every day, 2500 syrians cross the boarder looking for aid, shelter, and all kind of services. the lebanese government and the u.n. agencies say they don't have enough money to provide anymore. not only money, but even the infrastructure inside lebanon is suffering. water resources, electricity, health services, andette occasion. just to give an example, 300,000 lebanese 13 are registers in public schools and we have on top of them 400,000 syrian children. they need to get into schools, but only 100,000 are enrolled. 300,000 syrian children don't have a school to go to. today the 1 million registered refugees came from the old city of homs with his two sisters and his mother. they were evacuated in february. until this day, only until this day he was registered and maybe

in a month he will start receiving aid, but many of the people here have been declined, because the u.n. says it doesn't have enough resources and have to make the painful decision of declining to help those who do need help. >> let's go to egypt now and an audio tape of an interview with former president hosni mubarek, indoorsing general assisi for the presidency. the tape comes as egypt considers introducing tougher security laws following bombings in cairo. we have more. >> university campuses appear to be the new front line in the battle between security forces.

they say it's very likely they may have stopped in the smaller islands just between the short stretch of water between the rest of the philippines and saba. this is not the first time kidnapping has happened, there's a very prominent case in 2000 when th the abu sayef group dide same. this has long been a problem for the philippine government and inurgency a problem for the malaysia government. insurgencies, kidnappings have spilled into this eastern part of malaysia. it is very hard to guard they say because of the short stretch of water. now if we look at the pattern of the group and the way they conduct kidnappings, if this is indeed kidnapping, most likely, number one, there won't be any claims of responsibility and back door negotiations are expected to be underway.

>> every year, a huge part of the indonesian capitol jakarta submerged by floods. the government started a program to halt the deluge. that will first require many people to give up their riverside homes. >> these homes are no match for the river. when the floodwater rises, it sweeps through the ground floor to the ceiling. last time, the entire district was flooded for three weeks. many who live here and the local government have had enough. there are about 900 rivers in jakarta and they all flood. the government wants to widen them. this means people who have lived here their whole life will have to move. she'll be relocated to an apartment building close by. she says the last flood left behind knee high mud.

this won't be enough to solve the problem. >> other than the rivers, we need to fix the drainage system. there isn't enough drainage in jakarta. when it floods, the drains are blocked. >> the sound of the river has been soothing, until it starts rising, then it's terrifying. he says leaving home will be worth it so long as it stops the floods. aljazeera, jakarta. >> let's find out if the weather is going to get better for those in indonesia. >> i think it will. the rainy season is starting to come to an end. the heavier showers are a little further north. you can see jakarta just showing up at the bottom of the map. a few showers certainly a possibility, heavy rains north of that.

further showers across that central area as we go on through the coming days. through either side of the equators. a chance of a shower or two there, just making their way into work. still wet weather in the forecast, but not as much as we have seen recently. further north, we're looking at weather making its way toward the philippines. this massive cloud, sustained winds over 40 kilometers per hour. by monday or tuesday, that could cause problems next week for the weekend, it is looking five and dry. >> across it is middle east, rather stormy weather on wednesday night. over doha, the storms are rattling away. brighter skies coming in behind. we do have showers in the process of clearing south ward, one of two showers just around, but fine, dry and sunny for the weekend once again. >> foreign mining firms in

guinea shut down operations and pulled out from international starts because of the ebola virus. 18 have died from the outbreak. across the border in senegal, people are not leaving anything to chance. we report. >> worry that had someone in this market is infected with the deadly ebola rye russ, most fruits and vegetables are from neighboring guinea. ebola is very contagious spreading from object and skin to skin contact. >> we are losing customers. they know we come from guinea and not as many people are buying from us. >> senegal sealed off its border to contain the virus. >> there is a lively trade center. there is a very significant market which gathers traders

addictive and are reluctant to give it to patients. that is changing. as part of our global series on morphine, we have this report. >> the only thing joyce can talk about is the excruciating head pain. she developed it 10 years ago. doctors suspect it's cancer and will eventually kill her. her son say they can't afford treatment, so make do. >> we went to the hospital and i don't know what medicine they gave her. since then, we have only given her mild pain killers. the pain continues. >> a picture of joyce taken a decade before is barely recognizable. in a developed country, her last years would have been made bearable with morphine, a strong pain killer widely used in the

west. her family showed us this scan from the last time she went to hospital. it's dated 2011. since then, it seems they've given up hope, they don't know what to do and they say they've never heard of morphine. their home is 12 kilometers from the health center and there's no morphine available there. holt care workers don't have the resources to bring it to bedridden patients in the community. >> an hour's drive away, things are slightly better. staff at this charity hospital prepare morphine in liquid form to be taken to patients at home. in many countries, local drugs ban the drug. it still only reaches about 10% of the people who need it. the doctor founded the hospice. she spent 30 years to improve care for terminally ill patients and others in pain across

africa. this year, she was nominated for a nobel peace prize. she told us many are still wary of morphine. >> they think it's addict active and they are afraid to use it. you can train people to lose their fierce and their with colleagues that absolutely won't use it. these are senior colleagues, the senior once are the worst, the ones my age red light worst. >> joyce's family struggles to give her a drink. morphine access is increase, but hasn't reached her yet. she is one of the millions who still have to suffer to the very end. malcolm webb, aljazeera, uganda. >> still ahead, india's most vulnerable will ask my maternal health is taking a back seattle ahead of the national elections. >> in sport, the san antonio spurs extend their franchise

message. we are joined live from new delhi where the party is releasing its manifesto for the election. they can't win it on the anti corruption start, where do they stand on women's rights and unemployment for example. >> other political parties were criticizing them, very strong on trying to cut corruption, trying to name those that were doing the wrong things as they would say in either politics or big business, naming and shaming to a certain extent, yet no real hard facts of how the party would deal with unemployment, the economy, or even health care. i think he has released his manifesto. what they basically tried to do is say that we will decentralize the departments affect your

lives. if you live in a village and the most important thing to you is bad roads or unclean water, or their health care system is failing you, you and your local community will have the power to fund those projects and make sure that they are seen through to the end. to earn extent, those systems are already in place with local councils. the problem there, some would say that they toned vote for those politician that is put them into power. he wants to basically say that the ordinary communities should get a much larger say in who sits on local councils and how the money is spent. he's made very clear disstickses about how the police should be controlled in terms of both investigation and law and order departments being separated and the reforms scheduled back in 1977 should be implemented,

making the police forces independent body not answerable to mole m.p.s or lawmakers, which is what happens now and hence the issue of corruption that police only listen to politics. if you've got the money, you can hide or brush anything under the carpet. whether that resonates at the election is something that we'll have to wait and see, because state elections in december, though they resigned from power, are now hoping that what they stand for will resonate across the country next week when we start to see the first face of general elections. >> i'm sure there is a lot of speculation. any idea who's in front at the moment? >> the local opinion polls saying that the lowered of the field, certainly their annointed candidate will probably get the largest number of seats in the

vote itself, these achievements, although standing on the wave of i can develop the country like i develop, good water, good electricity, good job prospect. the country led in this election are not doing so well certainly in the public persona and suddenly the criticism of an incumbent government is always there. it's always going to be an uphill struggle. we mentioned one of those unknowns, we don't know how well the party is going to do across the country. elections start monday, the seventh of april, it's a six week collection, over 814 million people will go to the polls, the results on may 16th. >> raising many of the issues, another issue is obviously health care high on the agenda, ahead of those elections. each year more than half a

million women die during pregnancy or shortly after childbirth worldwide, a quarter of them are in india. we report from west bengal. >> she's not yet an adult herself, but already a mother. this 7-year-old has just given birth to a baby boy. he was born premature and is now malnourished. >> i don't know what's wrong with him and i have no idea how to get help or where to go. tell me, what should i do? >> the doctor has word in maternal and near natal health care for 30 years. he confirmed that the baby does need your gent medical attention and that his condition is not the mother's fault. >> this is a strong political will on the part of the people

and go hand-in-hand, otherwise this situation will not change. >> the government says it's making progress. >> we have looked in any yo natal care and care for the mother. >> health care shortfalls don't only affect rural parts of the state. the home is just an hour's drive from the capitol calcutta. the importance of health care is obvious in villages like this one, but despite and overwhelming need, health care remains a nine issue for the leading political parties. where the government hasn't been able to help, women have stepped in. because of free health sessions

like this one, around 75% of women from this area now go to hospital to give birth. >> once we educate them, the women realize how backward they are. here women think when babies are born, they're just born thin and become healthy when they grow up. we deal with these kind of misconceptions a lot. >> raising a child i also no small challenge, but for this couple, the task harder because of a lack of knowledge with something the state's health care system isn't able to deliver and that's the one thing that could boost the chances of survival. aljazeera, west bengal. >> a supreme court ruling has struck down limits on campaign donations and elections in the u.s. it means donors have much more freedom in the way they contribute money. that could even open the door for bigger donations. >> this is one of the most influential billionaires in u.s.

politics, his name sheldon adelson. he has just been made much pour powerful by the u.s. supreme court. the justice ruled anyone can give more than $5,000 directly to every congressional candidate in every election, doing away with personal limit, they call it a violation of free speech. billionaires like him are already allowed to give unlimited to outside groups not directly coordinated with campaigns. some say this is the end of fairness in elections. >> this is one more way to give people who make major donations to campaigns just another way of having extra influence. >> aidle son just summoned the top presidential hope was so his casino. he referred to palestinian at occupied territory and

reportedly had to personally apologize. with this decision, he can now influence every congressional candidate, as well. in 2012, he and his wife spent $92 million on the election, a huge amount, but a fraction of the total spending. on the presidential race, $2.6 billion was spentover all. on congressional races, $3.7 billion, outside spending totaled more than a billion dollars. record amounts. this ruling will likely increase to get and is expected to benefit conservatives the most. >> what i think this means is that freedom of speech is upheld. you all have the freedom to write what you want to write, dob nors ought to have the freedom to give what they want to give. >> few can write the kind of checks aidle son can. now he is free to write as many checks as he wants. >> police in australia called

a constellation of an earth-observing system to monitor the environment and security of our planet earth. >> is that what makes it different to other programs are the exploration programs? >> in fact, it is. it is very control presencive, the most comprehensive, most ambitious earth observance prom in the world. nothing comparable exists anywhere in the world. it will be unique, which we are building up here, and it is for the benefit of mankind to really see much better what is happening on earth, and what can be improved in terms of environmental money and use of our natural resources. grave concerns were highlighted about climate change. do you think we'll lush more about what is happening through your program?

>> absolutely. one of the main issues which we are addressing is climate change. in fact with all the six families of satellites we are matching a number of climate bottom terse. for example, sea service temperature, for example, sea level height, melting of the arctic and ice caps and ice coverage, melting of glaciers in the alps. with this system, with much better clarity, we will really gain scientific knowledge on climate change to be better able to predict what's going to happen on our planet. >> exciting stuff. still ahead on aljazeera in sport, we meet the bangladesh women's cricket team and see how they are inspiring girls controls their country. stay with us.
