documentary series fault lines the deported only on al jazeera america ♪ >> announcer: this is al jazeera. ♪ hello and welcome to the news hour, i'm steven in doha and coming up, in the next 60 minutes egypt votes a second day for a president and, abdel-fattah el-sissi may be the next leader. and this is about the resent coup. trying to ease political and economic tensions plus.

i'm reporting in the western philippines. we will tell you why these waters are now at the forefront of a tense territorial dispute. ♪ but first the syrian foreign ministry says six united nations inspectors and drivers have been kidnapped in syria. the kidnapping is said to have taken place in the hamma province and it advised the team not to enter a village close to the area but the team did so reco recordless. one confirmed the abduction and another denied it. of course we will bring you more information as soon as we talk to our correspondents in the region. but now let's go to egypt. it is the second day of the presidential election and it's

the 10th poll in four years and it's expected to endorse or even confirm abdel-fattah el-sissi as the new leader and the former army chief abdel-fattah el-sissi and challenger cast their ballots on monday. and we have the european lead election observer there speaking to us earlier from cairo and says political activists and journalists remains a concern. >> of course they are one of the main things of the democracy is freedom of speech, of course, we are extremely worried about the whole international community is worried about the effect of hundreds of the death sentences pronounced by a judge. but this is not exactly the scope of an election observation. but, of course, we are a member

of parliament so we have our own political judgment. and of course we regret and condemn the fact that some of your colleagues in particular case of al jazeera, some of your journalists colleagues are in jail this very moment. >> reporter: we have assist and professor of history from georgetown university and welcome to al jazeera. what is the value of this election? is it merely to serve as another poll confirming a new leader or is it to show that democracy is alive and well in egypt? >> i think there is an attempt to show there is a democratic process but certainly that is not at all the evidence we had over the last year and it has been one of increasing behavior on the regime and have abdel-fattah el-sissi as the new, uncontested rule of egypt and we see it based on the

campaign rhetoric and the use of violence used and the fear used on the egypt population and look at the result there is an attempt as much as possible to cement this as a ruler and someone u noom mouse -- unanimo unanimous. >> what is the size of abdel-fattah el-sissi's majority and let's cut to the chase and the size of the turn out. >> there is more discussion of the turn out than the results signals a couple of things and this is no longer seen as a legitimate contest. we know this is of course that the chips are completely stacked in faither of abdel-fattah el-sissi candidacy because it has support of the state behind it and because the turn out is low it is alarming because there are millions of egyptians refusing to take part in the process and they are not

accepting the legitimacy of the presidency or political apathy and we know it exists and people feel disenfranchised from the process and do not feel part of the transition. >> if it's a low turn out people who don't want to vote possibly for abdel-fattah el-sissi will not vote for the opposition, they will just stay away. >> right, there is no sense they have a possibility or opportunity to win the election. so i think what we have seen is a rejection of the increasing authoritarian part of the regime and the two things he hoped to return the campaign on, economic prosperity and bringing security to the country has not worked and this is not because of the morsi presidency because he had one year to prove himself and of course he failed to do so. >> earlier in the year 80% of the people voted for a new

constitution, will it be up to the new leader to write the constitution or will the priority be to rescue the decrepid economy? >> the constitution in place is being used to legitimize the presidency and the in coming president of abdel-fattah el-sissi and the biggest priorities are economic in nature and he relied so much on foreign aid there is little for economic plan for rescue and recovery beyond politics and policies that we see that are marked in the mubarak that works in the military and extended state. >> this is anything between the 7th and the 10th time that egyptians have been to the polls in resent years, re-egyptians firmly behind the process of a poll of an election do you think? do they still believe in it, the validity rather? >> i think the circumstances under which this particular election is happening is very different from the ones we saw

in 2011, 2012, those were part of a revolutionary are process and if it wasn't complete it ushered in the opportunity for people to express political preferences and we have not seen that possible. going back to the constitutional referendum that happened in january, anyone who voted against it was arrested or who protested against it was of course subject to arrest or harassment within egyptian society or by the regime and we do not see expressing yourself clearly in the climate and no one sees this as politics as usual election that was like the mubarak years going back decades. >> thanks for joining us. al jazeera continues to demand the release of its journalists being held in egypt, and they have now been held for 150 days. their trial is adjourned until

the first of june and accused of conspireing with the muslim brotherhood and al jazeera rejects charges against the staff. a fourth journalist has been held in a cairo prison without charge for more than nine months and his lawyer filed a third grievance to the attorney general demanding release and requesting a medical report to document his poor health. ukrainian soldiers have regained full control of done -- donsk and this airport which is ukraine's second largest airport is close to residential buildings and they were on television advising residents to stay home and there is a report from the capitol of kiev. >> reporter: they came from above and attempt to regain the airport. the ukrainian government launched what is called the

biggest operation yet against pro-russian fighters and began on the early hours of monday when separatists seized control of the building and the airport shut down and no flights in or out of a city of one million and they blocked the entrance and there was a deadline for separatists to lay down their arms and it came and went with no surrender and the crack down came quickly, smoke rose over the airport as jets and helicopters launched attacks to root out separatists but more arrived to join the fight. fighters belonging to a pro-russian malitia and this wasn't going to be an easy route for the government in kiev and the leader of the self proclaimed donsk people republican were defiant. >> translator: with the latest developments which are unfolding so fast and so aggressively we have to appeal to the president of the russian federation putin personally and the entire

russian people. >> reporter: one al jazeera crew got caught up in the cross fire. they were on the road leading to the airport when shooting broke out. the crew escaped unharmed. and they narrowly avoided explosion just as they were turning back. by tuesday morning the fighting had calmed down but unclear if the military had complete control of the airport. the mayor of donsk urged residents to stay indoors and home. the man expected to be the ukraine president poroshenko compares the fighters in the east to pirates and out laws and cannot be invited to the table and when there is victory in

sunday's vote he says he will make his first trip to the troubled eastern regions and talk with russia that many accuse of supporting fighters there in early june, nick spicer in kiev. >> reporter: the fighting came as the president elect poroshenko said he will not negotiate with armed separatists in the east but the billionaire said he was willing to hold talks with moscow to try and end the crisis. >> our biggest neighbor and because of the fact they are stopping the war and bringing the peace to the whole ukraine and bringing stability on the eastern part of ukraine, it would be impossible without participation of russian representative most probably the meeting with russian leadership will certainly take place in the first half of june. >> reporter: and we are live in donsk now and a confused picture

for a while but can you confirm who controls the airport? >> well, we just spoke to the spokesman of the airport and he said that the ukrainian processes were firmly in control of that airport. it's something that also the separatists have been saying in a sense they describe a battle where they were completely overwhelmed by the number of ukrainian forces that were on the ground of that airport and also by the air strikes that happened yesterday. now the spokesman on the airport says it will reopen at 8:00 tonight. but certainly this is an attack and this is a development that has created a wave of panic in the city and we are hearing report of people who are actually leaving the city, at least evacuating the families outside of the city. >> this is, what, the biggest airport, isn't it, in eastern ukraine, mr. poroshenko

president elect won't want to lose control of that. >> reporter: i'm sorry, could you repeat the question? >> this is donsk airport is the biggest airport in eastern ukraine. ukraine's president elect, mr. poroshenko, won't want to lose control of that. >> reporter: he won't want to lose control of that and he hasn't so far. and i think also he wants to show from his first day in power or not even yet in power that he will not be lenient, i mean he will be very firm with these pro-russian separatists. many people you speak to here will tell you that was a terrible tactic they have used to try to take over that airport because they disrupted civilian lives, they didn't have the man power to keep it and that's what happened. now, i have to explain to you the lead after that is you had the boldness of the pro-russian

armed men around the city on the day of elections and they were parading and shooting in the air, they were defiant and felt they were very strong because they had actually managed to disrupt, to a great extent these presidential elections here in the east. so they felt very strong of that and they went towards the airport and it's at that point that maybe one can also see limitations of despite they can take some building and controlling the whole east will be another matter. >> at donsk airport, thank you, hoda. e.u. head of state are meeting in brussels to talk about the results of european elections, a surge in support for the skeptic and far right and left parties. french president suffered major defeat in the vote and the other came out on top. e.u. is too remote and complex now. >> translator: i will reaffirm

at the european council the priority is growth and investment. europe is illegible and it's remote and incomprehensible even for the state. this cannot continue. europe has to be simple, clear, to be effective where it's needed and to withdraw from where it's not necessary. >> reporter: former education minister has been arrested after denouncing the military coup. and he was giving a talk at the foreign correspondence club when soldiers arrived, came in the club and arrested him. he has been on the run after refusing to turn himself in to the military and says the coup is not a solution and will only make things worse. he also spoke about whether the protests would continue or not. >> would there be under ground struggle. it depends on whether or not the coup makers allow people to

express their opinions, participate in the process of bringing back democracy. >> reporter: ten vietnamese fishermen are rescued after the boat was rammed by a chinese ship in the chinese sea and the media is saying the boat was harassing the chinese craft before colliding and cap sizing it and says relations could be damaged. >> translator: as for whether we are going to take any so called retaliating actions, i think the facts of this incident have already proved it would be futile for vietnam to unreasonably and illegally interfere and jeopardize the work of chinese fishing boats and eventually vietnam is damaging its own interests by doing this. >> more now from adrian brown

who is in beijing. >> reporter: this is a reminder tensions between vietnam and china are not going a way, in this latest incident there are different versions of what happened. china says a vietnamese fishing vessel bumped into one of itses are vessels and capsized and sink and they said they that attacked it and caused it to sink. this happened in a place where they are drilling for oil on lands that are claimed by china and vietnam and this began at the beginning of the month and they protect the drilling operation and vietnamese have been doing what they can to harass the operation and two weeks ago we had anti-chinese riots in vietnam and effecting the provinces and leading to arrest, detention of more than a

thousand protesters, 700 of those, says vietnam will be put on trial or fined, two have been already convicted and jail but the issue for china now is compensation because up to 16 chinese factories were set on fire and many others were damaged. >> reporter: disputes in the south china sea give seen anti-china sentiments rising among neighboring countries and we have more now from palawan in the western philippines. >> reporter: in a rare show of solidarity vietnam and philippines agreed to join the opposed, china's resent actions in a disputed air of the south china sea and describe china resent actions in the area a violation of international laws and here in the philippines, in the western province anti-chinese sentiments run high too. that's because two weeks ago police here seized the chinese fishing boat after they

discovered about 300 endangered turtles that had been killed for the chinese market and police found 200 live turtles and reportedly had been porched just off the coast. the chinese fishermen charged plead not guilty and face 20 years in prison. philippine prosecutors rejected the chinese government's demand that the men be freed and accuse the fishermen of poaching well within the country's territorial waters. >> in china, in vietnam, malaysia poaching or affecting of turtles are prohibited. and we try to take pay much attention in enforcing laws as well. we had history of poaching since 1996. >> reporter: chinese government says arrests were provocation and a violation of the sovereignty. china claims most of the south

china sea believes to be rich in natural resources. but the philippines, malaysia, vietnam and typay claims part of the sea. there are photos of chinese reclaiming land and suggests china may be building an air strip. two thirds of the poachers caught here are chinese nationals but they also point out that it's not easy to patrol a vast sea given their limited capabilities. china is committed to a peaceful solution but government authorities here remain cautious and they are concerned that the dispute in the south china sea is a major conflict, western

philippines. you are watching the news hour in doha and still to come. >> translator: there was a fighter, a tall one pointing out women and telling the others to rape them. >> a call for justice in south sudan by those forced out of their homes because of the fighting there. ambitious project which is meant to promote economic growth but it's threatening fishermen's income and the french open decides to change his name to stan and is knocked out in the first round. ♪ the leaders of india and pakistan have formal talks in new deli, the first time since 2002 and on monday sharif attended the inauguration, relations are strained and the two report several wars mostly

over disputed kashmir and we are in new deli and tell us more about these talks. >> reporter: yes, they were scheduled talks, not just for the pakistan prime minister but he wants to meet all of the regional leaders that attended the swearing in on monday. but i think all eyes were on the pakistan and india leaders and what they were to discuss and what is transpiring or coming out of that meeting which lasted 15 minutes and longer than the other regional leaders that spoken to the prime minister is that india had questioned pakistan and prime minister as to why the 2611 trials held in pakistan that occurred in mumbai and 166 people and why it's dragging on and why has pakistan not adhered to the extradition requests of india and believe some of the individuals who master minded the attacks in

mumbai in 2008 are sheltered by elements in pakistan and they want to see justice on that level. they also talked about kashmir elections and the on going filtration by armed fighters and want that stopped and also want to try and resume trade and i think trade they will be able to resume a much longer lasting peace accord that could help both countries. >> what is the explanation behind this reaching out by modi towards sharif and toward pakistan? >> reporter: well,s modi wants to be about to certainly see the possibility of economic land routes through pakistan over to china to afghanistan and to the central asian republicans, things that india would like to export are items such as

petroleum and sugar and commodities like that. they are in plentiful supply here in india and wants to look to the west of the borders to see whether it can try to expand that market but it needs a stable pakistan, it needs a friendly pakistan and a pakistan too that could also benefit from those aspirations but they need to try and solve the on going problems that they face politically and diplomatically over issues like kashmir. >> is it clear indians would prefer better relations with pakistan? >> reporter: it has to be said that during election campaign that across the political spectrum. >> well, we have lost figuratively that stopped in mid flow by the problems of

satellites but i think we had enough to know what modi is doing in reaching out to pakistan and his meeting with sharif. rescue teams are looking for three men missing in a mudslide in western colorado and the four mile long mudslide covered the national forest and the disaster area is two miles wide and some areas 76 meters deep. the three men had been investigating damage caused by an earlier rock slide when the larger slide then arrived and hit them. well, let's take a look at the weather now and look and see who is going to be there and take us away. >> thanks, steven, look at this, when you get mudslide it must be due to heavy rain. i've been looking at it and you see the cloud which has gone through colorado region. now we have had some significant

rainfall and probably double the monthly average across the grand junction and the nearest station but still not a great deal of rain so it may certainly have contributed, let's put it like that. if we look at the current situation there is rain in houston and significant rainfall over the last 24 hours and looks as though we will see further heavy rain effecting the southern states in the next day or two and dallas is looking wet in the coming day and that area of rain is going to migrate to the southeast and around the gulf states we would light to see fairly heavy rain and aparts of the mid-atlantic stretching to the eastern sea board and they could do with rain over in alaska, and the kanii peninsula is seeing a significant wildfire and you see the clouds spilling in and that is a good sign and i'll come back to that in a moment but the funny river which is not funny extends ayos some 642 square kilometers and only

30% contained. it would perhaps be somewhat surprising to think about wildfires occurring here without two things, first during a wildfire season they have 4,000 square kilometers of wildfires across the alaska region. but also we have had a very dry spring across the region and, in fact, drought has been a factor here as well and looking at states like texas where it's been going on for quite a long time and alaska and lack of rainfall has been an issue but there is likely to be changes coming in the next day or so certainly in the forecast and looking at fairly heavy rain beginning to move in across the region and the temperatures are up and fair banks is 19 and going to 20 degrees and really across the region there should be enough rain to dampen down the fire. >> reporter: thanks for that and coming up, on al jazeera people francis addresses what he calls an ugly crime and says the

church has zero tolerance for abuse. a woman sentenced to death for marrying a christian and given birth to a baby girl and we are alive in cartoon on the latest on her judicial appeal. the miami heat on the brink of another finals appearance. that is coming up. ♪

time to look at the headline making stories on al jazeera, egy

egypt voting for a new president a and, abdel-fattah el-sissi expected to win and opposed by the left politician and the former education minister arrested after denouncing the military coup and has been on the run after refusing to turn himself in. pakistan prime minister holding bilateral talks in new deli and the first such talks at that level between the two rivals since 2002. the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons says inspectors under attack in syria and happened in hama province and investigating alleged chlorine gas attacks in the area and the other syrian government said the team had been kidnapped. syrian activists say 50 people have been killed in aleppo since monday where they accused the

government of dropping barrel bombs on residential areas and full of nails and kill and cause disruption. conflict destroyed many of irreplaceable buildings and all six sites are on the endangered list and liz has more on the effort to try and safeguard them. >> reporter: this has been fought over by government and rebels alike for three years. some of syria's most valuable oil reserves lie beneath the ground here. and above ground too there are treasurers at risk, cultural ones like the al-mak-dasook and a focal point for commerce but bombs and bullets transformed it into an empty shell. >> translator: this is one of the most famous monuments and it was destroyed by the regime

forces in an indescribable, barbarack manner. >> reporter: this was before the civil war and for almost a thousand years it towered over the landscape here until last year when it was blown up. >> what happened there is catastrophic and never seen something like this. so it gives them certainly we need to do more. we need to put culture within the humanitarian effort and certainly give it a much higher role on the international agenda. >> reporter: the violence of the last three years has taken its toll on religious and cultural sites across syria as in deran last year when the mosque was destroyed. and it had been a sacred place

for more than an mellinium. and this was part of the color fate but now they say the war between fellow syrians threatens this and other cultural sites like never before. i'm with al jazeera. >> reporter: the new cabinet is sworn in a day after new prime minister won a vote of confidence on parliament on sunday and approved the government despite a boycott by non-muslim and the general says the forces are taking on some of the most powerful malitias because the government won't. back to one of our top stories on the news hour, the meeting between the prime ministers of india and pakistan raised hopes for improved political and economic relations.

pakistan's economic growth hasn't matched that of the eastern neighbor but this may change if those ties improve and we report. >> reporter: business isn't as good as it used to be at this tracker assembly plant. over the past few years sales dropped by nearly 30% and they say a power crisis, especially in rural areas is to blame and made routine maintenance and repairs almost impossible. and he runs the industries, one of pakistan's largest agricultural machinery suppliers and hopes the historic visit to india will allow his business to grow on the other side of the border. >> if it opens up, then our companies would have the ability to expand. >> reporter: sharif is the first pakistan leader to attend the swearing in of an indian prime minister. since election last year he

promised to improve ties with new deli but relations are tense between the two countries which fought three wars since gaining independence in 1947 mostly over the disputed kashmir region and sharif released 151 fishermen on the day of the swearing in and both countries have hundreds of each other's prisoners and most are fishermen who strayed in the territorial waters of the other nation and many remain in jail despite the completion of their sentences. >> i believe there are a lot of thinking and this is the first and final visit. >> they are focused on revising economies and opening up trade will no doubt yield significant benefits for india and pakistan but long-standing tensions over kashmir regions are not far. he has been prime minister twice before and the last time he was in power attempts were derailed

after the military attacked a territory in kashmir held by india, shortly afterwards he was ousted in a coup and wants to improve ties with new deli, he will have to do so carefully. i'm with al jazeera. the nigerian military ruled out the use of force to rescue more than 200 school girl whose were kidnapped six weeks ago and the army has found the girls but says launching offensive might be dangerous and the girls were taken by borno state by boko haram in april and they were this abuja and spoke to some families and sent an update. >> reporter: families of the more than 200 girls kidnapped started to respond by the statement of the chief of defense staff they know where the girls are but they are not going to use force to rescue them. the families we have been speaking to say they are waiting

and watching very cautiously regarding what the military intend to do. in the past they have conflicting and confusing information from the military about where the girls are and they are a little bit skeptical and distrustful of some information emerging from military authorities. on the border response to this development, many nigerians welcome the news and the military know where the girls are and if the military knows the location there must be a rescue attempt as soon as possible but four operational and security reasons the military authorities cannot give us any more information about what rescue attempt is underway and also important to state that various other arms of government, for example the presidency have not made any statement about this new development. however, it is hoped by many that the rescue attempted will be mounted soon and that the girl also be returned home.

>> reporter: a woman who is sentenced to death has given birth to a baby girl in a prison hospital. and she was convicted of abrandoning islam and marrying a christian and she will be executed when she is finished nursing her baby. lawyers launched an appeal against the verdict and mr. smith is in the capitol cartoon and tell us more about what her position is regarding the appeal. >> reporter: well, she gave birth last night to a baby girl. they called this girl mia but we have been told in the last hour or so that when maryam's husband is in cartoon and the lawyer tried to visit maryam in the prison clinic they were denied permission to go and see her. they were told the director of prisons refused anybody

permission to go and see her and the lawyer says they are very concerned for her welfare. in the meanwhile there is an appeal launched with in the sudan court but there is a problem with progressing in the system and could take a month or so and she has to remain in prison because she has been sentenced to death and there is no option for people who face the death penalty to be given bail and the lawyer says they are launching oopt appeal with african commission on human rights based in the gambia and hoping they will also make a ruling because they try to increase the pressure on the sudan authorities to try and drop this case against maryam and at least release her while it goes through the appeals process but sadly today the husband not allowed to enjoy at least the birth of his daughter with his wife in the prison in cartoon. >> in cartoon, thanks bernard. u.n. secretary general says an

international tribunal may be the way to prosecute for the mass killings and thousands have been targeted in the months of fighting and u.n. says it could amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity and this is one of the worst massacres since the beginning of conflict. >> reporter: they have to live in this flooded, muddy camp for displaced people and say they are safer here than the nearby hometown in south sudan. in february sheltering the town's hospital when rebel fighters attacked. >> translator: there was a fighter, a tall one pointing out women and telling the others to rape them, afterwards they would kill them, they killed many. >> reporter: the town has changed hands six times since the fighting starting in december. residents say government troops and opposition forces killed people in their homes and often

targeting them for authoritity and people run to bases and hundreds of people were sheltered in the hospital and thought they would be safe and not targeted but u.n. investigators say they attacked on several occasions and looted everything of value and almost everything here is destroyed. survivors say many people were bet en, many people killed, some patients that are bedridden were shot dead. it's one of many instances where they were targeted across the country and both sides may be responsible for this. moon says there needs to be justice and the u.s. called for justice too and a key political and financial supporter of south sudan. nobody faced justice for conflicts here going back for decades. >> one of the reasons possibly there have been so many crimes committed is because no one is held accountable and i think for

going forward in south sudan as you said with the level of at t -- atrocities committed now we must prevail. >> reporter: people who fled the violence are stuck in the camps and are not adequate for crimes of this scale and the international tribunal will depend on the will of the security council and she thinks it would be difficult to ever find the men she saw killing and raping. but she hopes something can stop the violence so they can be safe to go home and i'm in south sudan. >> reporter: leader of the roman catholic church pope francis says he will meet a group of sex abuse victims at the vatican next month and has 0 tolerance for people abusing children and it's an ugly crime and saying it an satanic message three bishop being investigated

and he concluded going to jordan, west bank and israel and spoke to reporters on the way back to rome. >> translator: it's a horrible crime. we know it's a terrible crime under any circumstances. i'm interested in the church because a priest who took this betrayed the body of the lord and needs to lead children to sansity and instead he abuses him and it's like an satanic man. data used to determine the path of the missing malaysia airlines flight mh 370 has just been released. relatives of passenger have been calling for the information to be public and log includes 45 pages of data that was sent in the hours after the plane disappeared. the information helped narrow the search of the aircraft to the indian ocean and malaysia plane disappeared in march with

port. people in the village have not been told yet they have to move but houses lie within the special economic zone and fear it's only a matter of time before they are forced to relocate. already others in neighboring village's had to leave their homes and a few are holding out unhappy with the compensation plan which they say does not include land to farm on. >> translator: the government sees us as squatters. we have no where to go, no way to survive and that is why we are resisting. >> reporter: and he is not sure if he will resist, if or when the order comes for him to move out. >> translator: the good news is that we have the chance of getting jobs in the factories. but we also have to face the possibility of being homeless. >> reporter: he says he doesn't want to stand in the way of development. he is just not sure if he will be a part of it or be left behind because of it.

florence with al jazeera. every year thousands of ethiopian migrants reach yemen by boat hoping to go to a better life in saudi arabia but as we report many are tortured and enslaved by traffickers. >> reporter: this is a detention center run by human traffickers moments after he was raided by the police in harab city near yemen's border with saudi arabia. by the time they arrived, this man was already dead. he was tortured and starved for weeks. the migrants mostly from ethiopia are treated like slaves. their legs are shackled and their bodies show signs of torture. they landed on the shores of yemen after a dangerous journey from the horn of africa hoping

turn a blind eye and continue to function as traffickers. >> reporter: this is a detention center run by yeme intersection capitol and it can occur date 200 migrates. today there are about 700. during these times when the seas are calm that number climbs to almost 2000 migrants. >> translator: do you see any signs of miss treatment here? we are doing our best. we consider them guests. i'm not saying there are no cases of abuse in the coastal areas. trafficics use money to bribe traffickers and happened every where in the world. >> reporter: they say they were beaten and money taken away by bandits and for now they say they will stay here, some get refugees and others have to wait for ngo to pay for tickets back home. ill treatment and huge risks that migrants face in yemen,
