[ singing ] ..live at the vatican, where pope francis is leading easter celebrations. >> divers in south korea are recovering more bodies from the submerged wreck of the ferry disaster. the number of people confirmed to have died has rich above 60. more than 200 others are missing. let's join our correspondent covering this, adrian brown. he is in jindo. we saw the death toll rising again in the past hour. >> that's right. it now stands at 58, more than

twice what it was this time yesterday. i think we have reached the stage where we'll see the confirmed death toll mount significantly in the coming 24 hours or so. this is a reflection of the fact that divers have been object get into other ors of the -- other areas of the submemoryinged -- submerged vessel. they believed most of the people they had hoped would survive would be. it's really turned into a recovery operation. bodies have been brought back by coast guard vessels running between the shore. carried ashore in a sombre procession and taken to a morgue where they are identified by family members. here, close to where the names of dead have been tabulated. they have descriptions of children which they goept have a name for.

what they put down is items of a belonging that were found with a child. occasionally there'll be a shout, a gasp, a scream as someone recognises the fact that that beloppings to their child. harrowing scenes, and it's the beginning. outside we saw an unpleasant clash between police and around about 100 family members who are trying to march from the island cross the bridge to a mainland, where they hope to take the protest all the way to the president in sole. what they are worried about is the bodies are not being taken out of the water. they worried that the bodies will decompose. a few days ago they held hope that the children will be alive. now all they hold out hope for is that they get their body

back. the anger is being compounded by what prosecutors are saying in seoul. the third mate was at the helm of the vessel when the accident happened, not the captain, and that she was also apparently very inexperienced and never navigated the very difficult currents before. the captain has, of course, been arrested, along with two crew members, and have been charged with violating maritime law and enjoys. i think that prosecutors will be trying to determine whether the third mate perhaps steered the vessel to making a violent turn, which in turn caused the vessel to simplest dangerously. >> adrian brown reporting live from jindo. thank you very much. >> the government in south sudan says it sent soldiers across the country to secure bases be longing to the united nations. the decision follows an attack on the u.n. compound in the town

>> i don't think there was any question about that. demonstrators pulled out their weapons. upon doing so we realised there would be an altercation, that civilians would be in danger and action was necessary. >> the complexion changed. peacekeepers came under attack. we are into the fifth month of this conflict. the violence shows no sign of ending. >> gunmen opened fire on a police patrol car in the egyptian capital, killing an officer and soldier. they were attacked whilst patrolling the road. armed men stepped up assaults sips a military -- since a military coup. >> ham di is seen as a rival to former chief abdel fattah al sisi. sunday is the last day for the

been blocked from taking part. >> christian pilgrims marking easter. among the pilgrims were christian palestinians, a group dwindling in size, but increasingly obsessed. a group of christians from jerusalem, of various denominations filed a complaint with the israeli high court. they demanded better treatment from the israeli police and access to the holy site. >> they claimed to observe and peeping the only democracy in the middle east. the only place where christians are thriving. we don't feel that in jerusalem, and over the past few years, since 2005, it's been progressively getting worse. >> it's discrimination. this video shows police

preventing palestine dignitaries and diplomats entering the old city. despite having had prior approval. at the same time you see that the jewish worshippers are allowed freedom of access. what is happening. why can the christians and muslims not get to the holy places, but the jewish can. the court ordered police to give the pilgrims better access. >> thousands of jews, christians and muslims flocked to the city. that number grows on holy and sacred days. children from all over the region and world try to make it to jerusalem. because of this the police say they have to have restrictions for the safety of all pilgrims. >> the police do not discriminate between foreigners and local residents. we are talking about numbers. whether it's people, local or

they can enter into the city and try to lower the attacks. after many clashes, and bombing on the city, the troops go back to their bases without making any progress on the ground. >> if i can jump, it sounds unstable. i want to the know do you have the parliamentary election in iraq. is a vote going to be able to be held there. >> the city of fallujah. we don't believe that it will happen. the city of fallujah is surrounded. they will not let the election happen inside the city. they also have the people,

preventing them from public speaking. there is some areas by the city, 45km from the city of fallujah. maybe the election will happen. and the city of ramed ardy, there are many parts of the city have clashes between the army and the - the armed men. we not believe the election will happen. >> mohammed joins us from fallujah. thank you for the updade on the situation in -- updating us on the situation in iraq. >> 14 soldiers in algeria have been killed in a patrol in the mountai mountains. they were ambushed in the north. it's not clear who carried out the attack. it's the worst act against the

have taken, obviously, advantage of the situation, the situation that after the win of abdelaziz boutefika. the whole machine was mobilized, but after abdelaziz boutefika, there was a little relaxation in terms of vigilance. this is a huge blow, and the terrorists used heavy - 14 people were ambushed. they used heavy weaponry in this attack. >> thank you for putting it into a little complex for the attacks in the northern part of algeria. >> still to come on this program - the business is going bust in the middle of myanmar's economic boom.

2010 and 2011, attacks on journalists. in both occasions intelligence occurred. the government took no action. in the first place you encourage the human rights abusers, and give them a blank check. we are left with no authority to question them the second time. that happened in pakistan. in pakistan they had the authority to take action against people in the abduction and torture of investigative reporter, that wouldn't have happened. >> rounds of elections in india. a big issue is how to feed its people. a new law guarantees cheap food for 70% of a billion indians. it will not be easy. we have this report from a town where the program is under way. >> this woman depends on the

subsidised food bought in this shop. she is married with two children. her families earns $50 a month. it does not go far. the public distribution scheme means they can afford to eat. buying basics like wheat, rice, sugar, pulses and kerosene - it could be more expensive on the open mash. here, she pays 10%. >> translation: sometimes there are shortages, and i may go and there's no flour or rice. i have to be parn. it's a con -- patient. i have to be pointer. >> they bring ration books and an id system confirms allowance or the machine and in the book. when private traders ran the shops, corruption was rife. they are under government and community control. some of the poorest people in india are, for once, winners.

"it's a great system. where will i get rice and flour

at such a price." others are taking note of the costs, wondering how they can reduce corruption and make their schemes more efficient. >> japan is building a military radar station on the island of yonagun. >> -- it's expanding for the first time in years. the people on yonaguni island protest the moving, saying it will increase tensions. china and other nations say it may increase ownership. >> michael is a research associate at the mit center for international studies. >> china may choose not to retaliate. anything that in any way shows movement towards the islands

will lead to some sort of response by the chinese side, even know what is happening is japan is building on its own territory. just a listening post basically. it's not making offensive action towards china. anything having to do with it is problematic. >> owning a mobile phone in myanmar used to be a luxury. people made good money renting out their phones. the economy has prospered. some of the old ways of doing business struggled to keep up. we have more. >> they are setting up shop. they put their phone out and wait. this is the best time of the day. the streets are full of people heading home after work. some may need to make a phone call.

awarded licences this year. they plan to roll out their networks in a couple of months and with that more affordable sim cards. >> five years ago a sim card would have cost $500, now as little as two. the only way to get it at that price is a once a month lottery. the only alternative is to buy it on the black market. >> when they opened shop five years ago, he could make up to $20. customers are usually lovers who wanted to shat, or young people calling home. now the calls are brief. usually by people that run out of battery. he may give uphis business before the year so over. he's looking ahead, teaching himself how to type and use the computer. once he's mastered that, he'll
