south africa - opposition parties get ready to hold a final rally ahead of the polls next week. . first, thousands of survivors of a massive landslide in afghanistan's north-east are situating for food and -- still waiting f waiting for food and medical help. rescuers have all but abandoned the search for 2,000 missing and switched the focus to recovering body. more than 300 have been recovered so far. the disaster happened in bernie madoff -- in a remote province. this man tend to than injured boy. this child is one of the luck which ones. this clinic is one of several set up near the disaster area.

>> translation: we found aninjured child who was trapped in the mud. he has injury and is undergoing treatment. >> many other people were not so fortunate. when the landslide happened it entombed most of the village. statements of the number of people killed vary, but it's clear there has been a substantial loss of life. >> translation: after the landslide happened i came here along with my friend. we couldn't rescue relatives. a huge number of people have been killed. a number of others have trapped. >> for many survivors, home is a tent. aid agencies say they have their work cut out and there are fears that the hillside that fell on the community is so unstable it

could happen again. >> a team has just arrived and we have this update. >> the villagers tell me that aid has cox. it's temporary but not organised. they want transparency in terms of delivering aid to the people, people that have suffered or survived the land slide. getting the said to this area is challenging for the organization. mountains, geography is challenging to get the aid required on time to the people

>> the yemen army step up its offense i-in the south. the army -- offensive in the south. >> the army sent troops after u.s. and yemeni drone strikes. 20 government soldiers and fighters have been killed. at least three people have been killed in two separate bomb attacks in the kenyan port city of mombassa. others have been wounded. there's no claim of responsibility. the government is blaming similar attacks on a group by al-shabab. a warning that the pictures will bedisturbing. >> this is all that was left of the bus that was targeted. attacks threw a grenade at it and a group of peakers while riding past. blood stained the street as emergency services arrived to carry away the injured. >> translation: i saw three dead after the blast.

there were many injured. we took eight people to hospital, more took themselves to get treatment. >> minutes later a second attack in the same city. a bag with an improvised explosive device was spotted near the mombassa hotel. people passing buy took cover before it was detonated. remarkably no one was killed. >> police say they don't have an explanation to for who was behind the plast. kenya has gm -- become a target. it's punishing troops for crossing into somalia. mombassa is a port and a draw card for tourists. president kenyatta says it's attacks like these that are bringing the tourism industry to its knees. ukraine's prime minister has sacked the police chief of odessa for not stopping friday's

violence. he has promised a full investigation after more than 40 pro-russian demonstrators died. many died in a fire after being trapped inside an occupied trade union building. jonah hull is in odessa. >> reporter: unsurprisingly there are competing contrasting narratives about what happened here on friday, depending on which side you speak to the pro-russian side. they insist that many who died in the burning building were victims of mob justice carried out by supporters. in kiev, on the other side, a peaceful march was broken up by gun-wielding pro-russian mobs. there were overarching questions as to who started the fire when they were both logging molotov cocktails at each other. the government suggested that there is evidence among the dead

is russian militants. well, turning to the police for answers is not going to help. they simply say the government-led commission of inquiry is under way, but interestingly the prime minister from kiev are sending viktor yanukovych - he is in -- the prime minister arseniy yatsenyuk is in odessa. the ukranians are in the east to try to stop forces taking over more towns. soldiers have made gains in an anti-terror operation. in slovyansk forces surrounded the city. in another eastern town kramatorsk, the government says its offensive goes on and they sent more troops. it's separatists in other areas gaining the upper hand. they stepped up security, reinforcing barricades. >> seven military observers in europe that had been held

hostage in eastern ukraine arrived in germany. they were captured more than a week ago. the cap tore said they set the observers free without conditions. let's talk to demritry babich, a political analyst who joins me were moscow. let's look at the bigger picture. and the question people are asking themselves is is ukraine lurching towards war. >> well, i hope this is not the case. certainly there's a terrible miscommunication between authorities in kiev and russian-speaking regions in the south. there's a terrible communication in russia, the united states and yuan zai. both sides don't want to listen to each other, and sometimes, you know, there are just immoral ways of behaviour.

for example, the fact that authorities in kiev did not express condolences to the families of more than 40 activists burnt alive in odessa. i think it is appalling. these people could be political opponents, people in power in kiev, but they were ukranian citizens. >> three days of mourning has been announced by kiev. >> in odessa. unfortunately in odessa. >> yes, they are referring to what happened in odessa. let's move on - i have been reading vass ill krutov's explanation, he's the head of the anti-terror center. he's reported as saying this "what we are facing in donetsk and eastern region is not a short-lived uprising, it is, in fact, a war." so there's almost confirmation there from kiev, isn't there? >> well, i think that the

dramatic language which authorities in kiev uses puts into question their own plans. they planned to hold the presidential elections on 25 may. what kind of an access can there be if the country is in a state of war is this so there are lots of contradictions in the plans and in the statements of the authorities in kiev. certainly i think it's a tragedy that in a modern european country you have troops using aviation and helicopters and tanks, creating a rebellion in the east of the country, and we don't hear condemnation from the e.u. or the united states. just recently the u.n. and the united states told mr viktor yanukovych the former president that if he used army in kiev, that he would cross the red line. now the authorities in kiev who have not been elected, they are using the army, and we don't here condemnation.

to my mind what is the most important is total lack of communication, both sides want their guys to win, and they don't stop at anything. >> what is a lack of communication at the beginning. do you believe the yuan zai was naive in thinking moscow would stand eyedly by -- idly buy while ukraine slipped out of its orbit. >> i think mistakes were made from the beginning. it grew out of a minor misunderstanding. mr viktor yanukovych said he wanted to postpone the signing of the agreement with the e.u. he didn't cancel it, he postponed it. he suggested trilateral negotiations between the e.u., ukraine and moscow. a reasonable step. at the time the e.u. said no, we'll only talk to kiev. so these negotiations took place

recently in geneva, but it was too late. so many tragic events happened. the top lipping of viktor yanukovych, the russian take over - we needed the tragic event for the side to start talking. >> in geneva, the west, they refused to see the representatives. they said we are only going to talk to russia, and the west delayed. whatever we speak or say about the uprising in the east of ukraine, there may be gun men, but there are lots of civilians. if you watch the western television, you can't avoid seeing that request bility a lot of people protesting much. these are old women, children, middle age women who don't trust the new government.

>> thank you for joining us from moscow. i want to go to odessa, we have more after the fire on friday. let's talk to jonah hull, who is live for us there. what is the latest? >> well, you refrt to the removal -- removal of the police chief that happened on saturday when the deputy chief was removed after a riot ensued after a march through the city, which moved to a building that had been a de facto or a square that had been the de facto base of pro-russian protestors, the building was set on fire as the groups threw molotov cocktails. inside dozens perished, burnt or soffo kated to death, while --

suffocated while the police outside did little to prevent or stop the violence. >> the police chief as sacked. that was something the government did. on sunday prime minister arseniy yatsenyuk arrived in odessa to pay his respects and to show his personal concern for this appalling turn of events. he held a press conference and has laid the blame for what happened at the feet of the police and the security services and says there'll be a route and branch upheaval. he stressed at root the cause was the provocation by pro-russian protesters and the government alleges pro-russian gunmen. >> thank you for that update. >> campaigning for the presidential election started with much action taking place online. siskiyou is one of two

candidates running in the may 26th poll. he started the campaign with a message from twitter. he said i promise to work hard and i ask everyone to assume responsibility with me. building the nation is the responsibility of us all. stability and hope will be achieved through well and capabilities. >> the only candidate challenging siskiyou is hamdeen sabehe. he's been campaigning telling followers on twitter "we will complete our dreams" he's the leader of popular current and came third in the 2012 election. >> a trial of three al jazeera journalist detained in egypt has been adjourned until may the 15 uth. peter greste, mohamed fadel fahmy and mohamed badr are accused of falsifying news. a fourth journalist al jazeera

arabic's abdullah al-shami has been detained since august. he's been on hunger strike for 106 days. al jazeera rejects all charges. peter greste's father says he hopes his son can find the strength to endure such an ordeal. >> his number one priority, as we are hoping for him is to make sure that he keeps himself as wholly together from day to day as is possible. and, you know, no doubt his faith, his belief, is that if he can keep going that, then perhaps he may not be too daunted if it run, you know, a year's anniversary. president obama emphasised the importance of a free press during the annual white house correspondents' dinner, making references to journalists who risked their lives and liberty

in places like egypt. >> tonight reminds us that we really are lucky to life in a country where reporters get to give a head of state a hard time on a daily basis, and then once a year give him or her the chance, at least, to return the favour. we know that not every journalist or photographer or crew member is so fortunate. because even as we celebrate the free press tonight or thoughts are with those in places around the globe like ukraine and afghanistan and syria and egypt. who risk everything, in some cases give their lives to report the news. you're watching the newshour coming from doha - coming up, anger in northern ireland as police question republican leader gerry adams. senigallia shoe makers struggle to compete with the rise in

swallow for ourselves. by the way, including the president. it is clear that somewhere along the line our open institutions which we have confidence in, they failed us somewhere along the line. we need to correct them. >> along with allegations of corruption, poor service delivery, unemployment this could be an important election. >> the a.n.c. has delivered for many people. it has delivered more housing. it has delivered more electricity. it's important because although the a.n.c. has delivered the services, the services are under threat. so people who have access to water often get cut off. people who get access to electricity. this man is note voting, in process. >> i didn't renew my membership, because i don't concur with what

in the past they have attacked the muslim community because they feared that muslims are illegally coming into india from neighbouring bangladesh. so that seems to be the fundamental problem between the two communities. at the moment at this time india is having national elections in the state. and they have noted. the muslim communities were attacked because they did not want the candidate. >> the election having impact. yes, that's correct. in addition to the people that have been killed, also at least 500 people. they have fled their homes and are currently living in temporary relief shelters. they are too afraid to go back

home. security has been stepped up. security staff are working day or night to prevent the situation. the fear is that there'll be a repeat of something that happened in 2012 in clashes between the community and the tribe leading to 100 people being killed and 400,000 being displaced from their homes. the army has been called in they are expecting more reinforcements to prevent an occurrence of what we saw a few years ago. >> thank you. too northern ireland where police are still holding republican leader gerry adams. it's the fifth day. he's been questioned about his involvement in the murder of jean mcconville. the mother of 10 was killed by member of the irish republican army. >> reporter: the arrest of the gerry adams is reviving old

it's now part of mr adams's irish parliamentary constituency. the coincidence, and his arrest by police may prove too much for some irish voters. >> but local observers believe that mr adams power base is assured for now. >> gerry adams was elected in 2011 with 15,000 votes. first part of the post. he'd have to lose 7,000 for his seat to be in danger. to lose 50% is unlikely. everyone is talking about this arrest. it is what he's been arrested about, it is a serious matter. what is in the public domain. if it doesn't manifest itself, i don't think there'll be significant long-term damage. >> ghosts of the past are never far away in ireland. once again they are haunting gerry adams political future. a papal advisory board says it will bring in measures to hold bishops accountable if they
