from the east. sherpas boycott the climbing seasoning. and how high-end restaurants are cooking a profit for the cuban economy. . u.s. president obama has arrived in japan on the first leg of a week-long tour of asia. these are the scenes in tokyo now. you can see air force one. ahead of the trip he assures tokyo that the islands are covered by a defence treaty with the united states. diaoyus, is at the center of a dispute with china. there'll be visits to asia, malaysia amongst others. veronica pedrosa reports. . >> reporter: it's said actions speak louder than words. secretary of state john kerry stood in for barack obama, who,

for the second time last year, did not manage to make it to a major asian summit. what had happened to the rebalancing or pivot of foreign policy to asia. >> the top diplomats at the time explained the new direction, saying: >> president obama could not come last october because of the shutdown, because of the difficulties, it's a problem for issue, to find the policy of pivot and rebalance credible. we had to see more delivery. we are not seeing that. >> governments in north and south-east asia want the military balance. critics say the pentagon have not gone far enough, and point out that the u.s. has more

limited resources. but washington does not want to antagonise china unnecessarily. >> economics lead the way to washington, which needs to justify the pivot to american voters. but that not as much urgency for asian governments. they are confident about their emerging markets, gravitational pool for the u.s. that's been underlined by the former secretary curt campbell who wrote: >> campbell has now set up his own advisory and investment firm. around 740 million people in asia live on less that $1.05 a day. they are probably not going to notice obama's visit much. the government has been watching closely. it's seen as a most critical

test of u.s. strategy. >> let's bring in carlo live from canberra in australia. good to have you on the programme. a lot of u.s. attention is on europe and the middle east. what is your assessment of how important this trip will be to reassure asian allies that u.s. focus is on that region? >> it's vitally important because obama administration could not make it last october. he's out to reassure the region that despite the congress cutting the budget for defense, possible sequestration, that the economy is on the rise, and pushing a trans-pacific partnership. >> the second is to say the crisis in syria and crimea is

not comparable to east asia, and the u.s., because it isn't robustly engaged does not mean it will not be engaged in the asia pacific. the third is that the united states will maintain its military dominance for the next several decades and reassure japan other islands. senkakus. >> as far as japan goes, it was a move by obama to give reassurances that he was on their side so far as the territorial dispute with china goes. >> vital to do that for japan. in private he has to get japan and south korea on track. they are not cooperating well, and the u.s. is trying to push them closer. the other reassurance that the united states has to give to both of them, it will support them getting together.

>> how will they do that. tokyo and seoul are barely on speaking terms. the leaders met once, only after obama pushed them into a photo opportunity. how will he get the two allies talking to each other. nothing will complicate their minds. in private with japan, the u.s. publicly and in private talked to shinzo abe about the war issue. he didn't go to the shrine, last year he went. it's to try to get japan to be sensitive about the complaints as to the war. >> so far as the military preps, there has been protests in the fephilippines over the security accord. not everyone on board with that

move, but that is crucial to the u.s. as being part of the counterbalance towards china, isn't it? >> absolutely. the physical facilities that the philippines has are close to contingencies. the clark airfield, civic bay for the navy are there. the u.s. stresses that it's a rotational presence, not basing. the benigno aquino government is online. and there's a feeling in the philippines against the united states because of a colonial history and a fear that rotational presence will dero gait from philippine's sovereignty. >> one final question, we can't talk about the visit without tipping our eye towards the trade situation. the u.s., of course, wanting this huge free trade agreement with issue. this is part of the economic rebalance towards asia, if you

like. yes, it's what i call the rebalancing of the rebalancing. president obama set last september as a deadline, it did not eventuate. progress is made across the board. japan is firm on protecting its industry. and tariff's on american bases are the issue. analysts say what they do is say there is progress being made. that's the best they can hope for at the time. >> great to speak to you. thanks for your thought. live from australia in canberra, and we can see president obama has now got off the plane, air force one and greeting his host in tokyo. the first stop of an 8-day asian tour. >> now, ukraine acting president oleksandr turchynov says he'll launch a second military

offensive against pro-russian activists in the east. the first operation failed to drive out government from occupied buildings. in luhansk they occupy a building and in kramatorsk pro-russian gunmen retook the police station. it's in slovyansk where they have asserted themselves the most - they hold city hall, the police station, security service building and the tv tour. from the capital kiev, barnaby phillips reports. >> the day began with an american show of support with kiev. any government in a desperate situation as ukraine's would be grateful for the american backing. vice president joe biden was warmly received. the vice president and ukraine's acting prime minister had tough words for russia.

no nation has the right to grab land from another nation. no nation has that right. and we will never recognise russia's illegal occupation of crimea. and neither will the world. >> russia should stick to its international commitment and relations, we demand that russia fulfil its obligations and not behave like gangsters. >> ukraine need to reduce dependance on russian gas, and that will take time, something that the government does not have. the news from the east is ominous. in slovyansk, pro-russian groups fear an attack by government forces after ukraine's acting president oleksandr turchynov

said the body of a local politician, apparently tortured and murdered was found near the city. he blames russia for the murder. >> torch is calling for a resumption of what he calls anti-terrorist activities against armed pro-russian groups in the east. they have been suspended. the geneva agreement, intended to de-escalate the crisis is now in danger are of unravelling before it was even implemented. >> thank you for your strong for. >> vice president joe biden encouraged the ukrainian government with strong language. he has gone home to washington, leaving the ukrainians to deal with that powerful neighbour to the east. >> russian opposition leader and anticorruption campaigner has been convicted of libel. alexi described a member of the ruling united russian party as a

drug addict on twitt are. he was fined $800,000, and has been under house arrest in a separate case. >> guides are refusing to climb the world's highest mountain after a fatal avalanche. 16 nepalese sherpas were killed. their colleagues are demanding improved conditions and better way. we have more. . >> reporter: getting to the summit of mt everest is a tough challenge. many do not do it alone. they need the help of guides or sherpas. they show the way, carrying supplies. it puts them at rick. >> friday's avalanche struck while the sherpa's made the way safe. 13 were killed, three were unaccounted for. >> it's a terrible tragedy. great loss of life and the

families and villages that will be impacted by this loss. >> the guides are now refusing to go up the mountain until certain demands are met. they want a bigger pay out. aid for the families and regulations to ensure the guides' rights. nepal's government says it will meet the demands, but for the sherpas it does not go far enough. >> we decided to establish a himalayan fund, to assist the victim's children with food, rehabilitation, et cetera. >> the government makes more than $3 million is year through everest's climbing fees much the sherpas make a small fraction of that. up to 6,000 a year. for them and their community mountaineering is a key source of income. sir edmond hilary and their sherpas were the first to reach the top of everest.

hillary's son says it is a difficult choice to make. what are the options. unfortunately the only option is when you play russian roulette, ascending a place like the kundu ice fall is to found alternatives and that may affect the employment of local people. until there is a way to make climbing everest safer, a 60 year history hangs in the balance. >> french president francis hollande says one of two french men being held hostage is probably dead. the announcement is made after a phone call claiming alertest layoff was killed. he was captured in 2012, travelling near the border of mali and mauritania. >> the white house condemned the mass anger of hundreds in south sudan. describing it has an attack that

shot the confidence. at least 2,000 people were killed in a mosque in bentiu. bodies littered the town seized by rebels. a car bombing in egypt killed a senior police officer, the attack happened in 6 october in the province of geesa. the brigadier general died. the united states lifted a ban on military support for egypt. it delivered 10 apache helicopter. aid was suspended after mohamed mursi was removed from power. >> a criminal court has poewes poped the trial of the deposed president and 35 other muslim brotherhood leaders. they are charged with revealing national security secrets to foreign organizations. the trial of three al jazeera journalists has been adjourned. they've been in gaol for 116 cause. peter greste, baher mohamed, and

mohamed fadel fahmy are falsely accused of providing a platform for the outlawed muslim brotherhood. al jazeera rejects the charges and demands the release of its staff. >> at least some evidence was heard last night. the value is yet to be determined, obviously. he had another frustrating court session, and regrettably it was unsurprising to me anyway. >> more to come on the newshour, including... ..at syrian boy survives this blast, only to be killed in a more tar attack a few months later. we talk to his parents about the agony of syria's war. families mourn the victims of south korea's ferry disaster. plus the sport. there's a blow for chelsea. the champion's league semifinal - farah has the details.

>> palestine activists held a rally in gaza, calling for unity between hamas and fatah. the rival groups have been at odds for several years, each ruling a separate territory. the rally coinciding with the west bank in gaza. it wants to negotiate a settlement in the hope that it will strengthen mahmoud abbas's position in israel. if the peace process doesn't continue, it will continue. >> lebanese politicians failed to enact a president in the first stages. they had fallen short. it is the first of many to choose a successor to the current president. the power sharing system in leb demon's parliament is based -- lebanon's parliament is bade on sebbing tare lines.

the president must be a marron ipt. the vice a sunni. and the speaker a shia. this looks like a long and tricky process. bring us up to date with what is happening and how it will proceed. >> yes, as you said. it was not surprising that no president was elect. neither of the major blocks in the parliament have the necessary votes. however, this was many years considered a session. a session for the different political parties to show their voice and power for a process to agree on one president, enjoy k the consensus of the local parties and the international allies in the region. there was one session, there was supposed to be another, that would change the rules. according to the constitution, if one candidate does not get

enough votes, there could be another session, and he doesn't need two-thirds of the votes, but 50%, plus one. it does not happen. there's no quorum. there's another session. no expectations that a president will be elected then. >> politics has been complicated because of sectarian divides. international powers have a stake. what kind of foreign countries are looking on. >> yes. they have a lot of say, in fact, the march 14th coalition which today nominated them as the head of the forces for the presidential post. they were only able to get 48 votes. they are backed by saudi arabia, by the french and the americans. on the other hand you have the march led by he's. and the -- hezbollah, and the general. he wants to be a presence. he did not run, because he hopes

to make deals with the local parties, including the future movement and is trying to apiece saudi arabia, the backer for the march 14th bloc. he has the backing of his own allies, iran and syria. so as you can see, iran, syria, saudi arabia, the french and the u.s. have a lot of say in the next presidential elections, and who will become the next president. they need to agree on one name. >> interesting stuff. that could take time. thank you for joining us. >> now, thousands of homes in pakistan's capital, istanbul are being torn down as part of a crackdown on illegally constructed slums and the armed groups operating within them. residents are fighting to save what is left. >> this is the only home this map has ever known. his parents moved here after istanbul was established as

pakistan's capital more than 40 years ago. he, together with his brothers, wives and children live here. if the government has its way, they could soon be homeless. in february a court ordered the municipal authorities to clear slums like the ones they live in. >> translation: this is our home. everything we own is here. we don't have money to go somewhere else where are we supposed to go. >> the interior minister led the crackdown on the slums. he says not only are they illegal, but they are a place used by groups who carried out recent attacks killing dozens of people, people believe the government's motives have more to do with money. >> violence has made istanbul a desirable place to live because of its relative safety, and it's for that reason many who live in

the slums believe the authorities are cracking down on them, because the land their illegally built homes are on, has grown in value as the city expanded. according to the administration, there are around two dozens slums in and around istanbul, housing 80,000 people. most are christian and afghan refugees. workers, domestic help in the homes of the elite - but that has not deterred the government. bulldozers have begun clearing slums, leaving those that have been demolished with little choice, but to salvage what is left and find somewhere else to live. >> this man is with the alliance advocating for the slums, he says clearing the places does not deal with the problem, the shortage of housing for low-income people. there's no logic except a flash in the pan do this and deal with

the consequences later. >> people who live her planned a series of protests against the demolition of their communities. it's clear the government is not listening, and their homes will soon be gone. >> there's anger in the ivory coast over the ban on local delicacy - bush meet carrying the ebola virus. 140 people have been killed by the outbreak of the disease. new measures to stop it spreading to ivory coast are being ignored. >> these women are furious at the police. they have tape away the bush meat -- taken away the bush meet they were about to sell at this market. >> translation: we have been put out of business. if we can't sell our meat, our families will go hungry. we want the bush meat back. >> this is what authorities did

with it. 200 kilos up in flames. along with fruit bats and monkeys, the wild animals are popular in ivory cuisine, but are known to most the ebola virus. >> translation: the virus is found in the animal's biological secretio secretions. if you are in contact with it, you are in danger of being infected. >> ivory coast shares a border with guinea, where an outbreak of ebola killed 128 people. there's no cure. it's hoped the new nearbiure will protect animals from farm. despite the ban an bush meat wild animals continue to be hunted. >> translation: don't get me wrong, i love the animals. they'll kill it. i like it, i get good money for it. >> bush meat is a delicacy. government inspectors are checking to see what is sole. meat is available in the market.

it's cut into little pieces, making it difficult for inspectors to find out whether this is bush meat or not. the ban is hard to enforce. some may have been driven out of business much most, like the city's butchers continue to thrive on new, fresh lie cut meat. time for the weather with ever top. if president obama was in washington state yesterday to visit victims of the mudslide, not so long ago - what is the weather like there for a few days. >> it could be better. there could be rain in the forecast. not as heavy as recently. looking at the satellite. a large mass of crowd. it's making its way further. little more cloud coming in behind, towards the pacific, and that will produce the outbreaks of rain. it has been wet and we did have

the president having a look at the scene just as we went through yesterday. heavy rain recently, and you see how the landscape is scored, and the river changing its course. as we go on through the remainder of wednesday, further showers coming in. the wettest weather, the worst of the weather towards calgary. that heavy rain will continue to make its way further eastward going through the course of thursday. there'll be snow around. it spills out of alberta. rolling down across the prairies, noticing wintry weather around lake superior, heavy rain to the south, piling down across a good part of the central plains to eastern arse of temaze. showers for -- texas. further showers. it's a touch driver. >> everton, thank you very much indeed. >> funerals in south korea for victims of the ferry disaster.

150 bodies, many children, have been recovered from the vessel that capsized and sank. >> we have this report from ansun, where most of the children live. . >> reporter: it's a community crushed by grief. in a makeshift memorial, there's a steady procession offers mourners. most of the dead are from the same high school. funerals are a place many are expected to express their feelings. it's been a training week. with bodies yet to be discovered, scenes like this are set to be repeated for days, if not weeks to come. many hope the area will recover after losing so many people. >> translation: first we need to recover from the sadness, and the students need to recover and bet able to go back to their schools again. >> the operation to retrieve the

bodies is gathering pace, helped by better weather. >> the sinking of the ferry exactly a week ago was an anniversary that seemed to pass unnoticed in junedo -- jindo. where the hopes of families of the missing have been dashed. the family of 16-year-old kim can now at least mourn their beloved daughter. i last spoke to her mother on saturday, when she wanted to believe her daughter would take it. she was near to embarking on a year of exams. her family is left to reflect on the last your dreams and ambitions. >> she was good at design. we thought she would work as an architect. we wanted to support her in that. >> the funeral is taking place in the memorial room of a local hospital, where the family of her close friend were gathering. this 16-year-old loved music and had ponded to bomb a composer.

the cashingster of both lives conis -- character of both conveyed by precious possessions - the lives of children lost forever. >> still to come on al jazeera. shooting in a brazilian town sparks a wave of violence. the world's internet gurus and government officials meet to nut out how to keep cyber space secure. cap floyd mayweather keep his streak intact. we'll hear from the world champion this hour.

>> welcome back. you are watching al jazeera. president obama has arrived in japan at the start of a week-long tour of asia, he is backing japan in a dispute with china over a group of islands. he's seeking stronger military ties with the philippines, malaysia and south korea. >> the nepalese government is negotiating with sherpas to end a boycott following an avalanche that killed 13 people. >> funerals are being held for some that died. bodies of 150 people have been recovered. >> now, to a story about a

syrian boy who narrowly survived a mortar trike on his home in a -- strike on his home in a rebel-controlled town in damascus. al jazeera spoke to him and his family after the blast. what happened four months later left his family heart broken. zeina khodr takes up the story. >> for this family, this is there 12-year-old son. a bomb hit the home. it was only a few days ago that the father was able to remove the blood stains. >> there was smoke. i saw him laying there. i picked him up. shrapnel from the mortar hit his head. he was killed. >> he is sitting on the far right. we spoke with them on skype last november. days after they scoped death --

escaped death. they appeared composed, considering this is what they survived. >> translation: we were filmed by a journalist when the shell landed. we run away. when we came home i told my mother. she started to cry. >> four months later his mother cried again. this time her eldest son did not survive the mortar strike. they have seep some of the worst violence, many left. this family are among those who accepted their fate. >> whatever is decided we'll accept. we have faith. this was my son's fate. it was difficult to be separated. tens of thousands of syrians lost both their lives in the war. more than 7,000 children were killed.

syria, how big a problem is this in france. actually, it has been an increase in the number of young people going to syria, and it has become a problem, because of the perception of the people, given to the number of fighters in syria now, and it's not huge, and given the number of people leaving, it's still one of the major countries providing fighters in syria right now. >> how are they becoming radicalized in the first place. why syria. there hasn't been much french involvement. there has been countries like marley and central african republic. it's not about radicalization, it's the motivation, the main motivation is about more humanitarian. they want to help the syrian people, but when they end up to helping them, wanting to help them, in the action phase, they

end up with jihadist groups there. and this is it where it's becoming a problem. >> the french government unveiled its plan to stop this happening. they are saying that the french muslims are becoming radicalize said. some of the measures are controversial. one of them getting parents to support suspicious behaviour in their children. what do you make of all this? >> actually, it's more political move than a real strategy about radicalization. there's a lot of issues that can be arranged with this strategy, especially with civil liberties, with these reporting on the children too, whereas the parents are the last person to know what is going on. the experience shows that the families discover the radicalization or even the

departure of their children. once they are in syria from the media. there'll be a lot of difficulties and problems in the application of this strategy underground in france. >> what should france do to prevent the french muslims wanting to fight in places like syria. >> it's about seeria. the diplomacy should be concurrence to what the people see. the young people in france see the war as a fair war, and see themselves fighting as revolutionaries against the dictatorship and a regime who is killing its people. so as lock as this perception

lasts, they will be very difficult for the french government and the authorities to count the trend. >> interesting stuff. good to get your thoughts. thank you for joining us. matthew speaking life from paris. >> now, there has been violent pr fests in two cities. after the death of a tv performer. police are accused of deliberately killing the the man, something denied. >> this is what happened in brazil's second-largest city, rio de janeiro. scenes of violence and chaos in its famous copa cobana neighbourhood. protesters set fire to trash in the streets. this man was a well-known performer. his family said he was beaten to

death by police, who mistook him for a drug dealer. the police denied that anyone died during the antidrug trafficking. it was not clear who fired the shots. there were reports of deaths and injuries and violence spreading from one part of rooege to other -- rio de janeiro, to other areas. >> i hid in the bar. in soo paulo, more than 30 buses were set op fire, reportedly over the killing. >> we have douse said the demrams, there was no -- flames, there was no casualties we have not registered victims. >> drug gangs increased attacks on police posts, and police have been stepping up efforts in recent months to target gangs pt the head force has been criticised for its heavy handedness. amnesty international says brazilian police are responsible

for nearly 2,000 deaths every year. >> they killed one of our children. i'm a mother. imagine a mother to find herself in this situation. it's revoting. >> people who live here are fearful of the gangs in the street, and the men in uniform. >> now, with 3 billion users across the demrob, the worldwide web is an integral part of how we live, work and play. it has grown at a phenomenal weight, unchecked and without rules on how to police it. >> a summit brought together experts and officials to work out how to govern the web. >> the u.s. will give up administrative powers. creating a new model will not be easy. governments, corporations, rights groups, individuals want to role. act visits are pushing for a model kerbing weapons, prif assy

del rousef angry because her government was targeted. >> i think it was a false anger. most are aware of surveillance of a large government. it's more a public relations issue than a political issue within governments. >> this issue of cyber spying is not on the official agenda. presumably they'll discuss that as well. >> at the igf meeting in bali and indonesia, it lead to the meeting - it's one of the core issues, revelations in particular. >> how far have edward snowden's revelations changed public opinion about the internet, and how far have governments been responding to that? >> it's unclear. the - just simply speaking about surveillance openly, and the u.s. government not able to effectively deny the fact that they are civiling is changing the discourse in europe, in

europe and asia. so it is definitely having effect. how much of an effect. discussions about internet governance have been going on for a decade. and they continue to go on. >> what do you expect to come out of this meeting in brazil. there's a lot of organizations, government, u.s. is $. >> i'm more -- is there. >> i'm more of a model. there's optimistic people that think there'll be a plan to move forward, address, as you put it, the icann issues with the - with the dissemation of power. i'm thinking it will be more discussion, we may see something coming out in a few years. >> thank you very much. good to have you with us. >> still to come on this newshour - cubans dine out on the government's decision to open up the economy. all the sport. find out if the top seeds

indiana get the win in game 2 of the play-offs, that story coming up after the play-offs. -- after the break.

>> the malaysian government launched an international investigation to find the missing malaysia airlines flight mm-hmm 370. it disappeared with 239 people on board. a black box signal was detected in a 10km air. a deep sea search has not found anything. time for the sport. thank you.

leg. >> we had problems before the game. we had problems during the game. we lost four players. two with injuries, two with apple carts. we will fight. >> translation: we knew how they would play. the idea was to break the defensive game. we could not. they did it well. this leaves an open game. we see next week who will benefit from the result. >> real madrid takes on bayern munich. carlos ancelotti will not risk ronaldo. the forward featured for the club since the first leg of the quarterfinal. >> cristiano trained normally and in the last few days. we have a session with him

tomorrow. afterwards, we will make the decision. it's clear he will play if everyone agrees he can play. we are confident but he can make the final decision. bayern munich had one for. the coach was also unbeaten while in charge of barcelona. his side lost twice in germany since securing a bundislega title. >> the mentality was wielded down. we played, we have something to compete. they were happy last game. we didn't play good. we'll recover our spirit as a team. >> brian giggs starts the first day as caretaker manager on

wednesday following the sagging of david moyes. unable to qualify, with millions at stake, the contract was terminated after 10 months. paul brepan reports from johnny manziel. >> the rain clouds brought a gloomy backdrop. the speculation about david moyes future has been swirling for weeks. his first season in charge was about transition. few could have predicted how the champion team could be brought low and how quickly the chosen one would fall. >> i'm surprised that david moyes was not given until the end of the season and spend money and get the squad set up how he wanted it, rather than how he inherited it. and given until january. i think really the righting was on the wall after the performance against everton on

sunday, when it looked like manchester united players' were not performing. >> there was no comment from the sacked manager on tuesday, just a glimpse of moyes outside united's training ground where he cleaned his desk and said goodbyes. his sacking is about more than a football in crisis. the glazes spent $1.4 billion buying manchester united. and what this decision unlines it football is a brutal business. this decision to sack moyes as much about reassuring investors and shareholders as it is about appeasing the plans. the club shirts will be sponsored bit the car maker chevrolet, a deal for $559 million. is a sponsorship with nike expires, it's worth $119 million. that level of backing is essential if manchester united hopes to spend $300 million on

new players. in fact, united's financial strength has been unaffected by the troubles on the pitch. share prices has risen despite the team. the decision to sack moyes brought a further bounce in the share price in new york. manchester united is a global club with a worldwide business. it has an estimated 659 million adult fans spread around the globe. outside the club's stadium, it was not difficult to find fans with south america, mainland europe and china, convinced that united will recover from this episode. it's a long history. >> the former bayern munich coach has been installed as a likely successor, but it boss of

the netherlands squad going into the summer's world cup. he has trophy winner's experience, something moyes never possessed. >> the indiana pairs recovered from the first-game loss to tie the n.b.a. play-offs against atlanta. paul george scored a game-high 27 points. scoler came off the bench, adding 20 more, leading the pacers to 101 to 85 vingtry. the series is level at 1-0. game 3 is on thursday in atlanta. >> we put the print on the game in the third quarter. which we have done, playing in november, december. we got back to that, not that we did a great job of locking in the second half on, you know, what we need to do.
