we are ment to be your first choice for the news. >> hello, welcome to the news hour. showing he cares, turkish president visits the town where 282 miners were killed. there are allegations that this photograph shows an advisor to the prime minister attacking a protestor. also to come, japan angers china with proposals to allow japanese

troops to fight overseas. >> the 9/11 museum in new york is proving controversial for almost everybody. there have been dozens of if you know release in turkey for miners killed in an eggs motion on tuesday. the president has been visiting the site where 282 people lost their lives. he protectioned sympathies, but many are angry about poor safety standards. the main labor unions called a strike and there have been protests in other parts of the country. this is the nearest big city to where the accident happened. >> we can go to our correspondent in istanbul at the moment, but first, let's go

where the worst mining disaster has occurred. more burials today and the rescue operation or the recovery operation continues. into this mix comes the president. >> the president has been visiting the mine shaft behind me. the situation there still very depressing, because it's so long since they've had a rescued live person come before the crowds. in fact, more than 18 hours now, we're told. we're now in a position where no one is really sure how many miners remain underneath the earth. it could be a number, it's in a excess of 150, 160, which is the official estimate. it's undoubtedly going to take the death toll well into the 300s and that is an abyss ma'am

situation. as the grief goes on, the anger is building right across the country. here, it manifests itself in many different wayses. i've just come back from a town which has if you know release going on in every district. this is what i saw. >> the grief is intense filing, so many young lives lost during work that is underpaid. >> only a few weeks away from becoming a sergeant in the army, they married seven months ago with big plans for the future. >> all over the town are gatherings like this. it is a town consumed by grief and now the underlying anger is beginning to show more and more. >> some of of the anger is subdued, a feeling of social injustice that such high risk should be taken to earn a

living. >> we're very worried. we don't have a safe secure job, we send them to work every day, but don't know if they'll make it back. >> he was like my own son. he grew up with me. my insides are on fire. we complain about safety standards, but they don't care. >> elsewhere in the town, the anger is spontaneous, but not physical. these are mostly miners, some now retired, many still working. they say safety standards have suffered since mine privatization in 2005. >> before the privatization, it was very good, but now they don't value people's lives. they just want to get coal out and the money in. >> in the town, no one is counting numbers as the seemingly continuous list of victims is read out over the public address system. this town that's dependent on coal mining that supplies its

thermal power station is seething with emotion over the safety question. whether this will have political impact on the government is unclear. >> this is the scene which greeted the president and what sort of reception did he get, given the rather frosty reception he got that the prime minister received when he arrived? >> according to the reports we've seen since he left here, he left here as a somber situation, one which is dignified as best is can be and even if people wanted to protest, i don't think they would do in this setting here. in the town, we've heard no reports of incidents, but as you refer to the incident yesterday involving the prime minister, that was not a huge demonstration, but it was violent, heated. whether it was spontaneous or heavily organized is slightly unclear, but there is a

hostility here. naturally, it would seem if there is a safety issue, there's going to be massive anger at so many lives lost, so many poorly paid people in an industry that is more poorly paid in turkey than other parts of the world, europe in particular. we're finding now that we're looking at a situation whereby there is as seething anger, some of it is spontaneous, but the political impact remains to be seen in terms of how this plays out. andrew simmons, thank you. our correspondent is in istanbul. andrew is talking about the anger sweeping through the country not being placated by this picture that has gone viral purportedly of an advisor to the prime minister actually attacking one of those

protestors. >> yes, a protestor being held down by a couple of turkish special forces and this advisor to the president photographed earlier in the day walking closely behind the prime minister as he visited the area taking advantage of this manned helplessness to get his point across. the governor can't be approving of what he did, creating an outrage on social media in turkey. the problem that the government has is far greater than what people might assume from actions of people in the prime ministers team. it is that this incident in the mine hasn't come out of the blue. this is not the first mining accident in turkey. in fact, quite the opposite. turkey has an appalling record not only on mine safety, but on workplace accidents as a whole, the highest in europe for

workplaces in general. as far as mining accidents go, the cost to turkey is the worst in the world, five times as many turks die extracting a ton of coal than die in china, a country thought to have a terrible workplace safety record in its mining industry, turkey, five times worse than china. this of course, not a new accident. we had the worst accident in turkey until this one, 260 odd miners killed in an accident in 1992. that is so long ago, the lessons from that clearly not learned and we covered in 2010 a 30 man fatality where the same points were made, the same questions raised about the privatization process, about the subcontracting of running mines to profit focused industries,

about the failures of regulation, about the lack of inadequate inspectors, turkeys failure to sign up to mining safety protocols, all of these issues have been raised before and they're going to be raise the again. it's clear from the scale of this disaster, no this is not the only disaster here this year, but turkey has not yet come to grips with the questions raised about the problems in its mining industry. this is why there is so much anger against the government now. >> so much profit. >> so much anger. >> thank you very much indeed and thank you to andrew simmons in the west of turkey. >> early in his presidency, president obama promised a pivot to asia. yet today, we're seeing china's neighbors growing ever more nervous. japan looks to end the constitutional ban on fighting

overseas. we have the view from beijing. then there's the philippines has just released surveillance pictures it says show china secretly reclaiming a reef claimed by manila. first, let's go to vietnam. people there have been burning and looting factories they believe to be chinese-owned. >> days of protest in ho chi minh city, buildings scorched and chinese nationals targeted. in the past 24 hours, violence has peaked, leaving more than 20 dead. some were vietnamese, but the majority believed to be chinese. it's a rare outbreak of public disorder in a tightly controlled country. >> in recent days, the beatings, loot i go and arson that were targeted at chinese companies and personnel are directly related to vietnam's indulgence of anti chinese forces within

its territory. we urge the vietnamese government to ernest live take responsibility, conduct a thorough investigation and compensate our losses. >> hundreds of chinese reported to have been escaping the violence through border posts. so many nationals have been mistakenly attacked, japan's government has expressed concern for its people and businesses in the country and south korean and taiwan he's nationals have been caught up. >> we are determined to fulfill our duty, to protect the special zones and territories.

>> the placement of the oil rig is just one of many recent attempts by china to push its claim on most of the south china sea, looking for richer fishing grounds and a share of the oil and gas reserves. several others claim parts of the area, too. police said wednesday more than 400 were arrested since the protests began. china's foreign ministry has said it's shocked against the aggression against its nationals and urged vietnam's government to help protect them. >> the philippines government said it has proof china is violating an agreement over the disputed islands. manila released these military surveillance photographs it says shows chinese land reclamation on one of the islands. beijing said the island is part of chinese territory. china, the philippines and nine

other asian countries signed an agreement aimed at protecting conflict in this disputed area. >> japan's prime minister is supporting a proposal to end a ban on its military fighting overseas to defend allies. this recommendation opens up a domestic debate about japans pass sift constitution and is alarming china. we report from beijing. >> japan's pass sift constitution forbids a conventional military. it that a self defense force. but to japan's neighbors, it still looks like the real thing, even though japan's not fired a shot against an enemy in almost 70 years. that could be about to change. >> the japanese constitution was created with the hope of bringing happiness to the people. currently, i do not believe that it says we should abandon our responsibility to protect the lives of japanese people.

le prime minister declared support for a release of the constraints on military. he doesn't need the approval of parliament, all that's required is a simple decision by cabinet. the shift in defense policy comes at a time of rising territorial friction between china and some of its neighbors, most notably, vietnam, the philippines and japan. north korea is another cause of tension. any plan to redefine the role of japan's military will worsen relations here in china, where deep bitterness remains over. >>. as occupation of the country that began in the early 1930 said. the worry here is that only change in security policy could mark the first steps towards the new era of japanese militarism.

>> i do not think militarism will be revived in the short term with japan and leading countries again, but in the long run, it is moving that direction. >> the prime minister has pledged that japan will never send troops overseas to fight war alone, but he knows that many ordinary japanese remain wary about even the slightest tinkering with their pass 50 constitution. aljazeera. >> >> we have more to come, including the trial of three aljazeera journalists resuming in cairo as their defense team makes their case. >> separating palestinian families, lebanon makes it harder for refugees to cross the border from syria. >> coming up in sport, fresh allegation of widespread match fixing in cricket.

>> a dude knees court sentence add pregnant woman to death for leaving islam. the court had given her until thousand dollars abandon her christian faith. she first sentenced to 100 lashes for marrying a christian. local media report say the sentence will be carried out after her child was two years old. the 27-year-old says she was always to christian and did not convert to islam. let's find out more about this. it seems as if this woman is being punished over a gross misunderstanding, because she claims that she was never a muslim and the court has decided

that she was. >> this is the case. they have charged her, but when they ask her, the court, if she was a christian -- if she was a muslim and she changed her religion to christian, she said no, i'm a christian. she said that in a very clear words, but nevertheless, the judge sentenced her for death by hanging and 100 lashes. >> how representative is a case like this in the sudan of today? how often does this kind of case come up? >> actually, it's not about this case alone. it's about the context, the whole picture.

in sudan, may not have been sentenced with the criminal law, which is issued in 1991 and for the first time in sudan history, there is an article like this which is prohibiting the people from changing their religion and sentence them to death if they do so, and since 1991, this law even after 2005, when they issued the new constitution, which is come with a bill of rights and match the human rights standard, this article didn't change. so, you can read this article and you can read this case with the whole context. this operation and even after the secession, they turn their policies, the poles wimp lead

led the country to secession in the first place, the policies of proposed unilateral interpretation even to islam, which had led the country to divide two countries and which has burned the whole country with cars in darfur, in blue nile, so this is a situation in sudan, which is now the case is an example of what is happening now in sudan. thank you very much indeed for explaining a little bit more about events in sudan today. now let's go to syria where at least 25 people have been killed in a car bomb explosion very close to the border with turkey. the incident happened near the border crossing in the northern syrian province of aleppo.

five women and three children were among the dead. lets take you live to london, where the british foreign secretary william hague is holding a news conference, meeting diplomats from the london 11, the call group of the friends of the syrian people. >> it depends on russian's behavior. >> also john kerry is there. we'll find out what's going on a little later here on aljazeera. >> 10 people have been killed, both involving suicide car bombers in central baghdad. the first blast happened near a government hospital, the second near a civil court. 46 people were injured. the latest hearing in the trial of three aljazeera journalists

has been adjourned. it was the eighth court sitting in the long running case against the three. they are falsely accused of conspiring with the outlawed muslim brother hood and imprisoned. aljazeera rejects the charges against them. they will be in court on the 22 of may. >> a video leaked from a cairo prison showing detained aljazeera arabic correspondent, recorded last week five days before taken from his cell. his family said he is now held in solitaire confinement. he has been on hunger strike for 115 days and this week, his lawyer asked the egyptian authorities to transfer him to hospital. he's been in custody without charge since arrested last august.

>> despite the authorities knowing this, i have been detained for 206 days without any charge and without committing any crime. i record this media after i have reached 106 days of my hunger strike to hold the egyptian government, the judiciary and general prosecutor here my responsibility if anything ever happens to me. i have requested several medical check ups from independent sources and yet this has not been provided. i have also haven't gotten any medical care here inside the prison, and this is recorded for

the history and the fate of documenting my fate and thus whatever it is, either my health fails to leave or anything happens to my safety, i hold the egyptian regime the responsibility of that. >> we now can talk to allison mackenzie, the director with the international press institute joining us from vienna. first of all, can we get your thoughts on that rather distressing video from our colleague, who so believes in his cause that he's prepared not to take food for so many days? >> of course when you first see the video, the first thing that comes to my mind is the bravery, his bravery in being able to actually speak out and to let us

see and hear what did he say going through. i think he said it very well, that he was just doing his job as a reporter, and this is where he is now. i am very, very concerned as is the entire world, i think and the journalism community at large, the journalism fraternity about his health antinternational press institute urges the egyptian government to get him independent medical treatment as soon as possible. in fact, he should probably be in a hospital right now, so we're extraordinarily concerned about him. while bravery is a good thing, it's really important to us that he is taken care of and that we don't lose him. >> meanwhile, our other colleagues who made a court appearance and the trial was adjourned yet again have still remain in jail, of course and

are due to come back to court later in the month. where do you see this going? do you think that the egyptian judiciary is prepared to make a stand and protect its independence, if you like or do you think it's likely to cowtow to the egyptian government? >> i actually believe that the judiciary will do its job and do it well, but the problem is that this is taking an extraordinarily long time and still, i think we're not clear of what really the evidence is. the journalists is not only aljazeera journalists, but there are a number of journalists in jail in egypt. of course, overwhelmingly, the number tend to be aljazeera journalists, but we call for the release of all of the journalists, and if there is some clear evidence that the journalists have done something other than their job, then that evidence should be shown to aljazeera and to the rest of the

world. i'm hopeful that the judiciary will live up to its oath, the justices will live up to their oath and try the case and be expeditious about it, but i'm, to be honest, not sure that that will happen. it's been a long time that these journalists have been held, and as i said, we have not seen the evidence, and we call for the release of peter and everyone else and certainly -- >> thank you very much indeed for talking to us. >> oh, sorry, thank you. >> thank you for talking to us live. >> time for the weather. here's richard. >> looking at the balkans where they've had exceptionally bad weather. i'm trying to think why this would be the case. we're still in spring time with a contrast of cold air and warm air coming up from the mediterranean this time of year.

certainly this cloud looks threatening. it is associated with low pressure, quite low for this time of year, producing an awful lot of rainfall, just been pulling out some of the rainfall stretching across parts of romania. it's across serbia, bosnia, herself go vin i can't with rai. you're looking at 120 millimeters of rain. when you put that in context of what they get during the course of the month of may, you can see it's all fairly constant through the year, rainfall 80-805. bosnia across the region, there's going to be a swath of heavy rain, probably another 50

to perhaps 100 mill legalities of rain. you can see pulling in cold air at the end of the that, looking at 12 degrees. to run the forecast through to friday, we've still got 11, the rain easing a little bit. the poor weather stretches from bucharest towards rome in the west. moving the forecast on through into the start of the weekend, we will start to see things begin to just ease a little bit, hopefully we'll see floodwaters decreasing. >> still to come on the program, we report from hong kong where officials are destroying ivory seized from smugglers. >> we report from thailand where the army chief hint at a possible intervention to end the political standoff. >> in sport, find out which teams have put their thoughts in the nba finals. all the action, coming up later.

>> the turkish president has been visiting the site where 282 meres loft their lives. he expressed his these, but many are angry about poor safety standards. >> the trial of the aljazeera journalists have been adjourned. thenerve imprisoned for 128 day.

>> 20 people have been killed in anti china protests across vietnam. fires have been set in industrial areas. people are angry for beijing putting an oil rig in disputed waters in the south china sea. >> hong kong has started to burn. thirty tons of confiscated ivory in an initiative that will take two years to complete. >> at this incinerator with ivory set to be destroyed, this city with stockpiles of ivory outside of africa having the same debate as elsewhere on how to dispose of it. those said the value could be sold in some parts of the world

and money to help conservation. others say by doing so, you legitimize the industry, which has been responsible for the wholesale destruction of the herds of elephants in africa. by their actions this afternoon, the hong kong authorities seem to be making a statement on which side of the argument they are taking. >> coupled with the seizure of ivory and prosecution of offenders, it send as powerful message that hong kong s.a.r. does not accept and will not tolerate this illegal trade. all the devastating impact it's having on the african elephants and on the livelihoods of rural communities. >> given the stockpile of ivory in hong kong up to 30 tons, it will take two years to destroy it all. authorities are sending out a strong message. the conservationist points to the polite of the african elephant with up to 100

approached daily. they say there has to be more action like this if there's going to be a real difference. >> we will talk more about this law with a criminal justice consultant on environmental crime from bangkok. thank you for talking to us here. help me out with this. i can remember so long ago, when these pyres of approached ivory went up in flames, but it hasn't worked. >> well, it's 25 years today this year since the international ban on ivory and yet we're still seeing more and more seizures every year, so the ivory burned today by hong kong has been seized by the authorities there, to their credit, over the last 13 years, the reason why we're not seeing a reduction in illegal ivory

trade is because there's still illegal ivory markets. honk canning, china and a number of our countries have the markets. the actions sends a message to traders. traders in honk con announced they are going to stop selling ivory. 61 organizations write to the ho kong government asking them to close down all trade in ivory. it's very easy for organized criminals to launder illicit ivory into the legal ivory market. >> what's the solution, then, for speeding up the drying up this trade, if you like, because is it the demand? because clearly the demand exists and we know that certain parts of africa, poaching is on the rise after subdued for many years. >> well, we need a holistic approach. we need to curb demand and this action helps to do that. we need to tackle poaching, but that's an extremely resource

intensive problem. the thing we're missing is the gap in the middle, the odors criminals controlling this trade. they're the ones who are organizedding the poaching, they're the ones who make sure the ivory reaches the market and we need a comprehensive set of investigative responses to tackle those much higher up organized criminals often referred to as kingpin, for example. the problem is that some of those organized criminals are very well protected. there's a huge degree of corruption involved in wildlife crime. law enforcement authorities around the world need a really good set of investigative tools and measures to combat the corruption involved in this. >> thank you very much. i think there's a bit of delay on the line, so apologies for that. really good to get your thoughts on the burning of the safery in hong kong today, thanks. >> now thailand, the military chief warned his troops could use force to end the escalating

political violence there. three were killed and 20 injured in an overnight attack on an anti-government protest camp in the capitol of bangkok. the july-volt may now have to be postponed. a group of protestors walked in unchallenged and forced the acting prime minister to flee from a meeting to otherwise elections that the government wants to resolve the political crisis. even more surprising perhaps, the protest leaders wanted on charges of murder and in is your rex. no one seemed to want to stop him. >> we have the determination to work, to see the country has reforms before an election. where is the government's determination? is there any way we can cooperate? >> he went on to hold a meeting with the election commission

himself. >> it's an invitation of how beamed the demonstrators have become after months of protest that disrupted parts of bangkok, security is tightened but the army and police are highly institutionalized institutions here and are staying on the sidelines for now. >> the anti-government protestors did come under gunfire and grenade attack early on thursday morning, armed men using military grade assault rifles and grenade launchers staged two simultaneous attacks on demonstrators who have taken over the-year near the prime minister's office. >> grenades were fired. there was the sound of the first explosion. i got hit by the second one. then i heard the sound of gunfire, bang, bang, bang. >> 25 people have been killed, almost 800 injured since demonstrations began six months ago. it's become almost inevitable

that there will be more sergeant's from thailand's political stalemate. aljazeera, bangkok. >> south korea has charged four crew members of a capsized ferry with manslaughter. the accident killed more than 300 people, most of whom were high school students. 11 other crew members have been charged with negligence. >> afghanistan's presidential election is heading to a runoff between the top two candidates. final results show no candidate meet the 50% needed for an outright majority. abdullah, abdoing la won 45% of the vote, his closest rival received 32%. we have more from kabul. >> the elections commission announcing pretty much what everyone had expected, that the april vote was inconclusive and that a runoff election will be held. the two leading candidates will

face each other in what's expected to be a fairly close vote. they will be able to begin campaigning in a few days time, and then after that, we will see this election. this election, which is scheduled for the 14th of june. the elections commission has said that logistically, there are 50 districts they are going to have to fly ballots into, but the real concern is one of security. the afghan taliban launching its spring objective this year, trying to derail the vote with attacks. a lot of concern there. this pros is going to be fairly lengthy. after the election on the 14t 14th of june, the voting will take at least two weeks time and we really won't know who

afghanistan's next president will be until sometime in july. >> two palestinians have been killed and at least 12 injured during clashes with israeli soldiers near the city of ramallah in the west bank. thousands rallied in several cities in the west bank and gaza to mark the 66th anniversary. around 700,000 palestinians fled and were forced to leave thor homes in 1948. let's go live now, because john kerry, the u.s. secretary of state has taken the podium. you can see a news conference going on. he's part of the friends of syria group who have been meeting in london today. earlier, we saw william hague, the british fortune secretary addressing this meeting. we're going to keep our eyes and

ears across this meeting and of course let you know of any significant developments. >> the war in syria itself has made life harder, not only for syrians themselves but also for the thousands of palestinians refugees who shelter in that country. many have had to flee to neighboring lebanon, but now lebanon is closing its borders to them leaving many palestinian families separated across two countries. >> this 12-year-old struggles to pass fee her 1-year-old sister. like thousands of palestinians refugees from syria, they fled the city and war to lebanon with his family more than a year ago. now not only does he to have cope with living in a tent and no job, he also has to take care of his children alone. his wife had to travel to syria and couldn't return when the lebanese government placed new measures restricting the entry

of palestinian lebanese into lebanon. >> it's difficult especially at night when the little one wakes up and starts calling for her mom. >> all over the camp, stories on how relatives, a sister, a father, a mother, a son stuck in syria, unable to get into lebanon. >> the interior minister said the borders are not closed from syria, the new measures are temporary and only there to better otherwise the influx of refugees. >> human rights watch said the new procedures mean a de facto closure of the borders. >> the practical solution is very clear. neighboring countries have an obligation to keep borders open. >> at the same time, the international community must you do more. they have not seen them do enough to share the burden financially. >> palestinians refugee camps in

syria have been greatly affected by the fighting there. lebanon was their only way out, but they have complaints about the high fees they to have pay to stay. $200 per person is a fortune for any of these families and now, even their permits to stay here will not be renewed. >> we didn't come for tourism. we had no choice but to flee. this 18-year-old has been studying hard, but she's going to lose her school year, because her family won't let her travel to syria to sit for her final exam, afraid she will get stuck there away from them. she is willing to take the risk like other students. >> i'm still furious, i ask myself what is the problem, is it a crime that i'm a palestinian an need to be punished? >> families are clinging to a

faint hope that the lebanese government will change its policy and allow palestinians refugees to enter lebanon again. >> protests are continuing in argentina, thousands of workers and unions are calling on the president to fix the economy and the high crime rate. we have more from the capitol buenos aires. >> this is a protest about many things but specifically about rising crime. ar jeannine headed of elections next year. the victims and victims and see families angry because they say the political system has let them down, the judiciary is overloaded, the police force are either corrupt or unable to deem with the situation, and there's

a politician ustion the issue as a political tool in that they are suffering the rising crime rates, those who oppose the government simply asking that the government, the police and judiciary do something, anything to solve this now major problem. >> coming up after the break, in sport, we find out why these football fans are consumed by a familiar feeling after the europa league final.

underground in an area that flooded during super storm sandy. >> would we ever have picked a basement that could be flooded? >> this man helped to clear the site of rubble and body parts. >> it's going to be a powerful museum. they don't need to put the human remains into the museum. >> director greenwald said housing the remains fulfills a promise to families in 2003. another concern is called the rice of al-qaeda. exhibits were found to be inspirational, but didn't care for the film. >> the muslim experience of 9/11

is well documented throughout the museum beyond the al-qaeda exhibits, says the director. >> we over and over and over again make it clear that this is not mainstream islam we are talking about, this is a radicalized people with a murderous agenda treated at criminals in this museum. >> $24 per ticket, six figure salaries for executives and trinkets on sale at inflated prices are all criticisms the museum's management faces. it's unlikely critics will be sigh lends soon, but for now at least, the u.s. has a new focus for mourning those lost on 9/11. aljazeera, new york. >> the international cricket council are investigating evidence of widespread match fixing in up to five countries. it is alleged that former new

alternative sports offered easily if a sport is totally dishonest. >> the report calls for government to say step in and take action. >> what they're saying is that there just needs to be more level of intervention from governments, more regulation with the way this has spread across the globe. what i want to be clear about is it's easy to think big matches targeted, like a champions league fund or world cup. it's not that. the criminals are targeting smaller matches that sometimes can be teleadvised, shown to an international audience and something can happen during the course that have game that can be unfluenced and manipulated. we do need to take some care. the i.c.s.s. used the worth astonishing for the level of corruption. they know it goes on, it's a huge problem, they know there needs to be more government
