only on al jazeera america this is al jazeera. hello you're wafing the al jazeera newshour -- watching the al jazeera newshour live from london. coming up, explosions over sanaa, as fears grow for the victims of the war in yemen happy to be alive. a survivor that spent two days hiding from an attacker at a kenyan university violence this australia as anti-islam protesters clash with

demonstrators. >> in this video we see the future windows. 40 years op the birthday microsoft celebrated against a different online landscape. >> i'll have all your sport, including arsenal blow away liverpool, going second in the english premier league. and the rest of the action across europe coming up appeals are growing for humanitarian aid and evacueeses in yemen. saudi carried out air strikes on houthi members. 1200 have been injured. and more than 90 killed in the city of aden according to health workers. houthis are said to be under siege in the center of the city.

the united nations security council has been meeting to discuss a russian proposal for a pause in the campaign to allow aid in and the evacuation of foreigners. yemen's for instance accused moscow of using planes to supply houthi rebels in the capital with equipment needed to repair weapons. a spokesperson for the saudi-led coalition says they are doing what they can to support the anti-houthi forces in aden. >> translation: we continued to give logistical assistance in aden and other armed forces loyal to the authority. the situation is relatively calm. we are aware of the locations of some houthi militias and brigades to forces loyal to ali abdullah saleh. the air strikes attacked the pockets in aden. the occupations are limited. we are in close contact with the resistance on the ground and over the coming days they'll be

fruitful. >> jordan's ambassador to the u.n. says they want to find a lasting political solution to the crisis. >> as you know the g.c.c. has been engaged on a draft resolution dealing with the political situation in yemen. we'll continue our efforts to reach a consensus on that. we should not forget the root causes and conditions that led to the counter situation -- current situation, and humanitarian situation in yemen is due to the failure of the implementation of resolution 2201 by the houthis. >> a yemeni youth activist and cofounder of the center right party joins us on the line. could you start by giving us a sense of what is happening around you, what you are seeing and hearing at the moment? >> hi tonight we witnessed the

worse than heavy bombardment since the air strikes commenced 10 days ago. to make the matters worse, the targets are not the military basis, they are houthis around the city which are in certain areas. it's been going on for the past 7 hours, and has been calm for 20 minutes. we expect it to reveal in the coming hours, in the morning. >> it's been heavy bombardment. you say it's calmed down and you are at the door of a bunker that you have at home to take some sort of shelter cover from the air strikes. what is it like during the day there? >> well during the first week of bombardment, there was no air strikes.

over the past 56 hours, there is a way, we can't go outside for one. we use the basement as ad hoc shelters and bunkers. right now i am pretty close to my basement at home. >> there's reports of homes destroyed. civilian casualties. hospitals under pressure aid struggling to reach those, what do you see about the toll the air strikes are taking on civilians caught up in the fighting now? >> the situation is dire. there are long lines of people killed for fuel. a lot of people left the city. people in the city are keeping animals in their home. casualties - numbers are not

concrete. it's been 500 and 1200. these are coming from the houthis, they are not credible. they don't be verified. it's causing military bases in populated areas. we feel that the casualties are quite high. . >> thank you for painting a picture of life at the moment in yemen. joining us from sanaa - take care. thank you very much for taking the time to chat to us. >> i'm joined live from new york. we are getting a sense in yemen, saying that it's difficult to verify how effective the air strikes are in terms of targetting the houthis. because they have dispersed rather than concentrated in an

area. with discussions at the u.n. concentrated on managing the crisis on getting aid to those in need do you sense there's a tacit acceptance on the part of the international community, that this could be a lengthy war. >> this is a problem. there is no will on the part of international community to act. you know they are more than happy to act on the nuclear question as they go on for months to negotiate an agreement, an outline. here we have a number of countries basically in civil war. violence is spiralling out of control. it's a libya, syria and yemen, and there's no real action. there are united nation security resolution, but there's no action on the part of international community to act. the saudis are acting houthis are acting but everyone nose

the houthis will not be able to govern yemen, just as everyone knows the saudis will not be able to control the houthis, or take control of the country simply by aerial bombardment. something has to give. it has to be a political initiative. we are not seeing that coming from the united nations security council in new york. so what then has to happen because clearly none of the multiple groups in yemen right now want to stop fighting. can the political process be salvaged in any way? is there a mechanism for bringing military action to an end, but allowing everyone to save face? >> i think now both parties are realising that they are simply going to end up killing one another and destroying the country. no one party will be able to govern alone. guess what? the same thing in syria and libya. no one party will be able to

take full control and govern peacefully for not peacefully. it's impossible. we have known that we looked at it. they've looked at it. for some reason they are going down the drain together. there needs to be a role for a third party, it could be their supporters in the region. it could be saudi arabia and iran it could be turkey and pakistan it could be russia and the united states the european union, the people that voted for the resolution at the security council have a responsibility for peace and security in the world, and for implementing the resolutions that they pass. hence one thing is for the yemenis to fight it out. they will and destroy the country in the process. it's another thing for the international community not to act. if there's a will on the part of the russians and the americans, or for that part their local

allies saudi arabia iran. i think they will succeed, and people will go back to the negotiations saying there was a table that everyone convened and left to war. i think it is possible to reverse that if there is a will. >> thank you very much still to come for you on the al jazeera newshour we'll tell you about the 400 fishermen treated as slave labour us in indonesia. a ta thai-owned company is prosecuted. and the latest from miami as serena williams looks to add to her title collection. kenya's president announced three days of mourning at the

attack at a college in which 150 died. it comes as al-shabab prepares to launch more operations in kenya. one student managed to escape the university attack. and katherine sawyer went to hear her story of survival. >> an unbelievable moment. a survivor has been rescued. many are describing this as a miracle. she's taken to hospital. two days ago, she hit in a wardrobe and covered herself with anything she could find. she heard the gunmen shouting taunting the victims. at one point they went into her hostel and took two friends. she's happy to be alive. >> translation: they were shooting everywhere. i continued to hide. if i got hungry i'd eat body lotion. >> forensic investigators had been at the university. those inside talk of a violent and bloody end to those who

died. the government was keen to shoot down a list and others that turned up at the mortuary, the charred remains, pictures too gruesome for us to show. the government displayed the bodies to prove that the gunmen were killed and to build public confidence in the security forces. >> the president has addressed the nation for a second time since the attack happened and declared three days of mourning. he said that al-shabab's finders and organizers are mostly kenyans. the government was pursuing them. he called for minister and religious dominance. >> i call for every hurch to speak up for university and ensure that our justified anger does not spillover and lead to the victimisation of anyone.

that would play into the hands of the terrorists. let us remain in unity as we safeguard our peace and stability. >> there's frustration in garissa which was attacked before. there was intelligence reports about an imminent attack on a university in the country. >> all this weapons that they are using came from where. these people must have passed several barriers that are controlled by the police. . >> al-shabab fighters issued a statement warning of more attacks in kenya. people say they are afraid and don't trust government assurances to keep them safe. >> at least seven have been killed and many injured in a gun attack in the river state. armed gunmen went on a shooting spree, and in the neighbouring village. during the attack on friday

night, the home of the acp parliamentary candidate was set alight. the leader beat goodluck jonathan in elections, and the attack occurred in goodluck jonathan's home region. >> shi'a groups have been blamed for looting and arson, seeing hundreds of buildings targetted. the iraqi government claimed victory after a month-long battle for the state much. >> the u.s. and its allies carried out 16 strikes against i.s.i.l. and iraq in syria. the u.s. military says i.s.i.l. targets various cities including mosul and baiji, hit in nine attacks. five were carried out near the northern border town of kobani as well as the town of haskah.

fighters from islamic state of iraq and levant have taken over more of the yarmouk refugee camp. the camp is home to many refugees who have been there since 1957. i.s.i.l. controls most of the area and are supported from rival armed group al nusra front. stefanie dekker has more. >> reporter: it's a fight they are losing. the palestinian group has been fighting i.s.i.l. over the past few days in the yarmouk camp. i.s.i.l. controls most of it. in a twist, there's reports that i.s.i.l. fighters are supported by the al qaeda-affiliated al nusra front. they do not like each other. but it appears they are working toots to try to take control in yarmouk. . >> translation: it was an agreement under the table between al nusra front and i.s.i.l. many were shocked. al nusra front released a statement claiming they were neutral. in reality it is not true.

they have several check points. i.s.i.l. came through it with no difficulties and this is the most important region i.s.i.l. was able to raid yarmouk and control it. everyone is confused how the deal happened. >> yarmouk has been besieged by government forces for more than two years. various groups are based here. 18,000 remain out of 160,000, most are fully dependent on aid. conditions are difficult. >> we have always said that yarmouk is a place with very very little hope. it's a place of abject desperation, a place where humanity is struggling to survive. the now lethal military mix that we see in the camp is creating a greater vacuum where there's so little hope and dignity.

>> many tell you that yarmouk is one of the worst places to be in the war. that was before i.s.i.l. entered the camp. it's a worrying development for the government and people in damascus with i.s.i.l. less than 10km away. well i.s.i.l. and the affiliated al nusra front have been bitter rivals. they share a similar ideology and differ on how it should be carried out. in 2013 al-nusra rejected an attempt to merm the groups. a power struggle sees violent clashes. 3,000 fighters were killed in early 2014. i.s.i.l. has accused nusra of betrayal and treason, and waging a military campaign against the group. our guest has written

extensively about the situation in syria, and joins us now. thank you for being with us. the islamic state, and rival al nusra front appear to be cooperating, would you describe it as a broader strategic alliance, or is it a short-term tactical one? >> it's definitely a hort-term tack -- short-term tactical one. within yarmouk, you cannot have people fighting in the trenches. they are surrounded by syrian forces and i believe there are limited numbers. the attack comes from the south. >> principally, the fighting was between i.s.i.s. and palestinian forces rather than the nusra. palestinian supporters defend the champ. there are differences between them at the moment. there was an idea they were

fighting the palestinians nusra sided with i.s.i.s. for the time being. how long they stay toot. what is the end result is a different matter. >> how significant is i.s.i.l.'s presence in the camp. they appear to be in control of yarmouk in terms of their presence in the capital, damascus, which is president bashar al-assad's seat of power. >> this is the objective. ya mook is not strategically by itself. when you haveies there they are in damascus. it's only 1.5km in area. it has 15-16,000 civilians. the attack which the government tries to do it's very high.

>> the expectation is that the syrian government will respond to this because of the proximity to damascus and from president bashar al-assad's own palace in the capital city. they are bound to conduct air strikes to flush out the fighters. >> i don't think they would. i'm not military but i don't think they'll be able to use the same force as on other cities. the camp is congested. densely populated. a shot there will gill a number of people. they'll keep them getting food and supplies. the siege on the camp... >> what does it mean for the refugees? >> this is a human disaster. for the last two years they suffered dying of hunger and now they'll suffer more there's no water, electricity, supplies

medicine. the hospital doctors left the camp, it's no longer safe. it's misery there. >> thank you for painting a picture of what it's like there. thank you very much. good to get your thought. >> now, the indonesian government is to prosecute a thai-owned fishing company for using slave labour. nearly 300 from myanmar were sold to work in indonesia. the men say they suffered abuse, were tailored and kept in a cage. we go to the island of tual where the men have been tape. -- taken. >> a rescue operation, a convoy of vessels brought 315 fisherman brought to safety by the indonesian navy.

men smuggled from myanmar, and forced to work. they were given thai names and documents. indonesian officials are registering under their real names and checking their health before handing them over to the authorities. the government in thailand denied the allegations. indonesia says it will present all the evidence soon. all the evidence will be studied by the judicial team. the ministers put a special team on the case dealing with the facts. this will tell us the criminal acts that have been committed. >> they are only a small part of the thousands of fishermen stuck in indonesia. >> finally they are free after a long time they wanted to go home they are now safe. they are only a few of others still out there and nobody knows

where they are. many are working on the boats. others escaped. they survived with the help of communities in the remote parts of the country. some for a long time. like this man, brought to indonesia 15 years ago 17 years after enduring hardship and abuse at sea he escaped. he and his friends are working as illegal loggers in the forest. >> i don't know if my mother and father are still alive. all of us want to go home. every day i think about how i can get home. if it was possible to walk from indonesia to myanmar. if there were mountains, we would have done that. even if it would have taken us months. >> that man and his friends are not part of the rescue operation. they hope by giving their names,

that they can leave soon and can celebrate a return home like these rescued men myanmar's opposition leader aung san suy kyi is considering boycotting this year's general election. the country spent decades under military rule and the nobel laureate accused the president of not being sincere about reform. >> the playing field is not level, and the administration is engaging in act which are discriminatory against the nld. we can't say that it's fair. so far we can't guarantee fair elections. >> a man in the u.s. state of alabama has been freed after spending 30 years on death row. anthony ray hinton was convicted of the 1985 slayings of fast

food managers. new tests couldn't match the bullets to anthony ray hinton's gun. his conviction was overturned last year. >> they had every intention of executing me for something i never did. for those that believe in justice, this is the case to show. i shouldn't have sit on death row for 30 years. all they had to do was test the gun. >> tempers flared in australia as anti-islam protests continued around the country. max domi reports. -- andrew thomas reports. >> reporter: they promised peaceful demonstrations when confronted by people calling them racist violence broke out. police men, women and horses

separated those battling against islam, and those calling them racial bigots. >> they have an issue with the people. they don't understand them. >> just over three months ago mattin place was filled with flowers, in sydney in memory of those that died in a cafe siege. saturday this that same square chosen for the anti-islam process. >> for muslims around the world planning attacks. like what happened in martin place, saying no to islam, and, you know no to extremists here. >> 300 million extremists muslims dedicated to the takeover and downfall of western civilisation. >> reporter: sydney's protest expected to be the biggest. rain kept the process down.

>> there are a few hundred people here. that came here in the rain. in brisbane more flags, and more rhetoric. >> they wish to destroy all that is australian and our freedom. in each city where there was a protest. counter demonstrations were as large. australia is not having a crisis but the protests are a sign of fear and growing discontent still to come for you on the al jazeera newshour. i'm bill gates, chairman of microsoft. >> microsoft at 40. what is the future for one of the original tech giants. plus... >> i'm erica woods in south africa. coming up i tell you how women are protecting rhinos in the

greater kruger national park. >> in sport. is messi match-fit. the latest on barcelona's bid for title success.

seekers has been set on fire in an arson attack. two people living there escaped unharmed. the roof was almost destroyed. it happened in the town south of leipzig. >> reporter: this building should have housed asylum seekers. instead, on saturday the emergency services came. the damaged roof shows the intensity of the game. state officials believes it was started deliberately. >> it was particularly deliberate. it was a threat to the community, this was a home. >> reporter: the plan to house asylum seekers here was proposed by the mayor. however, marcus quit last month when supporters of the far rite staged a protest against plans outside the house. on saturday. he spoke of his shock over the

fire. >> translation: we are here for a difficult, horrible and sad reason that brought many back into the spotlight. i'm speechless. i tried to give an explanation to the press. i don't have words for it. >> reporter: eastern germany witnessed weekly demonstrations by a group in recent months, and they have warned of the growing islamification of western europe. in january 25,000 marched in dresden, in support of their message. there were large counter demonstrations. news of the fire on saturday prompted some opponents of the far rite to take to the streets. the -- far right to take to the streets. the premier emphasised plans to house asylum seekers would go ahead. >> translation: it's not just a question of fighting crime, but

democracy, democratic order. principles laid out that we will denned. -- defend. i assure you we will not back down in the last year germany has seen a large rise in asylum seekers that it houses. they say the fire will not deter them. former egyptian president hosni mubarak and his two sons have been in court for their retrial on corruption charges much they are accused of embezzling 18 million. his sons face a separate trial for alleged stock market manipulation. hosni mubarak was acquitted of causing the death of 800 protesters and the uprising forced him from power. in egypt two bombs exploded in the city of giza the explosions went off in front of a school near a police station.

bomb experts cordoned off an area and searched for other areas nearby. no casualties have been reported. >> three ukranian soldiers died in a mining explosion. the incident happened in a village a few kilometres outside donetsk. while the ceasefire is holding, violent skirmishes conditioned around donetsk and mariupol. >> 40 years ago two childhood friends started a small company they named microsoft. bill gates, one of the founders is one of the world's richest men. it's been a bumpy road for the software giant, which led the tech resolution of the '90s some to see profits plummet. >> what is technology? what can it do? >> the simple answer is that we just don't know. because the boundaries seem

limitless. few could predict the connectivity and productivity we enjoy today, thanks to computers. microsoft's cofounder roble had a vision. >> i'm bill gates, chairman of microsoft. in this video you'll see the future - windows. window will be the cornerstone of the microsoft empire. released in 1985, it was an operating system with a user friendly interface, then came microsoft office a package including programs for every day use, word processor, spreadsheets and email among others. >> the day it's estimated microsoft products run on 90% of all computers. >> when microsoft was founded on april 4th, it consisted of two men, bill gates. later it moved to washington.

they had 28 employees, and sales of 2 million. in 2014, microsoft pulled in 86 billion in revenue, and employed 123,000 people with a market value of 410 billion. it's now the world's second-most valuable company behind apple. >> but it has not been an easy ride. microsoft has been the target of numerous lawsuits. at home in the united states it was accused of becoming a monopoly. the e.u. fined the company for anti-competitive packages. >> we'd be the most respected software company. >> there has been a reversal of the tactics, and in the face of competition microsoft adopted products allowing them to run and using devices with competing systems. with a host of other profitable

products including surface, the xbox and skype, microsoft is ever determined to remain relevant and show that life really begins at 40. kate is a technology writer and journalist joining me in the studio. good to see you, kate. we were talking about the huge changes in the way we use technology. we take it for granted. it's everywhere. we have it at home at work. >> we wear it. >> we wear it. what role did microsoft play in creating the market for new technologies in computers that we take for grand today? >> it made it you bike wit house. it helped to set the standard. back in the day there was different technologies not just slotting bits together like lego. no one now what would win out. which systems would work out, how it would be.

microsoft took a standard and made it ubiquitous. bill gate said in an alert to employees that computers will eobviously faster than what it did before. competitors struggled to keep up. what did they need to do to make sure they stayed competitive and survive for another 40 years. >> they weren't trying to keep up with apple. they make money in hardware it's not software. >> everyone wants the apps. >> apple doesn't make them. microsoft has been a country charging hundreds per seat. that business model has gone. what it has been doing is reinventing itself to be a software and services company.

where it makes money is enterprising services. it's the back end of a lot of businesses and it is embedded there. >> does that mean if their products fail to take off. you say it's mainly - it's mainly software. when it comes to smartphones and tablets, we know who the big names are, and who is popular with the consumer. >> if you go back to the desktop. who dominates that? it's microsoft. the total numbers of users on mack systems doesn't add up to the numbers on windows 8. when you put it in that context, apple makes loads of money because it sells expensive hardware. they are different models. they'll continue to co-exist. microsoft will dominate the area. apple will continue to dominate. microsoft came through the

crisis. apple is going into it. because it's working out what this is. google has it to come. bill gates - he's been speaking about making advances and artificial intelligence he sees that as the future. tell us about the artificial intelligence. >> it's here. if you have an iphone, you are probably sufg siri. -- using sir. >> you may have google. i have cort ark na. it learns about us. it's machine learning rather than artificial intelligence. machine learning is powerful and makes things personal. you'll be going through the email and say you are booked to do a shift of al jazeera, you need to leave home now, you'll fly off to france next weekend - it learns about you.

making it good and interesting. >> good not a chance to forget your shift at al jazeera. right now the battle to save the rhino from poachers has been long and difficult. in south africa last year three animals were killed every day. the crimes driven by big money on the black market for the horns. in a park. it has fallenen thanks to rangers. erica wood went to the kruger national park to meet them. >> reporter: they are called the black ma'am bas, and the women are striking fear into the heart of one of the world's most dangerous mammals. >> there won't be no rhinos any more. so we want to see the rhinos. >> the role is to sweep for traps and snares and patrol the

border fences. so the game park's first sign of detection and defense. >> this is what the black mambas are trying to protect. there are around 20,000 of these white rhinos in existence. most of the population is here in south africa. >> the game park is privately owned and lies on the western edge of the national park. between 2012 and 2013 it lost 12 ripos. much of the -- rhinos much of the posting has been done by foreigners. the park's wardens decided part of the solution had to come within the community. some places deems things as heroes. they bring money into the local communities, and a social uplift. programme hopefully will change it around. >> so far, so good in the two years since the black mambas

started patrol poaching has been cut by 75%. >> they know this is dangerous, black mum bass. they serve as environmental ambassadors, spreading the anti-poaching messages. >> they are trying to change the attitude of local communities, that poaching is a bad thing. we don't want it happening here. i think it is working. >> before becoming black mamba, these women were employed. >> they push us. we are not afraid of them. if they want to visit us we are here for that. >> there are plans to recruit an extra 12 women, soon there'll be more to fear and hopefully in time more ryanos roaming the park. >> be careful. still to come for you this hour - how the u.s. city of los angeles is finding new ways to

help people off the streets. after more than 1,000 years, could the wild lynx be back for good in britain's forest. coming up in sport - it was invent by the english, perfected by the germans - details in a moment.

them a place to live under one roof. >> for food and other things. >> reporter: it's not a mansion, but it's home. >> the bathroom is the biggest thing you miss when you are homeless. >> reporter: tj who asked we not use his last name was one of tens of thousands in los angeles that life on the streets or in homeless shelters. >> i try to live day by day. i couldn't think of a plan to get better. i was too busy trying to get sleep, and clone up and get food. >> reporter: tj has a future and a new life in an apartment building for formerly homeless people in downtown l.a. it's a new approach to an old problem. residents not only get a space to call their own, there's an on-site clinic for medical problems, exercise class, art, education. it's permanent supportive

housing. >> people who live here are tenants. they pay represent. they have a key to the apartment. there's no time limit on how long they stay here. that's up to them. we have built in to the structure, onside service, where they get medical attention, mental health case management - whatever they need. >> reporter: it's not cheap. the architect designed building is $40 million funded by state, local and private sector. supportive housing has been shown to reduce costs to taxpayers in the end. los angeles county estimates each chronically homeless person uses $75-$100,000 in hospital emergency room stays and other public services. when people move into permanent housing, their hospitalisation, and emergency room visits go

down. it's huge. less tangible benefits are large. >> it's hard to put it into words, i feel normal again, i feel human, capable of living life again. >> a chance again at life in a place they call home now all the support. >> got there in the end. >> in the english premier league arsenal tightened their grip on a champion's league place with a 4-1 win over liverpool. arsene wenger's side displayed an emphatic first half. a second goal. sanchez putting them up. thanks to a jordan henderson penalty. olive year jerued offered a first kneel. >> we have what we can master mathematically is the top four

where we will finish for the title. we need us to be perfect, and not to be perfect for them. let's focus on what we can master our own performance and go with the same intensity in the next game. >> we need is to be better in the second half. we started the game slowly right from the kick off. and were positive from the first kick of the game. we played backwards. from there we made a couple of loose passes. for the next 10 minutes we were on the back foot. >> elsewhere everton had a much-needed win against southampton. manchester united are are single point behind arsenal in third. manchester city down to fourth. playing crystal palace monday. and charlie adams goal for stoke was not enough. >> i'm happy with the points and

the performance. we didn't play better because the opponents made a good defensive performance. >> in spain, defending league champions went third in the premier league. messi set to return for their trip on sunday. the injury kept the striker out of the friendly matches last week of the the return to training will be a boost, as they extend the league at the top of the table. they cake off a busy period facing seven league fixtures and a champion's league quarterfinal in the next month. >> translation: all titles are important in the circumstances under which you can dispute them make them more or less significant for us if we conquer them. it's not about having unusual goals, but doing what we have done in the past few months.

>> before that game real madrid will be in action. this is their first match since losing 2-1 to barcelona. a result that many fans felt handed the title to the catalans. coach carlo ancelotti disagrees. >> we are convinced. it's not decided. we have to win all the games in la liga and they were going into the stage in better physical condition than last year. the team is fine now. >> tennis world number one serena williams wins the miami masters, outclassing her opponent. who had no answer to her power. 6-2, 6-0 win, handing her a title and a 12th miami win. the runner up enters the top 10
