11:02 am
situation. aid is arriving, but the violence hampering efforts to get it to the people who need it. aid groups are struggling to deal with a rising number of civilian casualties. food and water supplies are dwindling and prices are skyrocketing. al jazeera melt one family in the capitol sanna, we have this exclusive report: >> the backdrop of the seemingly quiet neighborhood in yemen's capital sanna the mount is a military base. 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've got nowhere to go. we don't know if we'll live or
11:03 am
die. 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 pointing to one room where the force of a 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 are no windows there, but we were afraid the ceiling would collapse. >> she shows us how shrapnel injured one of her children. another fell ill and needed medical treatment but they faced difficulties getting her to hospital. it's not just the attacks at night that scare this mother of six. she's worried about how seem feed her family. in the kitchen the stove lies cold and dusty and containers meant for provisions are empty. >> we've run out of supplies.
11:04 am
we can't go out and buy anything. there's nothing in the kitchen. we have no food. schools have been closed. who can go out in this kind of situation? this is no way to live. >> she said 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 the at civilians. it said the houthis near where people live which contributes to the rising death toll. >> the use of schools and stores stadiums and civilian incidents lakes 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. >> the beyond nations said it is doing its best for those fleeingary mock on the outfirst
11:05 am
of the syrian capitol. a school has been visited in the nearby district where several palestinian families are living after fleeing the camp. government forces have been fighting with isil who seized control of much of the area more than a week ago. syrian rebels shelled a government held enabled in aleppo early saturday, killing at least nine people. footage aired showed damaged buildings and injured people treated at the local hospital. >> also in aleppo, 10 people have been killed following a government air strike on a school in a direct. a child and four female teachers were among the dead. most of those wounded are reportedly children. >> let's go to egypt now and growing unrest in the sinai peninsula. a car bomb exploded near the main police station killing at
11:06 am
least three soldiers and injuring 30. earlier in the day there was another bomb blast targeting an army vehicle. six soldiers were killed there. a group pledging allegiance to isil says it was behind that attack. the al jazeera cairo bureau chief joins us now in the stood co. talk us through what you think is happening why we're seeing this increase in violence targeted at soldiers in particular. >> actually, in the last 10 days is a continuous attacks even between the army or between the military groups. it started the last tuesday, we can say when the military groups attacked a checkpoint or military point and after that, there was a bombing of a military tank or army tank,
11:07 am
which is already sent to at least two officers. today there is many attacks not only these attacks, there is about at least four attacks in different. this morning there was at least one soldier -- and there is another attack which has already killed six, one of them is an officer, army officer and before, you know just hour there is bombing attack against one of the main police stations in a very prestigious area. this is first attack in this area. in this attack, there is at least three people killed, one of them is high ranked officer maybe kennel ranged in that
11:08 am
police station and others are injured, so we are expecting it may be more people were killed in this. >> what do you think the government's likely to do antmilitary? they've also been worried in the past about how the military has responded to these attacks. they've been particularly brutal. >> yeah, before that, you know, the official authorities was you know, was trying to keep secret and they didn't announce any of information about these attacks, but after, you know, after isil started to announce and to issue the videos showing how they are attacking and killing and announcing that the accurate numbers of people killed and injured, they are starting today army spokesman he after just maybe half an hour of the morning attacks he already announced officially the
11:09 am
real numbers of soldiers and officers who killed and injured in that attack, so we are facing, we can say, two kind of war, the military war on the ground and there is also a media war between the military groups and the official army and police. we can say also these attacks comes at the same time of big change in the military leaders the second army, which is already based north of sanai also the leaders intelligence, all these organizations changed today with new leaders so the government and the army i think they feel it's a very critical and dangerous situation they are
11:10 am
facing that. >> in yemen we heard about the attacks in sanna but we want to look closer now at the south where some of the fiercest fighting is happening the houthi remembers trike to take aden. that is where president adou rabbo mansour hadi tried to set up a temporary administration before he fled the capitol. local tribesmen have launched attacks against houthis. the houthis have also been advancing on shabwa in a bid to control where most of yemen's energy reserves are shipped but facing tough resistance from tribesman, peter joins us from york, god to of you with us, peter salsbury. these tribesmen seem to be joining forces to take on the
11:11 am
houthis. what do you know about them and how effective could they be? >> the problem to date in fact has been not that the tribesmen aren't fighting back, but that they haven't been able to coordinate between themselves. we're seeing in the south a mounting resistance, this at the same time by an alliance of the houthis and yemen's former president ali abdullah saleh to take the south of the country. tribes are fighting back against the houthis but thus far haven't really been able to coordinate with each other or it would appear to coordinate particularly well with the coalition being launched out of saudi arabia, so the problem isn't so much the people aren't fighting back, it's they lack the coordination between them. >> you say the fact that they haven't be coordinating with the coalition suggests that they would be the have alkyd links
11:12 am
these tribes. the real concern obviously al-qaeda has a big presence in the south that al-qaeda is going to be stepping into the void. >> yes so what we are seeing in the east of yemen is that al-qaeda have effectively seized control of the southeastern port city which is a very important strategic location and what would appear to have happened there is they've come to some type of deal within the main tribal alliance. i wouldn't say they are working together but the decision seems to have been made that for the moment the bigger issue for both groups is rappeling any houthi advance. they are now said to be looking at a town in the central province and that's the point in which they start taking on al-qaeda but at one and the same time, the important thing to remember in yemen is we are
11:13 am
often given a clean cut narrative that there is al-qaeda and tribes and they are separate things but often tribal groups work with al-qaeda or parts of al-qaeda often not because of ideological underpinnings but because they serve their interest best in the short term. at this moment in time, many tribesmen must be considering the idea that working with al-qaeda may be in their best interests if they are to push the houthis back. >> these complexities you highlight just show how difficult it will be to reach a certainly not a military solution but a political solution that suits all parties. >> absolutely, but at the moment what's becoming clearer after more than two weeks of airstrikes the saudi's said yesterday they've launched 1200 airstrikes over the past two weeks is that a military
11:14 am
solution probably isn't going to work in yemen and given the direness of the humanitarian situation, given the collapse of the economy given the fact that people are going very hungry, given the fact that maybe 100,000 people have been displaced, it would be a great sign if both sides could reach some kind of ceasefire apartment issue seems to be that the houthis have no intention on laying down their arms, but may consider a ceasefire where as the saudis are saying they will not enter into a ceasefire until the houthis have laid down arms. they seem to be in an in tractable solution in terms of a of solution. >> there's much more to come here on the al jazeera news hour. >> i want the elections to be fair and we want our ruler to be somebody new. >> in sudan omar bashir strike
11:15 am
to extend his 25 year rule. >> i'm on the island in costa rica. we'll show you how a woman's collective has worked hard to save these unique mangrove swamps. >> in sports, a mercedes rivalry renewed on and off the shanghai racetrack. coming up. >> 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. the group killed at least 148 students at a university in garissa 10 days ago. >> people in kenya's dadaab
11:16 am
refugee camp are calling on the governments decision to close it. it is home to nearly half a million somalia refugees. they have given three months to locate the camp. it accuses al shabab of hiding there. we have been talking to people in dadaab. >> the first batch of refugees came to dadaab and were put here. the kenyan government is calling for the relocation across the border saying that they have not been involved in the insecurity in kenya and they are saying there is no assurance with their relocation kenya will have peace. they are saying if the kenyan population the local kenyan
11:17 am
populations, they say majority of the workers for the u.n. organizations and other aid agencies care for them just half hour from the local population, all the vehicles they say also that are 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 are concerned about is lack of security on the other side of the border where the kenyan government won't care for them. they say it's up to the kenyan government to speak to its counterpart, the government of somalia and look into the logistics of taking these
11:18 am
refugees back home. the governments have an agreement for the relocation of refugees voluntarily back to somalia. in the last 20 years it has taken back up to 2,000 refugees who voluntarily wanted to go back to their country. >> turkey says its lost trust in the vatican after pope france described the massacre of armenians at genocide. turkey summoned the vatican's ambassador after the comments. the pope made remarks at a church service attended by the airmenian president. historians believe up to 1.5 million people were systematically killed by forces in 1915. airmen i can't's president said the pope's comments delivered a powerful message to the international community. >> we're getting messages from all over the world armenians
11:19 am
all over the world are touched by this message. they consider this 100 year long fight for recognition as still going on, but there are already significant results. >> i'm jailed now by the vice chairman of the act party from anchora via skype. why has turkey summoned the vat kepts ambassador after the comments? >> much disappointed because of the attitude of the pope.
11:20 am
11:21 am
is too much on this propaganda to make this identity which is being established against the turks. >> what do you want the vatican to do now? >> actually, under the pressure of the armenians making very strong lobby in all of the world, all european countries and the u.s. state also. it is 100 year anniversary of 1915 and 2015 is the anniversary, and they want to make from it as sort of, i mean
11:22 am
celebration of their nation symbolism. they want to make am -- against the turks. what happened to history is belonging to history and if you open that far, we have much more to say about this, because the turks as a turk, we have much more to say about this -- under these poor conditions, many people were killed by armenian guns. hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people were killed at that time and it was at the same time when in the -- quarter million people -- quarter million soldiers were killed and there was an attempt to make a rebirth against the society.
11:23 am

11:24 am
his journey here lasted many months and took him through many countries, often at great risk. germany was his ultimate goal. >> after all this hardship, it was like dream for me to arrive in germany. everything for me like i imagined people are welcoming us here. >> this father comes to the center from time to time, part of an initiative that aims to bring these people toping with the local community. back at st. peters, he tells me why he feels this initiative is important. >> at first most of afraid of these people because they have a natural fear of the unknown. it's also true that there is a large number of people that want to help these refugees. to combine both, to take away
11:25 am
the fears as well as to help is one of the main tasks that we want to achieve here. >> just a few minutes down the road it's a different story. in the town, a building that was intended for asylum seekers was recently set on fire. last year, more than 160,000 people applied for asylum in germany, up more than 60% on the previous year. he received around 3% of the total. >> the state authorities say that acts like this will not stop their plans to continue housing asylum seekers but here, public opinion on the matter is divided. >> we would welcome anyone who chooses to come here. we're constantly losing respondents in this city, especially the young people are disappearing so if young people or families would come here, that would be very beneficial. >> how should i say it? i say it like this, there was someone brave enough i don't

>> a car bomb exploded near the main police station in the sinai peninsula, killing three soldiers and injuring 30. earlier there was another bomb blast targeting an army vehicle six soldiers were killed there. >> turkey said it lost trust in the vatican last pope francis described the massacre of armenians at genocide. at your co admits armenians died but denied it was a genocide. >> these are the latest pictures in brass still with rallies planned across the country on sunday. people unhappy with the president who is just three months into her second term in office her approval rate has dropped to 13%. we have a report from sao paulo. >> he believes it's a battle of
11:31 am
right against wrong. he has become a familiar figure of anti-government protests in his superhero costume. >> i never imagined i would be a symbol of protest and rebellion against this government. >> he will join millions in the latest protest against president rousseff and her government. >> batman's going to that my city is a violent and corrupt place. brazil is a violent and corrupt place where villains are in power. there is a similarity with a man who rejects violence and decides to fight for justice. this inspired me. >> it's just six months since rousseff won a second term. it was a clothe battle which split the country. >> her popularity is falling almost as quickly as the country's economy tax issues, there will be government protests on the streets but
11:32 am
millions will come to places like this and tell the president it's time to go. >> demonstrations last month saw people on the streets in more than 50 stipes across the country. the president was the chairman of the oil company at the time high profile officials allegedly took bribes for construction contracts, although there is no suggestion the president was involved. this man will join the protests, saying enough is enough. >> as a father, i'm leading the movement called upset on line in order to offer a bright future to my kids, my grandchildren and my great grandchildren. >> president rousseff has taken steps to address the issues raised in the protests, it may help her in the long term, but there will be demonstrations in more than 400 cities and towns.
11:33 am
there will be no disguising the message that they want her to go. that. >> opposition politicians in nigeria are calling for the cancellation of local election results saying there were widespread irregularities. people headed to the poles saturday to vote in local elections. yvonne ndege is covering the story for us. what is the latest from river state? >> well, the election commission in rivers has started announcing results in this race, and so far what they're saying is that the ruling party the people's democratic party the party of president goodluck jonathan is in the lead. apparently it's managed to win at least 14l.d.a.'s, local government areas out of 23 in river state so it seems like a resounding defeat for the ruling party.
11:34 am
people have been celebrating the fact that officials here have announced the ruling party is winning, however the picture is incredibly different elsewhere and this is happening against the backdrop of calls for the complete cancellation of the election that took place yesterday and in this areas today. what the opposition is saying just as you were in the intro is that no credible election took place, that there were widespread violence, election ma'am practices and irregular irregularities intimidation of voters and snatching of ballot boxers and no free election took place. they are calling on opposition supporters to take to the streets and protest if the electoral commission does compare one a winner in this race. it's not clear obviously how people with him react to that call. as i said here with i am, people are celebrating the news that the ruling party is winning this election so far. >> why are they celebrating? how do they think it's going to
11:35 am
affect them? >> the power that governors in nigeria wield is huge and the political clout massive. thirty state governors control economies and budgets that run into the billions of dollars and it matters who is in charge, which political party is in charge because states like river state which is the rich evident oil producing state in nigeria and the epicenter of a battleground between the two main parties as i say that is a state like this contributes so much money to these political parties so there's been this immense contest. it's important to point out that this particular state has always been in the hands of the ruling party since the end of military rule 16 years ago. many wonder whether the momentum given that the opposition that the a.p.c. under which the president elect wants some thought that momentum could be carried to the state and the
11:36 am
opposition win here. what we are hearing so far are is that that is not the case, that there's no definitive result out yet. >> thanks for that. >> the u.n. is holding a crime conference here in qatar delegates locking at ways to find different kinds of organized crime. high on the agenda is one of the fastest growing forms cyber crime. the u.n. said it affects 400 million people every single year. around 14 adult victims every second. the most common form is identity theft. more than 80% of cyber crime is thought to be carried out by organizations rather than individuals. it is thought that she a business worth more than $3 trillion a year. because of legal loopholes in many countries it's hard for authorities to track down those behind cyber crime. the executive secretary of the cyber crime convention committee joins us from doha. thank you for joining us.
11:37 am
what a big problem. what have you decided to do to try to put a stop to it? >> we have to realize that cyber crime is a serious threat against fundamental rights of people affecting hundreds of millions of data of people stolen every year. this is an attack against the right to private life. if websites, civil society organizationses shut down, if t.v. stations are shut down, this is clearly attacks against freedom of expression and so we have to understand cyber crime is a threat to fundamental rights. here we are discussing criminal justice aspects of cyber crime the means how law enforcement can protect people by having access to data by having access to specified data in the context of specific investigations, and how this can be reconciled with rule of law and conditions.
11:38 am
>> how long does it take to get an investigation going. >> we need to find more efficient ways of sharing information gnarly. if i send a message from a device here in doha to a journalist meeting us here, we need indeed efficient and effective international cooperation the tools are there and conditions clear. we need to make sure that any country around the world has the necessary legislation in place that the powers that law enforcement have to access data are clearly defined by law that measures proportion and oversight, the conditions are there for that. we just now have to -- >> excuse me for jumping in. who are these people? there are quite a few
11:39 am
organizations doing thissing if that if that that's the case, how hard is it to infiltrate these groups? >> the problem is indeed we have more and more criminal organizations operating in different countries. as long as we are having safe havens. if you have countries without you the necessary legal framework in place countries not prepared to operate criminal corporations will go there and operate from there. >> what can i do when i go home, how do i protect my data? what can we all do? >> well, the first recommendation is have, use a lot of common sense. if you get emails that you don't know where it comes from, don't open them. don't trust anybody. june thank you for that wise
11:40 am
advise. going to learn how to get common sense, as well. >> china is expected to limit access to hong kong, only allowing a visit once a week. there's been growing tension in hong kong over the number of visitors from the mainland who buy products and then resell them at higher prices across the border. we have reaction from shoppers and hong kong residents. >> that this is a special economic zone across the border from hong kong. in 2009, the chinese government granted residents of the city permission to apply for multiple entry permits into the territory, but with these new restrictions, they will be only allowed to travel once a week. >> this is definitely going to be an issue for me. i often come here because it is much more convenient for me to buy quality medicines for my family and other imported goods
11:41 am
from hong kong. >> it is shops like these frequent by mainland visitors that will be most effected. the number of visitors is expected to drop 4.6 million people a year, a 10% drop from the number of mainland tourists in 2014. >> i welcome this policy, because it can free up the streets and could reduce rental prices for shops so that we avoid the situation of hong kong stores only catering to mainland tourists and squeezing out local business. >> the chinese government made the decision after weeks of protests last month some of which turned violent against mainland traders who came to buy goods to sell back across the border. hong kong products are considered to be higher quality as they meet stringent safety standards, but there has been an underlying resentment against mainland tourists. last year alone there were
11:42 am
47 million mainland visitors. that's six times the population of hong kong. >> 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. families with him 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 97% but there are pockets in the count rip where the rate is much lower and certain diseases 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 of said they have either a religious or a medical or
11:43 am
conscientious reason not to want their child vaccinated. that could mean they've had a short talk with their doctor, gotten a form signed and got permission to get benefits. australia's government want to bring that rate down. in future, the only way you'll be able to continue to receive these benefits as an australian parent is if you have a strong religious or medical reason not to. just being a conscience husband objector is no longer enough. >> on monday, voters in sudan head to the polls for presidential and parliamentary elections. president omar bashir has been in power since a military coup in 1989. we spoke to people in the capitol kartoum. >> it's a breezy afternoon along the blue nile in kartoum the last weekend before the sudanese vote in elections but politics
11:44 am
doesn't seem to be on anyone's mind. we spoke to 30 people. it was hard to find someone planning to vote. >> we want our leader to be someone new because frankly, we are fed up with bashir. >> he is the only sitting penalty wanted by the international criminal court for war crimes in darfur. critics say he has squashed civil liberties. as we saw at this presidential rally, he is a charismatic man backed by many, especially women. they are said to be his biggest supporters. >> we are here to provide a better way of living for citizens and help the weak and the poor. we don't want anyone to be hungry. >> there are 10 men and one woman running against bashir,
11:45 am
but you wouldn't know it watching television. >> i just see one person, it is omar bashir. i would like to see more options. >> many here say the economy is the most pressing issue facing sudan. the official unemployment rate is 18% and inflation is 37%. >> if the government is serious about dealing with the miserable economic reality there are two things the government should do, one, cut government spending and two combat ram plant corruption. >> when elections begin monday, may be sudanese expect five more years of the same, even as they long for change. al jazeera kartoum. >> you can find out much more about the election on our website. go to the front page for an interactive look at how the vote will work. you can find out about the parties running and more about
