9:02 am
happened as a surprise. 3:00 a.m. local time is when this was enacted, if you will, the military issued written statements to media and going through and then the army chief came on and gave an address at 6:30 a.m. and going to sleep on monday evening and thinking that the political crisis is continuing and wake up and the nation is under a martial law and they are upset and confused about that. we visited one of the ten television stations, satellite and cable television stations that have shutdown because of this and they are upset too because they are off the air. it is interesting to see how things unfold. there is a meeting with the acting prime minister and the military chief about discussing how things will move forward. right now, when looking at thailand, the military is in control of the national security here and they have the legal right to do things if in the
9:03 am
national security interest. now that leaves a lot to be interpreted into that. right now, they are controlling the media and taking some of the channels off the air and like saying that in a newspaper or social media, if you post anything that could insight violence, that goes against the martial law. we'll see how this is going to work through. a lot of confusion and a big surprise this tuesday morning. >> they justified this action because of the insecurity of the last six months or so, and is it likely to lead a more stable thailand? >> well, it seems to be right now, i guess, yes, both protest camps, yellow shirts that are antigovernment and the pro government supporters, the red shirts, just outside of town,
9:04 am
they are staying within the confines of the camps. the main friction points that everyone is concerned about for the past six months the two clashing and coming into contact with each other, if you will, and that is the main concern. is it making it more peaceful because of the martial law, yes, they have been instructed and ordered not to march and not to move. if they try to do that, the military has the legal right to act upon that. the concern is at what cost is that peace coming? that is what we are going to see in the coming days. the military and the government is talking. what is the government able to do to make the progress and correcting the political crisis and that is the ultimate end game and right now they are struggling to get anything done in government. >> o the caretaker prime minister is saying that the elections won't help, will that
9:05 am
help? >> it could help, but the election commission has said that is not going to happen any time soon. the original plan was having them on july 20th, that was before the martial law imposed. the prime minister wants them on august 3rd. they can't hold the elections throughout the martial law, because they are keeping it in place as long as it takes. so a lot of question marks to book out a schedule. there is so much urn certainty right now. >> thank you, scott. >> china summoned the u.s. ambassador over a the charges laid against five chinese military officers accused of hacking into american companies to steal trade secrets. china is denying the charges and saying they are made up.
9:06 am
>> five chinese army officers on the fbi wanted list are unlikely to be handed over by their government. >> the united states made up the facts and using the excuse of stealing the secrets to indict the mill their officials and violated the baseing principles of international relations and damaged the chinese united states cooperation and trust. >> beijing accused washington of the double standards and saying that the united states is guilty of what they are charged china of. in a building, a united states security company is satisfied it is the source of many of the cyber attacks. the u.s. is saying that the the targets are businesses in the steel industry, untrue says china. the latest indictments are coming at a time of growing friction wen the united states

9:10 am
days of fights and left hundreds killed and including the leader, who was executed. the mosque here was torn down. it was not just the mosque, the properties belonging to the boko haram members and their relatives were seized by the authorities and handed to other people and the idea is if you wipe out the physical presence they'll be forgotten. instead the group returned for the vengeance and a movement of brutality and the attacks are not sparing muslims or christians young or old. he's said to have been an intelligent student. this man was a classmate and neighbor asked to conceal the identity. >> he would take a lead, but generally introverted.
9:11 am
>> one state official said they tried to reach out to the group in 2011 and the forum is saying a negotiated settlement would have been possible at that time. they wanted the arrest and prosecution of their leaders and the compensation to the fighters and rebuilding the schools and mosque, and the federal government didn't take the talks seriously. today civilian fighters say that the group is well armed. the use of suicide bombers suggest tactical help from the groups. >> we are using ak-47, using aircraft. >> boko haram is made up of a number of cells and the government's best bet of fighting back is strong

9:14 am
killed in the attack. there were attempts to broker a deal and putting an end to the fighting. government sources say that the fighters are trying to control and paving the way to further move towards the capital and consolidate their military presence. the most important military fractions and many people are skeptical about the military activities. >> remind us what they stand for. >> they are from the same sect from islam and over the last few years they have sort of put themselves on the map as the most active shiites. they have been discriminated against for years and want more
9:15 am
religious and political rights. they said they want to have a bigger say in the northern part of the country, you are talking about a lot of the northern parts of the country. you have people in the government saying that they are not only after the north, they would like to have complete control over yemen. the government accused them of being very cad ral and one of the biggest threats to stability in the country and the president said that iran by shipping the weapons and providing military assistance to the north of the country. it is a very delicate situation in the north of the country. >> thank you. >> international donors pledged more than $600 million of aid to help a million people forced from the homes by violence and
9:16 am
many more are facing famine. we have in south sudan and joining us live, and i am sure it is good news that the money is headed in that direction and what is it they need there? >> well, people are being in camps since middle of december, that is when the conflicts started. it started with a political dispute between the president and the former vice president. many people fled. the camp here behind me. they thought they would be safe inside of the u.n. camps. there are armored vehicles and soldiers and conditions are not good. you can see it is very crowded and the shelters with squashed together. but the people are feeling safer. there are other camps not in the u.n. bases and harder to get the
9:17 am
resources to them. and in some of those places they are suffering from the shortage of food. yesterday we went to a place close to here and spoke to mothers who brought in their babies that are suffering from mal nutrition. >> at this time of the year the people in the south sudan are normally planting the crops but the mothers are coming to get life saving treatment for their under nourished babies. a million living in camps for five months and many are short of food. she was worried her son would die and now he's improving but had to trade some of the clothes for food. >> in my town, people have started eat wild plants because of the shortage of food. many people are sick. people are dying. we are hoping that the fighting stops so we can go home. >> the medics are saying many more malnourished people in the
9:18 am
areas. >> we have quite some deaths of malnourished here. their resistence is low. >> the clinics here are in the u.n. camps. there is heavy fighting between the rebels and the military forces. the shelters are barely enough to keep the rains out. this boy here says he sleeps inside with the two brothers. not enough space to stay with the parents. the count goes on and on no. way that the people can grow crops here. everyone wants to go home and grow their own home but not prepared to do that until the leaders are serious about stopping the fighting. since the people can't plant, no
9:19 am
harvest in september and the food aid is crucial. is a risk of famine in the coming months. some people will die and the more that the hue han -- humanitarian players bring good. >> they need a half billion dollars to feed the people or malnutrition quickly gets worse. thousands were killed in the violence and hunger could kill many more. >> there is an outbreak within the people and what are the chances it is going to spread quickly? >> the u.n. camps are not
9:20 am
designed to handle this number of people. the people are crammed in. the first couple of months it was dry. about this time the rains are starting and starting in the south and east and working up and that means little bits of ground is turning into mud and then can conditions are not good. color rhea is not a good thing. there are camps around the capital, and if it spreads there, that could be a disaster and going to other parts of the country it could claim a large number of lives. the u.n. and the agencies are preparing for this. they have isolation units red ready to deal with this.
9:21 am
and they are hoping to build better camps and that takes time, and so we are hoping they can get that finished before the outbreak reaches sites like this one. >> there is a large manhunt for one responsible for the ferry that sunk in south korea. they are not sure if he's inside of a compound belonging to a religious organization. >> this is where the next chapter of the ferry disaster could be playing out. south of seol. members of two related organizations, the salvation sect and the baptist church are manning the gates and he may be hiding behind them.
9:22 am
he's refused to appear for questioning. >> this land belongs to ta church. >> are you letting the prosecutors inside? >> no. this is my property. my house. >> this is how they like to be seen, hardly at all. reclusive photographer, exhibited to a claim in combrurp, but head of the family behind the marine, owner and operator. our attempts to contact the family and company were unsuccessful and a spokesman said he had no role in the management. >> he assigns people to the businesses himself. everything is under his control. >> prosecutors belief that the ship sank because it was over loaded and made a sharp turn. seeking to prove that he was
9:23 am
responsible for such lax in the management. the company has a lax structure. the sister ship was inspected recently and found to have a number of safety breaches. we returned at night to speak a former worker. he did say there were links between the church and the running of the marine. and crew members were hired without experience or training because of the links to the church. he spent four years in prison in the mid 90s. after being acquitted the involvement in mass suicide by members of another religious group. none of that stopped the family of the business empire stretching from hotels in the u.s. and salt production in south korea.
9:24 am
they are promising to go after the company's wealth for the victims. there will be a fight just to get through these gates. >> time to check on the weather. we have scenes from wyoming. >> yes, these pictures are from wyoming. they are a storm developing, it is a super cell storm and a time lapse. it is sped up, it is a little jumpy, but the picture is looking unreal. it is fantastic. on the bottom, there is grayness and that is the hail forming. if you want to see hail, the place you need to go the south america, because this is where we are seeing these types of images. this is looking like snow. it is a tropical place. we are not used to seeing the
9:25 am
snow or the ice. no snowplows in the city and they are using the bulldozers and giet quite a sight. eventually all that started to melt. we then have plenty of sunshine for the rest of yesterday and for today as well. so it should be fine and dry. elsewhere, we are seeing more in the way of clouds and that cloud is giving showers. the showers are stretching down to paraguay and argentina and on wednesday going to see the storm clouds beginning to develop. this is what we are expecting for wednesday, the dark blues are showing heavy downpours from the northern parts of argentina and into the southern parts of brazil as well. there is a lot of rain from this and flooding as well and you will notice the temperatures are dropping down as well. so 27 degrees.
9:26 am
but 16 further to the south. and even across the other side of the andes up to 13 degrees. the temperatures are dropping away as well. >> thanks. >> it is hard to believe that the high profile film festival but not the domestic diverse, even the head of the cannes film festival said that the industry is sexist and needs shaking up. we have a report. >> female directors may dominate the movies. not in this one, the men have taken the big prize of the cannes film festival every year since beginning 67 years ago, with one exception, and this jury has a renowned director has a public point to make. >> o time and time again we don't get your share of representation. excuse me, gentlemen, the guys
9:27 am
eat all of the cake. >> these are the talking points, and the critics are saying this reflects what is happening in the industry in general. take for example the academy awards 86 years the oscars are going and only once a woman named best director, in 2009. similarly, 71 years of golden globes and just one female director. the lack of the women competing for the top prize here is a bone of con tengsz year after year and now as the jury looks at the 2014 options outs of 18 films, two come with a feel credit. movies, two more than 2012, no women in competition. only one featured last year. richards has lots of awards but a change is in order. >> you wants of different
9:28 am
viewpoints and takes on the world in cinema. and that's what a woman can bring you, it is a shame that there are not more out there. >> it is a documentary and aappreciating the feminine touch. >> where i come from there is a strong female voice and maybe sometimes that will spill over in the fiction, i can see that in denmark with strong female directors. >> each night the cannes red carpet comes alive with flashes and all eyes are on the women here, behind the lens the eyes are looking elsewhere. the question is, how long will it take for that to change? al jazeera at the cannes film festival. >> much more still to come on the news hour, we are looking at the presidential race in egypt, just two candidates. also ahead, why a fungus is
9:29 am
devastating the coffee crops and leaving a bitter taste to the drinkers in the u.s. the performance review. that corporate trial by fire when every slacker gets his due. and yet, there's someone around the office who hasn't had a performance review in a while. someone whose poor performance is slowing down the entire organization. i'm looking at you phone company dsl. check your speed. see how fast your internet can be. switch now and add voice and tv for $34.90. comcast business built for business.

9:32 am
and the issue of clean water. you have heard there is a disease outbreak and that could be spreading. we need to ensure that the people have access to clean water and used for things like where the internally displaced people are staying on protection of civilian sites and they are overcrowded and needed for the construction of la treens and needed for hygiene awareness training. healthcare is an absolute need. then of course, shelter, we are in the rainy season and people need dry and clean places to be. >> you are speaking about the people in the camp and getting the aid to them, what about the people that are not able to make it to a formal camp. and what are securities there?
9:33 am
>> one of the challenges we have spent the last two days talking about the government of south sudan is promising to allow access into the more difficult sites and we have been, one of the things that you have noted is that the fund will help with the air access and air lift capacity, which unables us to get to the more difficult sites. now that we are into the rainy season, the roads are impassable or becoming impassable and the helicopters will be a definite need and this aid helps us access those difficult sites. the u.n. agencies as well as the ngo's are gearing up rapid response mechanisms to allow us to access the more difficult sites off the camps. >> both the government and rebels are at this meeting,
9:34 am
are you getting a sense of understanding, some sort of desire to end the fighting and they are going to work together to make that happen? >> that was a repeated them. the underlining -- as the ngo community we are looking at saving lives and underlining that, the thing that we need the peace. and that message was reiterated time and again by the donor community, by the ngo and humanitarian community and acknowledging that indeed by the south sudanese. >> thank you for talking with us. >> thank you. >> voting is under way in the general elections. there are frustrations over the shortage in the ink and the ballots.
9:35 am
>> they have apologized to the voters for the delays and there are problems and basically and only f 7 out of 386 police stations had opened. the usual problems lack of ink, no ballots, some other materials had not arrived. at this polling station, we actually saw a little bit of restlessness and frustrations and we are told there are reports that the military is being sent there and rocks are thrown and tires are being burned on the roads and police are trying to detain the situations. this is not far from this particular polling station. the polling stations have not yet opened in a number of the places. so a lot of concerns from people here that things are taking too long and will
9:36 am
everyone in line get a chance to vote. >> al jazeera is demanding the immediate release of the journalists held in egypt. they are falsely accused of conspiring with the brotherhood. al jazeera rejects the charges against them. >> one of the journalists is refusing food and he would without a trial since last august n. a recent letter he's confirmed he's in solitary confinement. >> voters in egypt are headed to the polls next week and two candidates in the running and saying it is just a formality. >> the clear favorite to win the egypt election is saying that the campaign is
9:37 am
unconventional. he says he's relying on the campaign driven by the people. and there seems to be no shortage of the volunteers signing up to promote the feed marshall. >> in the sense that the central campaigns are not sending support, no posters or anything, the support is coming from the people. the people are the ones that act. elections this time are popular elections. >> with the victory in the election seemingly all but guaranteed the election campaign is less charged. so far, cc's limited himself to the tv interviews. but there is some competition. there is just one other candidate, from the left of the egyptian politics he's got
9:38 am
supporters. he came third in the 2012 election. >> the war against the poverty is the holy war and the battle is becoming victory outstanding and winning the elections. the hardest battle is beating poverty. >> the critics of the military coo fear that the participation is giving a legitimatecy. in what campaigning there is, the candidates are focussed on the economy, understandable as the previous presidents link to down falls to the failure to fix the poverty and the joblessness. >> india is read you to
