salvation army volunteers used the cann teen where they'd been feeding rescue workers to pray for the dead. they are being brought ashore in greater numbers. for the first time, divers have been able to pull bodies out of the ship. the pace of the recovery effort is accelerating. >> the guiding roots for us to enter into the ferry has been established, so it's easier to search inside. we'll have 553 divers on this concentrated search operation. >> at the port, distributions of the body is put up with marker pen on whiteboard. in is how families are having agonising bereavement confirmed. >> as the first bodies are recovered from in the ship, there's a growing level of acceptance from parents that children are dead. among many, there is anger at the authorities. >> dozens of parents confronted police, saying they wanted to take their complaints about the

"where do i find the body?", says this man, whose wife is missing. let's take her out, get her somewhere warm, not in the cold water. >> relatives prepare for a fourth night, waiting for a confirmation of their grief, waiting for a body to take home. >> well, let's join adrian brown, in jindo. clearly heart breaking for families, waiting so long. more and more deaths are being confirmed. >> that's right. the body count now stands at 58, more than double what it was at this time yesterday. we have seep more and more -- seen more and more bodies brought ashore. there has been coast guard vessels going out to the ferry, bringing the bodies back. we watched a procession of body bags on stretchers carried to
6:04 am
the morgue. there they are being identified by families, by loved ones and taken to a nearby hospital. in a near tent here, as harry mentioned in his report, they are adding the names of all those found, and most of the names on the board are those of children. the average age is 18 years old. it's been an emotionally charged day here. divers managed to make some head way. clearly weather conditions have improved. there are more access point to the ferry, so they are getting to parts of the ferry that they haven't been able to get to until now. perhaps to the games room and the cafeteria where they believe that people who had survived might well be. >> yes, it's a grim process. it will loft a while longer. we know that. families very, very angry at the south korean government. they tried to stage a protest march to seoul.
6:05 am
. >> that's right. about 100 families decided to march across the bridge that separates this island from the mainland. but the police blocked their way. these protesters were demanding to be able to take their protest all the way to the president in sole. what they are really upset about is they fear the bodies of their children will decompose if more efforts are not made to get their children's bodies out of the water. it's a measure of frustration that is understandable when you have lost your child. they are looking vent their fury and anger on anyone. today it was the police, who, for some reason, were blocking their way. it underlines the trust that the people who have lost loved ones feel. they feel, in a sense, that the authorities have been dragging their feet. the authorities say it's not the case, pointing to the fact that they have 600 divers involved in
6:06 am
the operation. several hundredships, it's not enough to pacify the people, who don't believe they have a full picture as to why this tragedy happened. >> thank you for that. >> 14 soldiers in algeria have been killed during a patrol in the mountains east of the capital. it's not clear who carried out the attack, but is the worst ambush against the military in years. a journalist in the capital algiers says the incident is a huge blow to algeria's new president abdelaziz boutefika. >> the region was a haven for terrorists years back, it was cleaned from terrorists. it's unusual today. the terrorists struck again, after the election which saw abdelaziz boutefika re-elected for a third term.
6:07 am
it's a huge blow for the abdelaziz boutefika reconciliation. terrorists might have - they have taken advantage of the situation, the last situation. i think after the win of abdelaziz boutefika, the whole machine was mobilized. after the election there was a little relaxation in terms of vigilance of the security forces. it's a huge blow. the terrorists used heavy - 14 people were ambushed. this were using heavy weaponry in this attack. >> a number of suspected al qaeda fighters have been killed in an air strike in yemen, the second in two days as the u.s. steps up a campaign against al qaeda, in the arabia peninsula. >> 13 rebels died in a targeted strike in their car.
6:08 am
the yemen state agency accuses them of planning attacks on civilians and military. three civilians travelling in a car were also killed. >> ukraine's interior ministry said one person died after a shooting between two groups. three others have been injured. russian state media reported that five were killed in an attack on a pro-russian checkpoint. the attack happened near the city of slovyansk. hoda abdel-hamid joins us from donetsk. moscow clearly fewerious over the attacks that have taken place near slovyansk. do you know more about what happened? >> well there are very conflicting reports here. one thing we know is that there was a shoot-out at a check point, on a dirt road, on the outskirts of the town of slovyansk, leading towards a village in that area. now, according to kiev and moscow, the story differs.
6:09 am
moscow says that it suspects that it is some elements of the right sector, which is the ultra national group in ukraine that had a big role in the process in kiev, and certainly in rappelling the attack by -- rappelling the attack by security forces. the ministry of defense in kiev, in his statement said that there was a shoot-out, and confirm one death, not three or four like the reports that came out of the moscow, but hinted that it could have been a fight between different pro-russian groups on the ground, or maybe even some criminal gangs, or some sort of local score settling. that's the point at this stage that is not clear. one thing i can't say is that there was some video shown on russian state television, and in that video there was a business card that allegedly was found on one of the bodies of the people who died.
6:10 am
we called that number, and that number, a young lady answered and she said she had nothing to do with it, and had no link to the right sector group. certainly we still don't know who was behind the shoot-out. >> confusing picture. across the eastern ukraine activists aren't leaving or don't seem to be leaving government buildings despite the international agreement last week, is there a sign that they might comply? >> well, so far they have been very defiant. at some point they dismissed the words of sergei lavrov, the foreign minister of russia, saying that he was in russia, and they were here on the ground. he was not the commander. others said unless they see something concrete coming out of kiev. they will not move out of the building. depending on which group you speak to, the list of demands differ. what they agree on is a date for the referendum in the future of
6:11 am
this region. they want to see the right sector, the ultra nationalist group out of the government, one of the leaders going to be a candidate in the upcoming presidential election. that's one of the many sticking points. no sign of them moving on to the ground. today there's a delegation in donetsk. holding talks with both sides. so far, talks have not started, but that delegation has been going on around eastern ukraine and pro-russian groups, whether it's here or other areas, but so far we have not seen any concrete outcome either. the shoot-out might turn to the worst, in the sense that people probably destroy russians, pointing the finger at kiev saying that's why they won't move out of the buildings. >> thank you hoda abdel-hamid,
6:12 am
updating us from donetsk there. >> now, the government in south sudan says it sent soldiers across the country to secure bases belonging to the united nations, following an attack on a u.n. compound in the town of bor. 58 were killed at a site where displaced people had taken shelter. >> the violence began more than four months ago between government soldiers and rebel troops, loyal to the former vice president. >> these are some of the survivors of an attack on a u.n. base in bor. among them women and children. some have bullet wounds, others were attacked by people with machetes. this woman says she was told by her attackers to lay on the ground. she refused and tried to run away. >> they caught up with me, so i tried to jump over a wall. but one man caught up with me and hit me in the head with a
6:13 am
machete and left me. i sat still, because i didn't want them to come back and finish me. >> another woman described being shot in the arm as she, too, tried to run away from her attackers. pictures emerged on saturday of the aftermath of the violence. some showed the dead carried in body bags and loaded on to trucks. others revealed the brutal nature of the attacks. in the morning an armed mob rampaged through the protection of civilians area, killing men, women and children. the government accused the peace keepers of provoking the violence. >> the unionist force shot bullets in the air. that shooting of bullets in the air provoked the situation. and as a result, a fight ensued between the youth, the force and
6:14 am
the rebels and the idps on one side and the youths on the other side. >> asked who fired the first shot, the u.n. was unequif okayal. >> i don't think there was any question about that. it was certainly the demonstrators who pulled out their weapons, and upon doing so we realised there would be an altercation, that civilians were in grave danger and action was necessary. >> the complex changed in bor, when civilians sheltering came under attack. >> we were into the fifth month of the conflict and the violence showed no sign of ending. >> and it's this kind of violence that transformed the capital of the oil rich state into a coast town. much of malay call has been damaged. many have been killed. those that survived had to leave
6:15 am
their homes. rebels loyal to riek machar have been fighting troops to grain control of oil fields. >> the city lives in horror, the people are scared. the humanitarian situation is not good at all. >> security is seriously absent. you can only work and be active where there is security. security helps you be supportive and helpful, otherwise you can't live properly. >> christians around the world are marking easter sunday, but some in jerusalem say they don't have the same freedom to celebrate. >> why is it that the christians and muslims cannot get to holy place, but the jews can. coming up, dispute as to access to the jerusalem holy sites. >> reward for your rubbish. the innovative idea in nigeria getting people to recycle. >> and a perfect chart to the

6:17 am
the south-east. after bringing more reinforcements from baghdad, the army tried to make a gap between the arm enforcement to enter into the city, and try to lower the attacks against them. after many clashes, and after many heavy bombing on the city, the army when back to their bases without making any progress on the ground. >> activists in the syrian city of homs say supplies are running out and more civilians have died in fighting with government soldiers. they are calling on aid agencies to evacuated areas and send in humanitarian aid. >> children caught up in the syrian conflict.
6:18 am
according to activists, these soldiers were injured in the latest bombing campaign by government forces in the central city of homs. they say the shelling has been relentless, prompting many to play prayers on loud speakers for hours. state military reports the military made gains, but is facing resistance. rebels fighters are firing rockets into the old city. >> in old homs city the brave government forces are defeating the terrorists. the terrorists tried to hit the area with mort arse. -- with mortars. >> fighters are holding their ground. many left the neighbourhoods and residents are facing a shortage of supplies. activists appealed to aid agencies.

6:20 am
the misery of those caught up in the conflict. >> four french journalist held hostage in syria arrived back home. french president francis hollande met the men at an air base outside paris. turkish soldiers found the men handcuffed in blindfolded on the boarder with syria. they had been kidnapped in two incidents in june. >> translation: i want to remind people that france is working to help syria to finally recover freedom and democracy. we carried on the right policy. we wanted to see the chemical weapons destroyed. we want to do everything possible to allow a political transition. it is hard, very hard. for that we need journalists to do their job and report on the situation. >> pakistan has denied being behind the shooting of hamid mir, a best-known tv presenter. he survived the attack.
6:21 am
it happened on his way to work. a gunman on a bridge opened fire as he got off a plane. hamid mir's brother told friends if he was attacked pakistan's spy master and i.s.i. would be responsible. >> translation: a man opened fire first. another man was following him on a motorbike. he came up behind him. at the same time the driver in hamid mir's car sped away. they chased after him. the driver was not hit, praise be to god. otherwise it would have been worst. >> a blogger and editor-in-chief of an online newspaper accuses the pakistani military of using violence to silence journalists. >> the attack on hamid mir takes us back to the attack in 2010 and 2011 on investigative journalists. in both cases the intelligence was blamed. in the first place, the
6:22 am
government of pakistan took no action, they encouraged the human rights abusers, giving them a blank check and we are left with no more authority to question the second time. that happened in pakistan. the authorities taking action against the people involved in the killing or abduction and torture of investigative reporter. >> gunmen who opened fire on a police patrol car in the egyptian capital killed an officer and soldier. they were attacked. armoured men stepped up assault against security forces since the military coup last july. >> a left-wing politician submitted his candidacy for imprisonment. andy is seen as a major rival. he came third in egypt's first democratic elections in 2012, won by the deposed president

the ordinarily people, given almost no protective gear. volunteer rescue workers weren't inside the building, but people like him and others that survived are also victims of the ranny plasa disaster. >> let's go back to our top story, the ongoing recovery of bodies from the capsized ferry in south korea. carl ross is a marine architect and professor of engineering at the university of port smith. good to have you on the program. i know you were saying the ferry sank so fast because of a design flaw. tell us more about that. >> well, most ferries have a design fault in that the deck has to be a wide open space. because of this they don't have longitudinal bulk heads.
6:38 am
if you get water on the car deck the ferry will capsize in a few minutes. you won't be able to get the life boats down, preventing an ordinary evacation. if that happens, you need to get the passengers off. >> what you described sound similar to what happened on the debruga ferry disaster when the car desk was left open and the water cascaded in. >> i didn't quite get you there. >> i'm saying what you described seems similar to what happened during the zebruga car ferry disaster in 1987. this seems to be a design problem with most ferries. >> it is a design fault. most ferries have the design fault. the car deck, in british waters, of course, since the world war ii, the number of people who
6:39 am
have died on car ferry accidents has been in single figures. this compares favourably with the number of people in 2006, who died falling out of bed, which amounted to 99 people in young year. because of that i suggested an invention to improve the stability of car ferries, and the industry has not taken it on as yet, because of the cost of it. >> that's what i'm wondering. if this is a recognise problem, one leading to many death when there is a disaster, why hasn't action been taken to rectify it. >> well it's money. in western waters, the number of people who died in western waters due to car ferry accidents is relatively small. it should be done because it's all very well saying that, but if you lost the nearest and dearest in an action like that,
6:40 am
you will pay as much as you can. it should be rectified. it hasn't been rectified. there's a warning that cctv cameras and stuff like that towards the car deck. if it gets water on it, it will cap size in a few minutes. >> thank you, carl ross speaking to us from southampton there. - >> now, one of the big issues in this year's ma'am oth general election in india is how to feed all the people in the country. a new law guarantees cheap food for 17% of one billion citizens. we have this report from a place where the program is under way. >> this woman depends on the
6:41 am
subsidised food bought in this shop. she's married with two children. her family earns $50 a month. it doesn't go far. the distribution scheme means they can afford to eat. buying basics like wheat, pulses and other basics. she pays 10% of the value. >> translation: sometimes there are shortages, sometimes i go and there's no flour or ice. it's a slight concern, but the system works well. they bring the ration books and electronic id systems on the machine and in the book. half a million people buy their food at more than 550 pbs shops. corruption was right. they are under government and community control. for once, some of the poorest
6:42 am
people in india are the winners. >> at the moment people can't by fruit and vegetables. >> it's been a slow tedious process of reform. they are plugging all the loopholes, expanding it, covering more of the poor, giving them benefits, expanding the basket under pbs. >> with a coverage of 90% of the state. it's monitored by the supreme court of india. it want to make sure the right to food act works. >> 400km south of the state capital, this is where pbs suck seds. shops are located where isolated tribal communities sell their produce and buy their rations from the shop. >> this woman sells vegetables, earning enough to buy from the market. it's a great system.
6:43 am
>> where would i get rice and flour. other renalos wonder how to reduce corruption and make the schemes more efficient. >> coming up, farah will be here with the sport. including road teams dominating on the opening day of the n.b.a. play-offs. all the action coming up in a moment.

6:46 am
asking for a range of things, from the latest accessories to the older, cheaper models. >> actually, the phone industry is improving because prices come down, and i think it will continue to grow. foreign companies are coming in and investing. throughout the years of military dictatorship, myanmar's state-owned firms kept phone services. mobile phone penetration rate is low. it's estimated at 10%. the two foreign companies awarded licences this year say they plan to roll up their networks in a couple of months. five years ago a sim card would have cost about $500, and now it can cost as little as $2. the only way to get it at that price is a once a month lottery. the other is to buy it on the black market for about $100.
6:47 am
when this man first opened shop five years ago he could make up to $20 a day. customers were usually those that wanted to chat, or young people newly arrived in the city, calling home. >> now the calls are brief, usually by people that have run out of battery. >> he will probably give up his business before the year is over. he is looking ahead, teaching himself how to type and use the computer. once he's mastered that, he'll look for a new source of income. this is, after all a knew myanmar, with new opportunities ahead and u.s. capital to invest. >> thank you. we start with formula 1. louis hamilton led from start to

6:49 am
unbelievable performances, the managers, we give them this. fantastic performance. >> every time we play the top games, we perform in a better way than the teams at the bottom. i'm not surprised. it's nice. it was special for me as well. we needed the point. so very welcome. >> chelsea's loss could be liverpool's gain as they go five clear. the game takes off in a few minutes. arsenal travels to hull in what is a dress rehearsal. everton welcome manchester united in the league game. >> in the spanish premier league barcelona could close the knap. real sociedad had a late win on saturday. carlos slotted the winner
