way we believe it would be possible to avoid a huge ukrainian crisis. also i've component to the acting -- spoken to the acting foreign minister of ukraine, establish normal dialogue that would include all regions of ukraine and all of its citizens. >> and sergey lavrov didn't seem bothered by attempts to isolate his country. >> no, and just to mention that press conference he gave, that briefing he gave just a few moments ago, was if aftermath of

what might be have been a break through, he had just sat down with his opposite number the ukrainian foreign minister, that was significant because so far the russians haven't been really willing to sit down in any senior forums with members of this current administration in kiev and he was commenting about those discussions. further on a bit later perhaps anticipating the g8 meeting and very dismissive about it, as far as we're concerned the g8 time is gone, paraphrasing, if they do kick us out, i don't think we'll care that much. a defiant tone as if he's examining the worst from the g8. >> simon thank you. follows orders from kiev for ukrainian forces to yield to

russian forces. are this one in theodecea was the latest to fall. return to the mainland by a special corridor although some have chosen to stay. >> arwe know the names of almost all the commanders who have signed a contract with the russian federation. i won't tell you their names because they don't deserve being mentioned but they represent around 50%. >> now ukraine faces the task of roofinremoving about 25,000 sols from the crimea. nick spicer has the story. >> bringing home the ukrainian soldiers off the peninsula of crimea. it is estimated about 25,000 people may need to be moved. that is to say the soldiers and

their families. they need to be housed and they need to be continue to be compensated. however, a lot of the soldiers have been accepting the russian offer to join the russian army and get better pay. some may be staying here but a difficult decision for all of the soldiers. some of the commanders are still not being heard from. they're being detained by the russians. there are questions of protocol should they be able to leave with their side arms in a dignified manner or should they seem to be defeated without their side arms. big decisions by ukrainian soldiers. decisions in kiev, bring the troops home, not all of them will be going to the mainland. the aring logistics, the hardwae

still belong to the ukrainian people. >> the far right national front makes gains in france, prompting tactical moves by the somebodyists. socialists. 32 people were injured when a train derailed at one of america's biggest airports. the commuter train jumped the tracks and moved up an escalator at o'hare airport in chicago. it's not clear how fast the train was going or what caused it to jump the tracks. >> massive oil spill, barge carrying almost 4 million liters of crude is leaking oil after it collided. birds and nearby wildlife sanctuary are under threat. it is this 37th that people living in alaska know too well.

a quarter of a century ago, one of the largest oil spills ever happened on their shore when the exxon valdez ran ground. daniel lack on the lasting effects. >> beachg were fouled -- beaches were fouled. clean up and the court case he went on for years. a quarter century after the unthinkable happened, waters look clean again, the scenery as snren did as ever but -- splendid as ever but problems remaim. thousands lost livelihoods as fish stocks collapsed. bob lynnford left the beaches but then he fell ill. years later it took a transplant to restore his health. >> i got what turned out to be

an autoimmune disease, aplastic a19 ya, two or three other -- anemia, two or three other issues from that. >> she came to us with her umbilicus still present. >> dr. pam twomey sais these captivating ds says these captivating animals are recovering in the wild. this is exxon valdez crude oil collected 25 years after the date. >> they're still finding oil on shore. rick steiner worked on the exxon valdez disaster, now he helps clean up spills around the world. he has learned that petroleum transport is risky. >> all of human history up until

that date. it's pretty stunning. so we've got to get better at using oil more efficiently, and transitioning to a low carbon sustainable energy economy. >> until that happens, those who live in this spectacular place can't help but worry about another spill. the wreck of the exxon valdez did lead to safer shipping here but with ill effect still lingering and the demand for oil growing in every day, the disaster remains in the minds of many. daniel lack, off the shore of alaska. for al jazeera. >> riot police move in to clear hundreds of student demonstrators in taiwan. coming up in sport, why christiano oraldo is claiming

al jazeera news hour. relatives on board the missing malaysia airlines jet are reacting with grief and anger after being told i it went downn the southern indian ocean. an egyptian court has handed down death sentences to 529 people accused of being leaders and supporters of the muslim brotherhood. it is the biggest mast death sentence in modern history. and britain's prime minister says a planned g8 summit due to take place in russia won't go ahead. nuclear summit in the hague. (t) confirmation that the missing malasian airliner went down in the southern b indian ocean. good to have you with us ross. so the malaysian prime minister

made the announcement that the plane did go down in the southern indian ocean. he said the conclusions were based on new analysis of satellite data by a company called inmersat and u.k. aviation investigators. did anything he said convince you what happened to that flight? why it steered off path? >> you know as long as we don't have any shred of solid evidence, for example, piece of aircraft and one of the flight or data recorders we cannot for sure come up with a conclusion. however, this may verify some of the original thoughts, obviously, as a so-called expert i cannot bring my gut feelings into this. but originally, i was thinking about a possible fire on board. that would that would coincide with the turn theory, with the

radios dropping off the transponder dropping off. that is a possibility. because we're trained to -- if in case of a fire, or decompression, we need to get down from altitude as fast as possible. therefore, getting off that airway where that aircraft was on, and that would coincide with that left turn that everybody is talking about. >> that's why you're saying that sharp left turn was made and the flight reportedly dropped down to 12,000 feet at one point. >> that's correct. if that is true, that basically coincide with the theory of possible in-flight fire, where unfortunately, the crew and passengers may have perished and the aircraft flies on its own, until it runs out of fuel, or it basically schooled by fire. >> ross, let me ask you this though. back to the company, inmersat

that released this data that the malasian prime minister was talking about, why do you think it's so long for this to be released? apparently it is based on data based on satellite pings. >> you know, that is the very important question. we have been wondering because as you know, we have a very short window of opportunity, where the -- the transponders on the voice and data recorder will stop pinging. so we only have about a 30-day window to discover those. if they are in the bottom of the ocean. i'm wondering why do they have to wait so long to produce this information? but what it is, they should have, from day 1, this is way beyond the capability of a small country, emerging country like malaysia. they should have come to one of

the superpowers and say you handle this, and they could have, any of the superpowers, they could have come in with massive logistics, and technology, to perhaps find these. so it is very, very late, i'm afraid. it might be late. but at least, we have some sort of perhaps credible position of this airplane. >> okay, ross, thank you for being on al jazeera. >> my pleasure. >> embassies have closed around the world because of walkoff. part of a long running pay dispute. israel's government has condemned the dispute as irresponsible. pakistan beyond the attack on kabul.

nine were shot debt at the serene last week. afghanistan blames pakistan's secret police at planning it. earlier a cousin of president bashar al-assad was killed. trying to fight back against advances by government forces. bernard smith reports. >> reporter: in the heart land of a region where syria's president has one of his most loyal followers, killed more than 130 regime and rebel fighters, that's according to the syrian observatory for human rights. last functioning border post from turkey to slip from the control of bashar al-assad's

regime. the assad family's ancestral home land. killed was hilal assad, a cousin of the president. rebel attacks are minor in terms of territory but their psychological boost, gaining ground in recent weeks. and in aleppo, antigovernment force he have seized control of the hill west and northwest of aleppo. but government forces are making advances to the east of aleppo. they have now reached the edges of sheik najar in the northeast. cut off a route between aleppo city and the northern country side. bernard smith, al jazeera. >> in france the ruling socialist party is joining forces to stop the far right from daig control of more than -- taking control of more

than a dozen french towns. let's go back to felicity. >> second round of local election he, it follows a surprisingly strong performance by the national front which even the party leader herself described as amazing. katherine stansill reports. >> a test of president francois hollande's popularity. most of those did cast their ballots for opposition or for the far right, a slap in the face of hollande and the ruling socialist party. 37% of the vote compared to 47% for opposition forces. made big strides, securing 5% support, and taking control of a former socialist bastion in the north.

>> translator: analyzing those odds it shows the return of the national front in the big cities. i have good reason to congratulate myself after these first round of results. >> reporter: to head off the national front the socialists say they will join forces with the greens and the party. the french prime minister is appealing to the parties to close ranks. >> in a few towns, all who support democracy have a duty to do so. >> the increasing popularity of the national front, hollande has approval ratings around 19%. high taxes and national disappointment. >> people just rejected the socialist party at all. i don't think he can respond truly to the opinion of french

people. >> it's a logical results in regards to how people here feel. support for the national front is quite dangerous for future. i think now the socialist party is paying for its denial of reality. >> reporter: so the next six days will see all parities rallying voters for their support. >> i'm joined from paris by jean yifyeefsyves kamus. credit. >> saying this vote was mostly against the policies of the governmental government which is made up of the socialist party and the green party but also

when it comes to issues like immigration or national identi identity, or what can be islam in france has becomin becoming increasinglingly conservative, increasingly right wing. you are saying we should close the door, there should be end to debate. even when sarkozy was president, it was a threat to the values of the so-called je judeo-christian society. both a vote against a weak president and a week prime minister and a vote that shows that france is becoming increasingly to a multicultural are society.

>> marie la pen said it was the stop to a two-party france. 630,000 municipalities in france, how can she consider the two-party politics is over now? >> marie la penne said yesterday that this was the end of the partisan policies, politics in france. she's partially wrong because we have nothing here in france like really bipartisan system like in the united states for example. every time a major party has been in government, it has minor parties which were part of the coalition. the socialist parties is ruling the coalition and the conservative party, ump, also rode with the coalition.

the problem is the nation of france is the only political party in france which has never been into power since it started as a political party back in 1972. so many voters think that the ump, the conservative right nv socialist party are almost the same and this now we should at least try the form because it is the only alternative to the present party system. >> really good to talk to you. that is jean yves kamus. let's take you back to doreen in doha. >> thank you felicity. occupying government buildings in a trade deal against china. rob moore has moor. >> out on the streets for another night of protest

surrounding the parliament building that students have now been occupying for nearly a week. and despite the violence the night before, many students said they were more determined than ever. >> i really cannot believe this. the harder the government hits us the harder we just stand up for ourselves. >> reporter: late on sunday around 200 people stormed past riot police and took over the main cabinet building. that's when the authorities stepped in arresting some people and according to witnesses hurting others. >> someone on my left side who was dragged away was hit, my right side, the very man who helped me was dragged by his hair. it is very clear there is excessive use of force in enforcing the law. glur taiwanese. >> -- >> reporter: taiwanese president, urged protesters the

benefits of opening up to china. >> the approval of the trade pact is to open taiwan's market to mainland china further, young people have big dreams, we should not restrict them in taiwan. we should allow them to go into a bigger market. >> but protesters think the ruling party kmt are to pro-china. would allow beijing to have greater political control over taiwan. they say a push of the ruling party to get parliament to agree to it is illegal. >> without having a full review which was agreed upon, the kmt is assured of a victory. >> reporter: while the possibility of the new trade pact remains, so say the protesters will their opposition

to it. given the highly divisive nature of the relationship with main lain china, many people with china's opening economic might, closer integration with its neighbor could see taiwan losing its distinctive identity. goal of the season coming out of australia.
