moment. first we are alongside saudi arabia's border with yemen. >> reports suggest eight civilians died in the city after an air strike. of course the saudis blame the houthis for those civilian casualties saying the houthis are hiding in residential areas and using civilians as human shields. in aden, fighting is continuing between the houthi fighters and the local committees trying to defend residential areas in that city. in the middle of the country tribal formations there the tribes of yemen have announced a major mobilization to confront the houthis. new horriblization has been noised when three saudi soldiers were killed on saturday. this has caused fear and on that apprehension along the border of

more escalation. there is talking invasion, but there is no official decision to that respect by the saudi government. >> aid groups are struggling to deal with the rising number of civilians casualties. food and water supplies are dwindling and prices skyrocketing. al jazeera met one family living in the capitol sanna. we have this exclusive report. >> this forms the backdrop of the seemingly quiet neighborhood in sanna. the mountainous home to a base for the republican guard who backed the houthis and has been targeted by the saudi-led coalition repeatedly. those who live close by say they no longer feel safe. >> we didn't know the war would come. we can only leave things to god. the kids are petrified. my daughter thinks bombs will fall all the time now. when the shelling starts, we

panic. we don't have anywhere to go. we live in a state of fear and don't leave the house. >> she lives with her five daughters, her son daughter-in-law and grandchild. she takes us through their bad living quarters, showing us where the force of the bomb blew out the windows. >> as soon as the bombings happened the glass shattered. we were so scared that my girls and i ran to the corridor and lay on the ground. at least there were no windows there, but we were afraid the ceiling would collapse. >> she shows how shrapnel injured one of the children behind the neck. another needed medical treatment, but they faced difficulties getting her to hospital. it's not just the attacks at night that scare her. she's worried about how she'll feed her family. the stove lice cold and dusty and contain either meant for provisions are empty. >> we've run out of supplies. we don't even have gas.

we can't go out and buy anything, there is nothing in the kitchen. we have no food. schools have been closed since the shelling started. who can go out in this kind of situation. this is no way to live. >> one of her daughters is showing signs of trauma. the girl asks when she can return to school and when the bombings will end. her mother has no answers. al jazeera. >> the saudi-led coalition said its strikes are not targeted at civilians. its the houthis operate near where people live which contributes to the rising death toll. >> the use of schools and sports stadiums and civilian installations is evidence of the abnormal behavior of these groups and the actions that are intended to damage the daily life of citizens and the infrastructure. >> people in kenya's refugee camp are calling on the

government decision to close it. it is home to half a mill somali refugees. three months of given to relocate the camp. it accuses al shabab of hiding in the camp. >> it is home to up to half a million somali refugees, some have lived here 25 years. the first batch came here and were put in this catch in 1991. they say that she have not been involved in the uprest in kenya and are not sure that with their relocation the kenyans will have peace.

the local kenyan population is benefiting a lot from their presence here. they say majority of the workers for the u.n. organizations and other aid agencies carry for them just half hour for the local population. all the vehicles transporting food and other supplies for the refugees belong to the local kenyan population and they are calling on the kenyan government to reconsider its position and let them be here. one of the main things these refugees concerned about is lack of security on the other side of the border, where the kenyan government wants camps for them. officials also tell us it's not the responsibility of the united nations to relocate the refugees from inside kenya. they say that it's up to the kenyan government to speak to its counterpart in mogadishu the government of somalia and look into the logistics of

taking them back. the governments have an agreement already for the relocation of refugees voluntarily back to somalia and so far in the last 20 years it has taken back up to 2,000 refugees who wanted to go back to their country. >> at least one person has been killed and 100 students injured during a stampede at the university of nairobi. it happened after an electrical transformer exploded. the students panicked, thinking it was an attack by al shabab. >> italian and merchant ships rescued around 1,000 migrants near the coast of libya rescued from three overcrowded bolts after sending out a distress signal by a satellite phone. they've been taken to ports in sicily. at least 480 migrants lost their lives in the mediterranean during the first three months of this year. >> turkey has lost trust in the

fighting in ethiopia in the 1970's, one of a thousand troops that president castro sent to help the ethiopian government with its war against somalia. >> it was a just fight. those who wanted to go could go. many went to support ethiopians. they are like us and we made good friends. >> president castro called it an act of solidarity with com address in need. while the cold war was still hot, washington so you cuban involvement in ethiopia, angola and nicaragua and accused havana of aiding armed rebels it calls terrorist organizations. >> freedom fighters or terrorist organizations, cuban history is built on emphasizing the battle of the oppressed against the

oppressor. these were built at defenses against the threat of u.s. invasion. >> the u.s. said cuba provided arms training and safe haven to rebel groups such as the farc in columbia and baath separatists in spain. >> this is for hunger strikers who died in 19 ate one in their battle against british authorities. the following year, washington placed cuba on its list. >> there is a mutual distrust from the big power that believes that they can do whatever they want and small powers have to accept it and the small power that looks at the united states as the big elephant that can hurt it no matter what they do. >> fidel castro said in the early 1990's that cuba's support for insurgents was a thing of the past.

against the houthis for an 18th day. >> people in kenya's dadaab refugee camp asks for a reconsidering of the decision to close it. the camp is home to more than half somalia refugees. >> isil hammer road, bulldozed and blew up parts of a site that has been around for thousands of years. the images confirm reports that it vandalized nimrod in marsh. it sees it as a war against false i'd dolls. >> iraq troops say they are making progress in anbar

province in their offensive against isil. fighters are helping the government offensive. anbar is iraq's largest province. a former advisor to the iraq government said the army with him need greater support. >> sunni tribes of anbar are keen, they do not want let's say any militias to go into their territories, but they will need support. that's a reality. they need manpower and the iraqi army might not be sufficient. they definitely need far more air support. they know the territory very well. i think isil has lost the momentum has lost definitely its initial let's say appeal of the sunni tribe so the tide has

turned against them, but the iraq army needs a lot of support. politically, it is important that the u.s. commits to delivering that support. >> syrian held neighborhood, tootage aired on syrian state television showed damaged buildings and individual people treated at the local hospital. >> in aleppo, 10 people have reportedly been killed following a government air strike on a school in the district. a child and four female teachers were among the dead. >> parents in australia who refuse to vaccinate their children may lose out on government benefits. they could be denied up to $12,000 in payments under a new government policy. andrew tomas has more. >> australia's government is calling this policy no jab no pay. by that they mean families will miss out on tax credits and subsidized child care if they

refuse to have their children vaccinated. australia has a pretty high level of vaccination about 97 beers, but there are pacts in the country where the rate is much much lower and certain diseases like whooping cough are making a comeback. over the last decade, the number of conscientious objectors has risen to 40,000 in australia that's 40,000 children who's parents have said they have a religious or medical or a conscientious reason not to want their child vaccinated. that could mean a short talk with their doctor and a form signed and continued to get benefits. australia thinks that rate is too high and want to bring it down. in the future, the only way to continue to receive these benefits and not have your child vaccinated is if you have a strong religious or medical reason not to. just being a conscientious

objector is not enough. >> hillary clinton is set to launch her campaign for president of the united states. she is expected to announce later sunday that she will run in the 2016 elections. we have a report. >> hillary clinton has spent most of her adult life in the public eye first as the wife of a president then a u.s. senator, and secretary of state. now she will once again try for the presidency. she got close in 2008, but lost to barack obama. >> although we weren't able to shatter that highest hardest glass ceiling this time, thanks to you it's got about 18 million cracks in it. >> in this campaign, she's going to have to walk a fine line. she can't seen as being too close to president obama. he's not widely popular. she also can't distance herself too much. >> what she needs to do is she needs to communicate to a lot of

constituencies that are very close to president obama that he has done a lot for them and she's going to do at much or more. she can't distance herself too much from the president she loses progressives, ethnic minority voters, but she also needs to appeal to independents. >> she could have another issue her name. with jeb bush also expected to jump into the race, there are already complaints about family dynasties. >> the presidency of the united states is not some crown to be passed between two families. it is an awesome and sacred trust to be earned. >> trust could be an issue. she heads into the campaign facing a controversy. she used a private email account as secretary of state and admits she deleted tens of thousands of emails. government records are supposed to be preserved. republicans claim she's covering something up. she is by far the strongest democratic candidate and she is best positioned to raises the millions of dollars a

presidential campaign needs. the other thing she is going for, experience, not just in the white house but the race for it. she's done this twice with her husband and once on her own. she hopes the fourth time is the charm. >> i found be my own voice. >> al jazeera washington. >> a position politician in nigeria are calling for the cancellation of local election results, saying there were widespread irregular hearts. ballot boxes were stolen and election details not delivered. people died in river state. >> people in sudan head to the polls monday. president bashir is running for another term. he's been in power since a military coup in 1989. we spoke to people in the capitol kartoum. >> it's a breezy afternoon. it's also the last weekend before the sudanese head to the polls to vote in presidential and parliamentary elections but

so the theft put back years of painstaking work to increase their numbers. >> we monitor them, we measure them, we see when they cone, their sizes and so on. it feels like one of your children is missing. >> while the threat to other endangered animals like rhinos and elephants is well publicized and funded, this is forgotten. the government doesn't have the resources to properly put a stop to the trade. >> the situation is quite break. unless something drastic is done. >> after surviving catastrophic extinction events, nothing it seems is quite as destructive as humans. cape town, south africa, al jazeera. >> the prestigious metropolitan my seem of art has he can priced
