o much for talking to al jazeera. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. [music] >> hello, and welcome to the news hour. we're in doha with the top stories on al jazeera. vanuatu's president appeals to the world for help. >> you can only image of being in this house as the cyclone struck. >> it's a thumbs up from john kerry after nuclear talks in iran and switzerland. >> two french police officers stand trial over the deaths of

two teenagers that sparked riots across paris. >> and in sport france's highest paid footballer apologizes for what some critics say its time for him to leave the country. >> vanuatu's president said that 90% of the buildings in the island nation have been destroyed. baldwin lonsdale is calling on the world to help his people. they have confirmed their worst fears of widespread destruction. >> this was a very destructive cyclone over vanuatu. it is a monday monster.

and again this is a set back for the government, and for the people of vanuatu. after all that has taken place it means that we'll have to start new again. >> we've managed to reach the south pacific islands. >> from the air you get glimpses of the destruction. but it's up close that you can see the full impact that the cyclone has. aid agencies say 90% of the buildings in vanuatu's capitol has been of damaged, many beyond repair. thankfully few people died, and injuries were light. at the hospital was colin lynch

who hurt his foot. he showed us how he tried to save his garage and car. it was futile. >> lynch's partner had pleaded with him not to go out in the storm. >> i was crying. i thought i was going to lose him. >> launch is a builder. there will be plenty of work coming his way within meters of his house is destruction. houses are crushed by trees boats thrown from the normally idyllic lagoon. you can only imagine the horror of being in this house when the sigh cyclone struck. when it did, the people ran and it's a good thing. the house was destroyed.

the house had been in the family for generations. >> we just couldn't do anything. >> similar stories are everywhere. help is arriveing into port villa, but a lot of help will be needed here, and many of the outlying islands have not been heard from since the storm. >> so after several hours of talks in switzerland with the u.s. secretary of state they will continue talks on iran's nuclear program. earlier a senior member of saudi arabia's royal family warn against a deal with iran saying that it risks nuclear proliferation. james bays joins us live from

lausanne to show us how close or far apart the talks were in lausanne james? >> well, certainly some very intense diplomacy is reaching a very racial station with the deadline for a primary work deal coming up at the end of the month, and a final deadline, and most people think it won't get extended this time if there are problems of june, the end of union. so we've got a lot of diplomacy going on here in lausanne. also in brussels. intense negotiations with two u.s. cabinet secretaries here and the iranian foreign minister. the meeting between secretary kerry and foreign minister lasted almost five hours. afterwards mr. zarif, it sounded like he said finally we're getting somewhere or words to that effect, so reasonbly optimistic words coming from him. he then flew off to brussels while the u.s. secretary of

state flew by here on the lakeside in lausanne. watch this. >> yes james, we can see secretary kerry giving you the thumbs up as he goes by on his bicycle. certainly that optimistic feeling, perhaps not felt by other people like the saudis, for example, where the saudi prince has come out and made comments about iran, warning that an agreement would risk nuclear proliferation. what do we make of that? >> i think this is exactly why there is this real urgency at this stage why nobody thinks they can keep extending these talks forever and why these deadlines will matter. saudi arabia concern about iran near it with nuclear power. iran said it's not aiming to get a nuclear weapon, and saudis

themselves saying maybe we need nuclear technology, we did a deal in the last week if with south korea for nuclear cooperation. so the idea that in this region, and there is nuclear power but a nuclear weapon. they won't admit it, but everyone knows they have with, israel has nuclear power and a nuclear weapon. >> iraq says military operations to help capture the isil-held city of tikrit. the iraqi army has been trying to push isil out of the city for two weeks but the armed work still controls pockets of the city center. they took tikrit in june of last year. and turkey has criticized

john kerry's suggestions that in order to end the war in syria negotiations with negotiation will have to take place. they made these comments while attending an economic summit in egypt on sunday. they told state media that syria syria's current problems had been caused by the assad regime. >> in yemen houthi rebels have released the prime minister and several cabinet members from house arrest. prime minister who had been held for two months says he was released as a gentlementure of good will. two police officers have gone on trial in france over the deaths of two two teenagers a decade ago. the incident triggered weeks of rioting in the suburbs of paris. we'll speak with jacky rowland who was outside of the court. but first this is her report. >> 15 kilometers outside of paris, is a world apart.

to many in france the suburb is synonymous with poorhousing and unemployment. night after night protesters set fire to cars and public buildings. the riots spread to other suburbs, and the government declared a state of emergency. the riots were triggered by the death of these two boys, they had been playing football with friends when the police pulled up. the two boys ran into a substation to hide where they died from electrocution. the cousin of one of the victims. >> the experience led her to become a community leader, and today she's deputy mayor.

>> today, because you're afraid of the police, that should not be happening in the 21st century. the police are supposed to be guardians of the peace. they're here to protect people, not to make them afraid. >> the government has started addressing the roots of some of the social problems. these blighted tower blocks have been condemned. their windows bricked up, waiting for demolition. buildings on the more human scale have replaced them. people here often feel uneasy when they see a film crew because in their experience the mainstream media has tended to misrepresent them and their neighborhood, so the sight of the camera is often greeted with suspicion and hostileity. another sign, a new school building will provide badly

needed places for young children starting their education. so they have taken a steps for a new generation. the children of the suburbs remains uncertain. >> the russian president vladimir putin has been seen in public for the first time in ten days. putin met kurdistan's president at the palace outside of st. petersburg. commenting on the rumors about his health, putin said life would be boring without gossip. we're crossing back to jacky rowland, who is joining us from rennes. we were telling you about the trial taking place there on the police officers. tell us what we expect to see jacky, during the course of the trial. >> well, the trial will last five days, and i was in the

courtroom just a moment ago before coming down to talk to you. at that stage they were listening to a very important witness, a third young man who was also with the two boys who were killed on the day when they were involved in this chase with the police. he spoke about how he survived but he was badly burned in the electricity substation. he was talking about how the trauma he suffered over the years, and ten years later there is a sense of irrational guilt that he survived and his two friends died. the purpose of the trial is to establish whether or not, in fact the police could have done anything to intervene and save those two boys when it was seen that they had run climbed over the fence and run into the substation. the police and their lawyers are saying there was not any negligence on their part, but the families will be looking for answer to their questions.

and until they have answers about what happened on that afternoon, it was difficult for them to really have closure. >> how is the community feeling about this trial now that it's taking place a decade later? >> well, french justice has moved closely on this one. there was a first trial where they successfully argued there was not a case to answer at all. however, that was overthrown on appeal, which is why we're now seeing this trial open in rennes on monday. as for the community themselves, the big question that you heard in the report of mine a moment ago is really the relationship between police and people in those neighborhoods. is this an aggressive suspicious kind of policing, or is this a policing of the community for the community and from the

community. we've seen contemporaries of the boys talking outside of the trial, and there was they were holding signs clearly showing that there are people in those suburbs who leave what happened to these two boys could happen to anybody else. >> much more to come on the al jazeera news hour. tons of food will be delivered to south sudan before the rainy season. and could it be bye bye bb? and in sport cricketers returning as heroes despite their early exit. >> aid agencies agencies in south sudan are racing to get

tens of thousands of food supply to people in desperate need before the rainy season begins next month. bad roads and volatile situations make it a difficult task. >> reporter: a rush to beat south sudan's rainy season. it starts in april. most of the supplies must be delivered to warehouses and areas that are hard to reach because of bad roads and poor security. rebels and militia, who have allied themselves to both sides in the civil war that started a little over a year ago still control large areas. these food rations are repackaged for air drops in place that cannot be accessed by roads and mainly controlled by rebels. >> 2.5 million are facing acute hunger. with no peace deal, the rainy season coming, we can only see

that number growing. >> reporter: many of the oil-rich area food is delivered by boats using the river nile. it's faster and less dangerous. now they're heading to a center of 7,000 displaced people. it's difficult to reach by road, but the needs there are many. this food was supposed to be in kodok by february. but because of problems and government bureaucracy it is just delivered now. >> when the crisis happened we could not harvest. the displaced people who came were more than us, so we had to feed them. >> this woman with her grandchildren walked to kodok. >> sometimes we get food. but we have to wait because we don't work.

>> donor countries have donated millions of dollars. but the money to move the aid where it is supposed to be is needed now. al jazeera kodok, south sudan. >> the investigation into human rights abuses shows systemic abuse. it shows the absence of the rule of law. torture was widespread. tens of thousands leave the country every year. syria is the only country that sends more of its people on the dangerous trip across the mediterranean hoping to reach europe. bringing in rachel nickel on it a researcher with amnesty international. she joins us villa skype. these findings must really

concern you? >> yes they do. they do confirm what we've been finding, and we're extremely concerns about the human rights situation. we've seen the interim reports that were issued today and they do indeed, echo concerns that we have. >> the ambassador to the united nations, rachel, has come out to say that the u.n.--he's told the council that the report was based on unreliable, unproven, and sensational information. how difficult is it to work in eretrea. to conduct research when it's such a secretive state? >> exactly. it'stive to carry out research in eritrea.

we are obliged use information accessed outside of the country because access within the country is very difficult. >> you're using follow-up measures after the final report is released in june. how likely is that, and what sort of follow up measures are you talking about here? >> yes, we do hope that the interest is an inquiry. that has an opportunity to produce a record of the human rights violations carried out in the country. we would like to see continued documentation of the human rights violations by stepping up by setting up a field office that would collect information about human rights violations.

but also we hope that the commission will make recommendations that look to future justice and reparation reparation. >> rachel nicholson, thank you very much for join joining us. >> thank you. >> hundreds of thousands of protesters have march in brazil, and they're calling for the impeachment of the president. dilma roussef has. >> a sea of people sao paolo's main avenue that lies at the heart of the football sector. one of the demands the impeachment of democratically elected dilma roussef in her second term.

protesters are worried about an economy that seems weeker every every--weaker every day. >> they are taking our money. we pay taxes and taxes and we don't have anything back. >> we want equal rights for everyone. >> tens of millions marched across this massive country and their calls were the same. they want the president out. >> hundreds of thousands of people have come out to march on sunday and ironically the 30th anniversary of democracy in brazil. there were finally free

elections. there are those who believe this is an attack on that very democracy. >> there were conservative strains available. while the protests carried on, roussef's justice minister announced that the president is listening to their demands and will act on them. it is a response by a president for whom it seems many no longer want to hear. adam raney al jazeera, sao paulo. >> well, dates have been set for long-awaited elections in haiti. the president has been ruling by decree elections have been delayed for three years partly because of the dispute over

opponents and elections lost. in venezuela president maduro will be allowed to rule by decree. virginia lopez reports. >> they have given president maduro sweeping powers. the fist pump in the air and the cry of yankee go home, the president spoke to the crowds in caracas. the national sentiment was clear. what was missing was a clear idea of what his new powers meant. >> the american government has committed the most repugnant act in our 2-year history. since venezuela was called venezuela, that is why i went to the national assembly.

>> the move comes days after the u.s. sanctioned seven government officials as head of the country's parliament, hand delivered the enabling law thousands outside of the presidential palace gave support of what they say will allow president maduro to protect the oil-rich nation from the u.s. invasion. the mood was festive. hardly the sign of a country under seen. >> we need to unite under this threat. what obama said is no small matter. we need to support president maduro wholeheartedly. >> there were military maneuvers rehearsed. >> in these streets people are more worried about the country's soaring crime rates. >> our domestic problems are

real. i've been a victim of violent crime three times. we need to concentrate on that we're being robbed and killed everywhere. >> president nicolás maduro has turned the issue of sanctions into a matter of national sovereignty. it has brought international support. but whether that support extends to his own backyard will only be known in the upcoming polls. >> still ahead on the al jazeera news hour. [ sirens ] >> a military drill in south korea in preparation for a possible future attack from the north. the world's largest arms importer when millions of its people live in poverty. in sport rafael nadal in

cyclone pam and is calling for international help to help thousands of islanders who are homeless. >> after several hours of talks in spitzer land, iran's foreign minister has now flown to brussels. due toe meet his european current parts for more negotiations on iran's nuclear program. two french police officers have gone on trial over the death of two teenagers ten years ago. they were elect throw electrocute hiding in a substation. facebook has created guidelines to help people understand what content is allowed and what may be reported and removed about it

won't allow groups engaged in what it calls terrorist activity or organized crime. any content praising support for banned leaders is prohibited. facebook is stopping content that appears to purposely targeting private individuals with the intention of degrading or shaming them. and this includes photos and videos and a sharing of personal information to blackmail or harass hat people. on the issue of nudity with exceptions of artwork but not digitally created content unless it is posted for educational humorous or satyrical purposes.

>> what do you make of these new rules and regulations. >> as far as we know there are no new rules. this is just the clarification of existing rules. what interests me more is the question should facebook--is facebook the right organization to be making these sorts of decisions on what we can say and what we can't say on what is deemed art and what is not. we're seeing this a lot because google recently stated they want to rank search results as true they are. i'm not comfortable with this, and we have to ask ourselves if you're comfortable with facebook making these decisions.

>> this is not really new. they're just clarifying some of the details and they've received a lot of complaints about unclear policies. so this is them clarifying them of.. >> that's great for facebook users that's great. but it does not clarify its relationship with its users. that's something that people miss. facebook users sell to its customers. so it's trying to keep its products happy so it can sell them to their customers. that's the core of this business, and this is not what it clarifies and probably should should. >> what are the i am implications of facebook and what people are allowed to say

on facebook. >> censorship is not great. we think that facebook is a public sphere, and so we have these expectations that we should have free speech on facebook. facebook is private poverty. it's not like a park. it's more like a shopping mall. they have ever right to restrict what people say inside of their private property. so i think again the real question is should we trust our digital public sphere in a corporation like facebook, or do we need other places where we can express ourselves freely. >> all right. thank you very much for joining us. left. >> benjamin netanyahu has said that there will be no palestinian state so long as he remains israel's leader. it's the last full day of campaigning in the country's election. with less than 24 hours to go before the polls open, the outlook is too close to call,

crossing over to west jerusalem and bringing in. benjamin netanyahu seed to come pulling out all the stops saying he will rebuild in israel-occupied jerusalem if reelected. >> he's pandering to his far-right constituents who helped him to forge a government in the last election. he certainly wants their support when the dust settles in this election. as you rightly pointed out many candidates are making their final appeals as they look towards the vote which will be held in less than 24 hours time. you have the opposition leader, isaac herzog, who has also been campaigning. you also have politician who is belong to the joint list.

a grouping of political party who in the first time in israel work together to run in an collection, and they're likely to make history in this vote. we met with some of their candidates. here's what they told us. >> the message in this political parties. it's the first time that parties divided along islam. mist socialist and nationalistic lines join together. and will take 13 or more seats in the 130 seat parliament making history becoming the third largest faction after the march 17th vote. one of the joint lists best known politicians.

she's also the most hated. an outspoken critic of the government. >> this unity for the citizens is an indication of power and is political attempt to empower ourselves facing policies. >> palestinians make up 20% of israel's population of 8 million, and many believe that the success in the poll will be the first step towards greater equality. the joint list has a potential to change israel's political map and improve the lives of israeli palestinians. but the parties have little in

come common, and those divisions are tarting to show. but when lieberman the right wing foreign minister helped pass the governor ability law which sets the threshold vote in parliament, it was seen to disenfranchise the parties. since then his rhetoric has become more heated, asking for the beheading of those quote who are not loyal to israel. >> we should thank lieberman whose racist views made this happen. we have reached unity a dream that people have been waiting for for a long time. we hope that this unity continues. >> a hope shared by voters as

they prepare to make history at the polls. >> so it looks like they may be making history in this election. one thing that their leaders have told us, whatever happens in this election they will not join any government to form a coalition. however, we're hearing that if the far right is able to secure in this votes they'll be able to change that position. >> quite an unpredictable race. give us an idea of what they will look like in terms of what will happen when the polls open? >> that's right. a very unpredictable race. some are describing this as one of the hardest elections in recent memory here in israel to call. now voters rather polling station also open around

5:00 gmt 7:00 7:00 a.m. local time and they will close roughly at 8:00 p.m. local time. that's rather 8:00 p.m. gmt around 10:00 local time. that's when we'll start to see some of the first results coming in, and we'll start getting an indication of how will or how poorly some of these political parties are doing. but all eyes will be on israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. many people view this election really as a referendum on him. when 24 election was called it looked all by certain to secure a fourth term but it's looking far less likely at this stage. >> we'll talk to you later thank you. fighters in syria have forced many palestinian refugees into

exile again. we have reports on the tight restrictions they're under. >> this woman is too old to care for her disabled and mentally challenged daughters, but she has no other voice. there are palestinian refugee who is came to lebanon when their neighborhood in damascus became a battleground two years ago. >> they say they're barely coping with the little help they get, but they were alone when the eldest daughter died from lung infection. >> no one was next to me to help her. she died in my arms. no one came in time with a doctor. >> they live in the largest palestinian refugee camp in lebanon overcrowded and people are poor. now they're sharing the space with refugees from syria.

>> they're our brothers, but we're already finding it hard to survive. >> there is competition for jobs as aid provided by the united nations. this has caused tensions. >> syria's palestinians enjoyed the same rights and benefits of syrian nationals. they have access to schools universities healthcare. this is not the case here. according to the united nations relief and work agency 75% of the 45,000 palestinian refugees cannot survive out handout. >> for many this camp is a prison. the lebanese government which has had a conflict has imposed tight restrictions. >> one of the biggest problems that they have is the fact that their visas have expired. and that put them--that makes them much more vulnerable about restrictions of movement. they can come in and out of the camps as often as they want.

they can be stopped, and their documents can be confiscated. they can be detained. >> this is just one of the reasons why many of them try to find a way out and at times it has cost them their lives. this palestinian family was hosting their relatives from syria before they were lured by smugglers to take a boat to reach europe. >> my cousins and friends were on the boat when it sank. one is missing. they were highly educated but they have no future here. there was no other way but to go on the journey of death. >> it has been a difficult journey for palestinian refugees. it has ended for this woman's daughter, for those left behind it is a daily struggle just to survive. al jazeera, southern lebanon. >> india is now the world's number one arms importer. over past decade it has been steadily replacing it's antiquated stock pile of russian

weapons. >> india's military is on a shopping spree. the past decade has seen the country rise to become the number one arms importer. since indians india relied heavily on the soviet union and later russia for most of its armament. >> there is no policy to go east west or any such thing. it's what we need. >> on analysts say that india imports arms because it has no choice. >> because we do not have a very robust distribution defense industry in the country. that's the reason why we're number one imports. >> india's arm imports have risen steadily over the past ten years. some defense analysts believe that it's india's military

responsibility to buy more weapons. >> it is not enough. the threats and challenges are growing by the day. we have unresolveed boundary disputes, and in my view, we're not spending enough on defense to be able to cope with the growing threats and challenges. >> india has recently become closer to the u.s. and may soon be able to brodeur american arms that have long been embargoed. at the same time under prime minister narendra modi the country's intention may well will to become arms manufacturers and buyersal. >> india plans to spend $120 billion over the next five years to upgrade obsolete military equipment. the long-term plan is to produce most of its military hardware. but since that could take years india in the short term will remain one of the biggest arms

importers in the world. >> a rainstorm hit northern parts of india on sunday. well there has been flooding in the u.s. as well, rising waters in" and kentucky have blocked roads and homes are submerged. the ohio river has reached it's highest level in 20 years. they warn that the flooding will persist through the week. here's what is coming up on the news hour. soccer makes it's latest pitch to gain a hold inside yankee stadium.

>> south koreans are taking part in a nationwide civil defense drill that coincides with military exercises. as ron mcbride reports not many people are showing interests. [ sirens ] when the sirens player everyone knows the drill. that seems to be the problem. they know it so well that relatively few people respond. at city hall civil defense teams go through their responses. turning the subway into a shelter. in the nearby district people start to listen to the civil defense marshalls then lead the shelter for the shops. >> they're not stopping. they keep coming. >> two years ago when north-south tensions had reached

near fever pitch the atmosphere was different. even some south koreans who live with the ongoing threat of war seemed concerned. today it seemed apathetic. on the border between north and south korea all has been quiet ahead of today's drill. this tourism village a few kilometers away is well within north korea's artillery range. but people had to be reminded that a drill was taking place. >> when they hear it, do people think there must an drill? i never give much thought to it. >> it doesn't matter if the siren is going. there are still many tourists. it is not an issue for us. >> back in seoul this drill finished with many not knowing there had been one at all. >> generally they know what to do. they're supposed to have that kind of education from the but knowing what to do, and doing

that is a two different things. >> and everyone here is hoping hoping that it is never put to the test. rob mcbride seoul. >> buyers from china account for nearly a quarter of global sales in art and antiquityies. galleries are eagle for showcase their pieces. in recent years local artists have been overshadowed by big international names. reports on a new art fair that is trying to change that. >> for a couple of million dollars, this bronze pumpkin is yours. all art from golden bridge to iconic pieces like this one from andy warhol. more than $3 billion is expected to change hands as this year's art fair. it has put hong kong on the art circuit. >> hong kong people are just not

so outgoing, and they don't really love to go to events or meet new clients or meet people. they're a bit shy. for us, a lot of these artists we approached them. >> that's what hong kong's newest art fair set out to do. 20% of the artists are local. you don't need a pile of money to buy a piece of art here. it's about billed as the affordable edgy art fair featuring lesser-known talent. like vivian. >> i have mixed feelings. i talked to my friends and say do you think my work is good enough? or am i embarrassing myself? >> thereher art sits next to

more flam flamboyant art. it proved to be popular. >> i saw simplistic but to the point message. bull at technology and busyness i'm drawn to minimalist colorful work. >> by the last day of the art fair almost all of vivian's pieces have sold showing that there is room for local artists and there is demand for it. >> andy is here with an update with all the sports news. >> thank you so much. france's highest paid footballer has apologized for the expletive expletive-laden comments he made about his adopted country. unable to control his frustration, the swede confronts officials here in the tunnel after the game suggesting that they wake up. the 33-year-old also reminding them that this was not an

new york cosmos playing here. more than 40,000 fans saw barcelona striker helping the home team to a 2-0 win over the new england revolution. >> my experience is not limited to the last season. soccer is the same regardless of the country you're playing in. >> with the group stages over, despite their cricketing pedigree the country has never won a knockout game at any world cup. wednesday sees the team taking on sri lanka in the first quarterfinal since their debut in 1992. south africa has lost all five of the knockout games they've taken part in.

>> we faced up front that we've let opportunities slip by us, and hopefully we'll have learned from the lessons from vents like this. >> the afghanistan team arrived in kabul after their first-ever appearance in a 50-over world cup. while the country did not reach their last state they did reach a victory over scotland in the group phase. jennifer glasse saw the team returning home. [music] >> it is a homecoming for afghanistan's cricket team here in kabul as they return from their very first world cup in australia and new zealand. even though the team won one of six matches, you can see they're being hailed as heroes here. this team has come a very long way in a very short period of time. cricket is a relatively new sport here, and a bright spot in a country with so many challenges.

they'll have an opportunity to against their counterpart. >> the cal tournament is one of the biggest events outside of the grand slam, the four-time championship beating diego schwartz ofman of argentina. rafael nadal also threw. last year he lost his opening match at indian wells. last year's am champion wawrinka
