welcome to the "news hour." three days of mourning in ukraine. the prime minister blames the police. aid finally arrives at the site of a landslide in afghanistan, but thousands are villagers are still missing. two explosions hit the kenyan port city of mombasa. striking a balance between too much and too little. we're in australia to find out

how much sunshine we need every day. first, ukraine's prime minister is blaming police in the city of odessa for failing to stop friday's violence that left 40 dead. three days of mourning have been declared across the country. he says the security forces were inefficient and broke the law. odessa's regional police chief has been fired and the state prosecutor has been told to start a full investigation of every police officer involved. more than 40 people were killed during riots in the city on friday. most were pro-russia activists killed after being trapped inside a burning building. whereabouts in odessa are you, and what's happening there?

>> reporter: steven, i'm outside a police station in the center of the city. it's a branch of the local city police where a large angry crowd has gathered outside. it appears as though they were demanding the release of a number of people who were arrested on thursday night at that burning building. we may, we think, be in the particular police station. the crowd is extremely angry the athe police. they believe that the police could have done more and didn't to prevent or stop the violence on friday night. a one point a few minutes ago a young man climbed up the wall of the police station and took down the ukrainian flag flying outside and replaced it with a flag of the city of odessa. it isn't by any means clear at this moment that they plan to storm the police station. there is a large contingent of police outside that have been

pushed to one side. they're not offering much resistance at this stage. the crowd is chanting, fascists, fascists, fascists. >> jonah, three dailies -- days of morning has been declared. the police chief is out. will this help reduce tension or not? >> reporter: not in this city and not in any immediate sense at all. the prime minister has been here during the course of the day. he places the blame for what happened on friday night, which is an immensely shocking event to happen in this city, on the police for their failure to act and on russia for instigating the violence and for placing people in amongst the crowds who incited the violence. i was inside that burned-out building earlier on. people were dazed, shocked and angry. they totally reject the idea

this was a russian-instigated operation. they blame it entirely on the government in kiev who they say as being fascists riddled with right ring nationalists belong to the wide sector group. that is the heart of the anger in this corner of the city, at least at the moment, and what he has to say about it is of no interested to anyone here. >> why they blaming the police for the fire as the two groups clashed on friday? >> reporter: it's clear the police were slow to act, in fact, they barely did anything at all. quite why that is the case is the subject of some speculation. the government suggests it's historical corruption within the police force that led the police to decide to act on their own interests rather than the

interests of the crowd. the substance of that allegation is why they decided to act in that way is by no means clear. clearly the government is trying to put forward what they hope is a proactive face on all of this by firing the police chief and instituting an immediate commission of inquiry. i'm afraid that the people involved in all of this most directly since we don't believe their version of events. >> jonah hull reporting from outside that police station in odessa where tensions with building. thanks, joe that. in eastern ukraine government troops are continuing their operations to sop pro-russian rebels from taking more towns. ukrainian forces are manning checkpoints in slovyansk. in the eastern city ukrainian forces appear to have withdrawn. that follows clashes between

government forces and russian activists in the city the previous day. burned-out vehicle were found on saturday reportedly set on fire by russian activists to block the approach of ukrainian soldiers. alexei is a political analyst from the national university of kiev and he joins me now from kiev. first of all, is the feeling where you are that ukraine is lurching towards all-out war? >> well, let me try to explain the situation. what we see now is russian infiltration into eastern and southern parts of ukraine. that's what we have. actually, we have undeclared war by russia, not between the ukrainians themselves. i can give you some polls.

according to the polls east and south of ukraine, only 15% would like to secede from ukraine, and more than 70% are in favor of staying in ukraine. in odessa, 7% would like to secede, 80% are in favor of being within ukraine, but this separa separatist minority is very aggressive and supported by russian forces. there's a lot of proof. there are the hours it takes and there are material facts. they are all underground. if i may cam bock to the story in odessa, it started with a large pro-ukrainian rally, and then pro-russian people started to kill them. that was the beginning of the tragedy. so it's important to remember,

the police, i would agree with mr. yatsenyuk who is the prime minister, because the problem with the police is the former president was totally corrupt, and the police was corrupt. it was infiltrated by russian special services. both political and security services. so now we have a huge problem, how to restore actually ukrainian police. >> the whole point is that ukrainians security forces seem to be losing the battle, don't they? they failed to stop the gradual take-over of the eastern and southern regions by the separatists. >> no, no. okay, okay. first of all, let's start -- let's talk first about remember crimea. we were telling that we know people who have nothing to do with the russian army.

finally it feared it was the russian army. what we have now in eastern ukraine, its not easy. it's so-called anti-terrorist operation, but we should be clear about them. these are armed people who are armed with the help of russians, who are armed with russian weapons and who are directed by russians. so that's important to understand. again, it's not just civic disobedience or a civil war in the ukraine. it's russian infiltration. what we expect from the west actually, we expect stronger sanctions against mr. putin for violation of the order of the possible and impossible treaties which were signed by international communities and which were signed between russia and ukraine. you know, which inspectors

inspect this organization of security and incorporation in europe, we're taken as hostages is unthinkable. they were released yesterday by the efforts of the international community. they were finally, good, but they spent more than a week in the arms of terrorists. how would you call them? how would you react to this armed bandits who actually not only -- >> this is what we're going to be looking at for the next few days to see exactly kiev reacts to that week of detention. thanks for joining us. >> not only kiev but also the international community. thank you. add supplies are starting to arrive at the site of a landslide in northeast afghanistan. more than 2,000 people are still missing. a national day of mourning has been declarped. the united nations says about

a huge number of people have been killed, and a number of others are trapped under the mud. >> reporter: for many survivors home is now an improvised tent. with thousands displaced by the disaster, aid agencies say they have their work cut out, and there are fears that the hillside that fell on this community is so unstable it could happen again. dominick cain, al jazeera. >> our team is in the disaster area in northeast afghanistan. abdullah shahood has more. >> reporter: the villagers say the aid has come. it's temporary aid, but for now the aid is not organized. it is not distributed properly. they want more transparency in terms of delivering this aid to the needy people, to the people who basically have suffered or survived this massive landslide. now, getting the aid to this

area has been a very challenging task for the government or for the aid organizations. the roads are washed out by the floods in the past one week. the mountains, the geography is very challenging to get all those aid required on time to these people. at least 11 people have been killed during fighting in the iraqi city of fallujah west of baghdad held by anti-government fighters for more than four months. reporting suggest at least four were wounded when shelling hit parts of the area. a suicide car bomber has killed six soldiers in southern yemen. it happened where the army launched an offensive against fighters with al qaeda in the arabian peninsula. hundreds of military vehicles have been sent for reinforcement. more than 60 fighters have been killed since the campaign began

waiting passengers while rieth past on a bike. bloodstained the street as emergency services arrives to carry away the injured. >> translator: i saw three people dead immediately after the blast. there were many injured. we took about eight to hospital, but many more took themselves to get treatment. >> reporter: minutes later a second attack in the same city. a bag with an explosive device was spotted near the reef hotel. people passing by managed to take cover before it debt anyway -- detonated and no one was killed. police don't have an explanation yet for who was behind the blast, but kenya is a target for the some maully-based rebel group al shabaab. in response the kenyan government launched operation watch last december. it's been described by critics

as police harassment of so malis living in kenya, but on sunday the kenyan police said the operation would be intensified. >> this operation is not going to be maybe as tough or maybe reduce the momentum of this anywhere in the future. if anything, we will increase it the intensity of it. >> reporter: it's been over two and a half years since the kenyan defense forces entered so mali to push ail sha al shabaab. a conflict they hoped would happen inside somali continues to take the live of kenyans. still to come on the news hour, senat shoemakers try to c with the chinese shoemakers. preserving a national

nefrlgs, they kept on going. he used his charismatic nature to charm those that stayed behind. he spoke in local languages, but his main aim is we understand we made some mistakes and we're trying to fix them. he didn't touch too much on the fact he's accused of spending taxpayer money on his private residence. he spoke about other issues as well. he spoke about land. it's about time south africa fast tracked the landownership program. only about 5% of land has been redistributed to black people. most of the good, fertile land is still in white hands. he promised he will address that. before that, some people came up on the stage and said we want to know why so many people don't have houses? we want to know so many people don't have water. give us a solution to the corruption scandals going on. he came under heavy fire from supporters, but he tried to hold it together as people left the

radical policies about nationalization, doubling workers' salaries and doubling social grants as well. not a lot of detail into how that will be paid for, but if you ask most people here, they simply don't care. they're looking for an energetic alternative to the anc. >> tonya page reporting. many thanks indeed. a magnitude 6.6 earthquake hit deep in the pacific ocean. the epicenter was 500 kilometers south of fiji. it was followed by a second quake further south. no tsunami warning was issued. that is good news, but here's probably some bad news about weather. here's richard. >> it's mixed news. we're looking at unsettled weather across china although the moment. if we look at the northern portions, we have a big spiral of clouds and the low pressure

center. another frontal system pushing out across japan, and it's with this system on the northern size that had pretty chilly weather. temperatures below average. these shots come from the province in the north. you can see the hailstorms there affect the region. it looks like the weather will remain unsettled in the coming day or so across the region. we take a look at the forecast and some snow and quite a frontal system extending across a good part of japan 24 hours before it all pushes away into the pacific as we head through towards tuesday. further towards the south, we see the weather front that's a clash between the dry air from inland and that warm, moist air from the pacific. so we will start to see rainfall totals starting to increase. so this is the valley over the comes days, so we have rainfall totals in the last 24 hours sore so. heavy rain across much of taiwan

capital of dakar. >> reporter: he started to learn to make shoes from his grandfather when he was just five years old. he even quit school to take over the family shoemaking business, but since then his income has halved because instead people buy shoes made in china. >> translator: i talk about it with our shoemakers. what will happen to us and our families ten years from now? our job is attacked. >> reporter: the shoes cost about $8 for a pair. the profit margin is slim. they're strong and well-built, but around the corner from his shop is a market with thousands of different shoes all different colors and designs and all of them made in chinese factories. this one is very similar, but it doesn't feel nearly as strong. it only costs about $4. that's about half the price. so it's very difficult for the svengali shoemakers to compete. just across the road, city south does a roaring trade selling imported chinese trinkets and

purses. he says he loves china. he even made enough money to fly there for a visit. >> translator: if you want to make money, you can only do it with chinese goods. it's the only way forward. as long as what you sell is beautiful, people will buy it. >> reporter: as african business booms, china is cashing in. it already overtook the u.s. as africa's largest trading partner in 2009. >> it feels like we have another cold war between the united states and china. >> reporter: political analyst says china gains advantage in africa by keeping quiet about democracy and human rights. >> if china says i'm here to do business and trade, and i'm not going involved in your internal affairs unlike the u.s., uk and european union. >> reporter: as the global economy shifts east, there are winners and losers.

construction companies in mumbai. he's a jain, a follower of a branch of the hindu faith. in january this year they recorded minority status making them the sixth official minority communities in india. minority status gives them preferential treatment in business and education. financial loans are easier to access. but this recent move by the government could be interpreted as one to attract votes in the general election. he told me that this wouldn't sway anyone in the jain community. calls for the minority status have been ongoing for decades mainly to protect the jain doctrine and community. there are other advantages. >> more and more people will go into the field of education. it will increase schools' qualities. they'll be able to -- 50% of

them will have their own community. then it will benefit the public. >> reporter: across the city, another business entrepreneur and his wife know that the reserved place for their daughter in the future means the pressure is off her to retain top marks. the move by politicians doesn't mean he's an easy pushover when it comes to voting. >> i'm give my vote to a person to make the country great. i wouldn't name any party or any belief, but definitely if he is going -- if he is for the country, he will begin it. >> the jain community is less than 10% of more than 1 billion in the country, yet they're seen as a community of successful businessmen and women who contribute millions to the economy. >> they're in danger to get minority status because in the business communities, they're

not very happy with the current governing. that might be the reason to give this status to them. >> reporter: in a general election every vote counts. any move to support or favor a minority group could mean the difference between winning or losing the general election. only when the votes are counted will anyone know if it was the right move or not. much more to come on the news hour including documents and money from patient migrants in brazil searching for a better life. panama gets a $13 billion makeover. the kentucky derby winner celebrated a difficult journey to success in sports. if i told you that a free ten-second test could mean less waiting for things like security backups

there have been developments since we last talked. what's happened? >> reporter: in the last 15 minutes sore or so this angry crowd that gathered outside the central police station in odessa believing that a number of people arrested on friday are held inside, in the last 15 minutes these people have managed to gain access to the police station breaking down a vehicle garage door at the side of the building making they're way in and smashing windows, smashing furniture and doors on the inside. the crowd several hundred strong has been ringed by a line of riot police trying to localize the violence as traffic passes by and people continue to go about their business. but inside that ring of police and the crowd is continuing to try and gain access chanting loudly words like freedom,

fascists and the words we will not forget. of course, they blame the police in large part for failing to stop the violence that happened on friday night, and they believe that the people held inside the cells are innocent civilians who were set upon by mo mobs from the government in kiev. >> an update from odessa. thank you. let's go back to afghanistan. the landslide there and we'll talk to the humanitarian coordinator in the country in the capital of kabul. i don't know if you've been to the affected area or your organization has. what are the problems you're facing there? >> well, our teams are there at the moment, and i dare to say that yesterday we delivered 80 tons of food from the world food program, shelter materials

arrives, and medical teams are on the ground there as well and also teams are there to help children who have become separated from their parents. we're now dealing with 4,000-odd people who have been displaced by the landslide, and today has also been declared a day of national mourning because all rescue efforts to find any bodies were discontinued because their houses that were buried we now estimate are under 50 to 70 meters of soil. >> is there a risk, mark, of another landslide? >> reporter: i don't think so, not in that place. but what we had today was some in other parts of the country, and this has been a bad year for natural disaster in afghanistan. we now have a total of 68,000 people displaced in the -- in

this part of the year, and the death toll is probably in the region of 1200 people at least from the landslides. so we are considering -- while our relief supplies are fine for the immediate term, we may be well looking at an appeal to help resettle and provide reconstruction support for all those that have been displaced. >> you'll make that decision soon, no doubt. what are you focusing on? >> well, what we're focusing on at the moment is meeting the immediate needs. it's cold and wet. people need to be kept warm and need shelter and materials. they need blankets and cooking materials and those are being provided. food is there. they also are deeply shocked and we've been able to provide some sort of psycho-social support to

the families. we just plan for how we help people to rebuild their lives, find new locations and to start fresh. >> give us the figures that you have. you've given me one of 4,000 displaced people. what is your estimate of the numbers who have died and of those still missing? >> well, the estimates of those that died are still being looked at. there was a first landslide where 300 houses were destroyed, and then apparently a wedding party and group of people probably numbering 250 went to try and rescue them. they were caught in the second landslide that occurred. we think that there will certainly be 500 dead in this one village, and there could be more. overall with this landslide and

the floods we've had in the last few weeks, our estimate is that there will be at least 1500 people who we know will have died, and as i said, the overall number at this pace apart from this village is in the range of 68,000 people. >> mark bowden, the u.n. coordinator in afghanistan. thanks for joining us. >> thank you. the trial of three al jazeera journalists detained in egypt has been adjourned until may 15th this time. they're accuse of falsifying news and conspireing with the muslim brotherhood am it's been declared a terrorist organization by the government. a fourth journalist has been detained since august. he's been on a hunger strike for 104 days. al jazeera rejects the charges. peter's father says he hopes
