>> emmy award winning investigative series... >> we have to get out of here... south sudan: country of dreams only on al jazeera america >> coming up in the next 60 minutes: >> the sound of gunfire echos across aden as the battle for yemen's south intensifies. >> voting begins in sudan in an election expect to return president omar bashir back to power. millions of dollars pretend but only a quarter of the money has shown up, the struggle to

rebuild gaza. >> milking the sun for everything it's got the mirrors that could revolutionize the business of power. >> in yemen strikes object multiple targets in the south of the country by the saudi-led coalition. planes have been hitting targets in shabwa, heavy fighting on the ground, tribesmen getting involved in that. there's concern about the houthi advance into the south because of a proximity to the red sea and gulf of aden key shipping routes for oil. a journalists explained the

situation on the ground. >> the tribes are sending forces and ground offensive but we haven't seen action on the ground against the houthis and saleh's forces to have been in control for four days. >> airstrikes alone won't achieve the coalition's aims according to this journalist. >> it's a confused situation on the ground. some people are fighting for survival fighting for their own ground because this i guess not a two horse race here, houthis versus the rest. there are extremists, there are isis forces, al-qaeda forces and there are others who are just fight to go survive.

al-qaeda douse members from various tribes, usually people who are disaffected by tribe but there are some tribes who supported al-qaeda, sometimes because they will in al-qaeda, sometimes because it is the best option for them, given the other options they have been ranged against. there will be al-qaeda connections with these strikes. again, unclear to what extent these people are closely affiliated. the situation is very confused not just for observers but also on the ground itself. it will remain until we get ground forces in. now, this is the problem that the saudi coalition is facing. they want to avoid ground forces but they can't really make any meaningful change on the ground using air power alone. that is a lesson that the west i

think has learned in just the last decade, and i'm afraid the middle eastern forces, the saudi forces are only just beginning to confront those difficult choices. >> aid agencies are voicing their alarm in the humanitarian impact of the fighting. while it's tough to get exact numbers, the u.n. estimates more than 600 have been killed since airstrikes began. a further 2200 people have been wounded. the violence has driven an estimated 100,000 people from their homes. one of the most pressing concerns is hunger. according to the u.n. before airstrikes began, 10 million people in yemen faced difficulties obtaining food. that's gone up to 12 million. the fighting is making it extremely difficult to get in. two planes from the international committee of the red cross landed carrying 53 tons of medical supplies. we have the u.n.'s assistant secretary general for human rights with us.

thank you very much for joining us. i'd like to hear what you know about the humanitarian situation and the security situation at the moment. >> there is no doubt that both humanitarian and security council situation are very challenging. yemen was previously a poor country, and now under these challenges the situation is rampantly deteriorating. what we also afraid that even if conflict would be stopped now there would be repercussions for the developmental side. however at the moment, of course it's important to find political solution, and to stop killing. >> how do you do that? >> over 600 killed, you say yeah but more than half of it civilians. this is particularly concerning.

>> civilians the majority of them being civilians. >> we do not know exact numbers but ratio is already clear. >> you've got all sides pointing fingers at the other four for conduct be atrocities, houthi blaming the coalition forces for the airstrikes and coalition blaming the houthis for using human shields. what are you finding what is the reality? >> unfortunately we do not have our international staff at the moment underground. they had to withdraw for security reasons however we do have some national human rights officers who are there as well as our contacts in civil society, so we are receiving informations but at the moment, we cannot sufficiently cross-check them in order to be quite sure. so far, we can say with

confidence that both sides have not exercised first restraint that there was targeting and we're concerned about that. >> you talk about a political solution. >> right. >> it's a very murky picture there. we have so many moving sides. how do you take that into account, including the regional concerns and some of the problems that the u.n. sees? what is essential now is that an acute crisis that does not involve into chronical one. we have seen in syria where we have entered into fifth year of not only fighting, but killing including killing civilians. now, i think that there is still a window of opportunity when fighting and killing in yemen

could be stopped so i think it's important that we got broad international support for secretary general's representative to the country. it seemed that for certain point in time, he was able to work on some sort of compromises and arrangements. i think that it should be continued and that he should get proper backing from member states including the security council. >> yes the security council i mean as you know, russia is not happy with the fact this these strikes went ahead without getting prior agreement from the u.n. security council. they are calling for some sort of human corridor to get aid supplies. if you don't have all sides agreeing all sides on the same page how do you overcome that? >> well, syrian example has shown tragic consequences of the

divisions of the p5. i don't think we can afford the same in yemen. >> this might drive them to a conclusion. thank you very much. >> pleasure talk to you. >> sudan people are voting in presidential and parliamentary elections. the long time leader omar bashir cast his ballot. this was him a few hours ago in kartoum. the 71-year-old is expected to win with a landslide. we are in kartoum. many there feel disillusioned. >> someian men have lived for as long as omar bashir has been president. he said he would not seek reelection but it is almost certain he will likely win this election. >> this 25-year-old university student's family have been

they did in education in health in industry, in social systems. >> in his campaigns the president has promised to deal with the security problem in part of the country for the national dialogue and speed ahead the process of rewriting the constitution. >> walk around kartoum most of the campaign forces you find, he is it seems he is the only one campaigning. he had the resources state power and his government has silenced dissenting voices with regular crackdowns and arbitrary arrests. >> her concern is how her life will improve. >> there will be no difference between the old and new government. i just want my business to be good for my children and i. >> do you have a voter's card?

allegations. the key thing is that all of these eight men have close links to the president, two are former chiefs of staff, one her current chief of staff, one is the current prime minister. perhaps more intriguingly is that he said he made a payment to her campaign manager during the 2012 election campaign, saying that he paid him $180,000 and said that was used for the presidential campaign. >> she says that she will support the investigation that justice must be served and men involved saying they will cooperate with investigators. >> let's get the weather. i thought that the snow was over in boston. what's going on? >> it is. it takes a long time to disappear. in that is still on the ground.

continuously rains in the southern states. behind me, that snow pack is being added to in california. the focus remains here with temperatures of 21-25, you can imagine this is semi tropical air. it's just coming up from the gulf the gulf waters high 20s that's a lot of moisture to go in the air. this is going to keep range for the next two or three days. there's floods in northern florida and mississippi and louisiana and it will carry on that way. even on wednesday still range in southern texas though in dallas it stopped. atlanta, georgia it's still wet. jane. >> a team of scientists in australia says its developed a technique, the making of so-called super credit criminal steam may be a game changer for the renewable energy industry. an drew tomas explains.

comes from making that hot fluid today and expanding it threw a turbine. we are changing the front end and having concentrate sun to make that hot flied replacing the normal heat production which comes from coal or gals or even nuclear. >> the potential is enormous. it wouldn't take huge areas of land to create big quantities of power. >> this is just a prototype but the hope is that in years to come, there could be fields are solar mirrors in deserts all over the world, one just 50 by 50 kilometers could provide enough electricity for a quarter of all australia's needs. >> at the moment, the technology is very expensive and recent fumes in the price of fossil fuels don't make innovative green solutions competitive. this technology could represent the best chance for solar to play a big role in electricity

that's going to be her challenge, if she really wants it she's going to have to show it. >> this time, she will frame her message through home style gatherings focusing on women. republican hopefuls who consider her their probably opponent are attacking what they see as her vulnerabilities. >> i think the thing is about the clintons is that there's a certain sense that they think they're above the law. i think there's this grand hypocrisy in the sense that we've got this whole war an women think they talk about and yet hillary clinton has taken money from countries that rape victims are publicly lashed. >> clinton may face criticisms in the democratic primaries. so far no major candidate has emerged to formally challenge her. >> with this state's caucuses nine months away, she will be back many more times to nail down to win with or without a

gangs are formed. al shabab is there. we've had enough. we want them to relocate on the other side of somalia. >> the refugees deny accusations al shabab operates in their camps. >> camps were meant for just 90,000 people received waves of refugees fleeing conflict and drought, pushing population to almost half a million people. despite tough sentence here, most see them as a better alternative to life in somalia. >> we met elders from the refugee community in a crisis meeting. >> going back to somalia i also not an option for us. even the leaders of the somalia he government are not safe and have to travel in tanks blocking to the peacekeepers. if kenya is tired of hosting us, we request the international community to resettle us in a safe country. >> it's not the first time the kenyan government called for the

repatriation of somalia refugees. an agreement between kenya somalia and the u.n. has seen the voluntary turn of almost 2,000 refugees in the past year. the latest call by the kenyan government is its boldest so far. the threat that kenya will forcefully remove the refugees if the u.n. doesn't is what worry the residents most. they have this warning for the kenyan authorities. >> if we are returned against our will, then thousands of young men among us will join al shabab. they will have no option but to join the group. it is the only thing be that will give them relevance. >> u.n. officials say it will be impossible to close the camps and any move to relocate the refugees must be agreed upon by kenyan and somalia authorities. al jazeera at the dadaab refugee camps in northern kenya. >> kenya's united nations

country representative joins us live from nairobi. thank you for joining us. we've been waiting on you to speak to the government about this situation. i'm wondering if you have spoken to the government and what are they saying? >> we have, yes spoken to the government about the announcement that has been made. indeed the concern that two main concerns are raised, first a security concern that dadaab is a very large place. it has -- >> i'm i'm very sorry we've lost sound there apologies for that. >> 46 humanitarian groups have issued a report saying that reconstruction of gaza has barely begun since the war ended eight months ago. only a quarter of funding has been released and usuallyion the international community to immediately end the blockade on gaza. we have more from west

jerusalem. >> it's been six months since the international community pledged $3.5 billion to reconstruct the gaza strip and this home is one of 19,000 destroyed homes in the war that have yet to be rebuilt. he's living in a makeshift shelter near his destroyed home in the district which israel heavily bombarded lasted summer. without basic necessary cities, staying warm i also hard work. he searches for wood in the rubble around him to make a fire. >> i blame all sides. i cannot blame one party. all parties have to agree on how to carry the reconstruction. if they don't agree we'll be the victim. >> 46 humanitarian organization have issued a report saying only a quarter of the money pledged for reconstructing gaza has so far about that released. 100,000 people are still homeless here after israel's

third and most destructive war on gaza in six years. some people in gaza blame their own leadership for their despair. >> both hamas and fatah are using us to trade with the international community. this makes us want to explode leaves us with few options. we either have it israel to finish us off or explode in our government's face. we don't know what to choose. >> the report calls for the international community to urgently pressure israel to lift the eight year glock cade on gaza, deliver on promises of reconstruction and resume ceasefire operations in order to prevent another conflict. it describes the crisis as man made. while donors have retrained from releasing funds the report it is by doing so, both donors and israel are entrenching this

political split rather than challenging the blockade, the report also found that most donors are accepting ways to work around it. jewel we need to and the blockade making sure there are consequences and accountability for it staying in operation. >> the aid groups that put the report together say unless world leaders implement a new approach that addresses the root causes of the worsening humanitarian situation in gaza, another war may be inevitable. the report suggestion the international community should use the u.n. arms trade treaty to pressure israel to lift the blockade on gaza. it obliges significant in a stories to suspend armed transfers that will use them to attack civilians. the question i guess whether the international community will respond to this recommendation. al jazeera west jerusalem.

>> that we can go back to our guest in nairobi kenya's united nations country representative. i was asking you about the ken i can't be government's closing down the dadaab refugee camp. you said you had spoken to the government and were giving us an update on the situation there. >> i spoke to the government, and two main concerns were raised the number one concern was security. dadaab is a place which has 350,000 people, the size of a middle town here in kenya so there is a concern of trying to make sure that we can secure it better than what was done so far. the other issues of course is that that is locate very close to the border. the other issue that the government has is the repatriation. we signed an agreement back in

2013 november, 2013, and the feeling is that the support that was expected from the international community inside somalia is not really there to make sure people can return and repatriate. >> you are going to keep the camp there that you will be able to pull that off under certain conditions that you have to meet? that's not something that i can say, but what we can say at this stage is that the main concern that the government has and the reason why the closure of the dadaab camp is something that was discussed over the weekend and mentioned over the weekend was mainly for security reasons. >> doesn't -- sorry sorry ok, i understand the security concerns. isn't there some sort of international or legal obligation that the government is under to look after those

refugees there? >> the government has done so, and dadaab is a camp which has been here for the past more than 20 years 20-25 years and the government has for all these years provided asylum and support to all refugees, so that has been there. the issue now as i mentioned it security in that camp, which is the reason why the government has now started talking about the return of refugees, so addressing these issues of security is what we started discussing with the government. >> will there be military presence, for example will you be moving some people out lessening the pressure within the camp? >> there is already a fairly significant security presence in the camp, but we probably need to go beyond that, need to provide more support to the government in ensuring security

in and around the camp. the main concern put on the table by the government was one that had to do with the security in and around the camp. >> thank you very much. >> stay with us on the news hour. all the sport is coming up. top cyclists with a near disaster with a high speed train. we have all the details.
