>> part of al jazeera america's >> special month long evironmental focus fragile planet >> announcer: this is al jazeera. hello, welcome to the newshour i'm jane dutton in doha. hundreds feared dead as reports emerged that yet another migrant boat has capsized in the mediterranean. 90,000 flee from iraq's anbar province, and heads to the capital. the government is not letting everyone in victims of the war in yemen. hospitals work to treat the victims as fighting and air

strikes go on how antibiotics given to animals can affect your health as many as 700 are fared dead in the mediterranean sea, after the boat they are on capsized. it's thought the boat went down 200km south of lampedusa. the italian and maltese coast guards are conducting a major search. 28 bodies have been discovered. paul brennan joins us live from catania. tell us more about what happened. >> there are more details emerging yes, about what happened last night. late saturday night out there in the sea, north of libya. according to the operations room of the italian coast guard in

rome which we have been able to speak to by phone from sicily it was 73 miles from the coast. a migrant boat appears to have been discovered by a portuguese merchant vessel. it approached it. it appears that the migrants flooded to one side of the boat destabilizing their vessel, and in doing so it capsized and they were pitched into the water. the numbers, according to the coast guard - let me say, 28 confirmed rescued, not dead. 28 confirmed rescued. but the survivors are saying there was approximately another 700, perhaps as many as 800 on board, and the search and rescue operation is continuing for those people. there are some 18 ships involved in that. the italian and maltese military, the navy's put out a

distress call for available shipping to head to the area to help in the rescue efforts. there's military vessels and merchant shipping in the area looking for survivors. there's one aircraft and two rescue helicopters dispatched to the area to help in the search and rescue effort. it appears a serious major catastrophe has happened in the see. >> clearly there's something wrong with this picture, from the start to the finish. so much so that the pope has been speaking out as well. what has he been saying. what is he hoping to achieve. >> well there has been increasing pressure over the past week as the numbers of estimated aid dead started to accelerate. in the first quarter of the three months of 2015 of estimated around 500 died trying to make the crossing from libya to the coast line. beginning of last week monday

another 400 are believed to have died. now we have 700-800. numbers are sketchy, it's a big number. the pope has weighed in this weekend, and heed the following, that it's clear that the proportion of the phenomenon required a wider involvement, and we must not tire in urging a broader commitment at a european and international level. the n.g.o. save the children, a charity that has been prominent here on sicily, helping the unaccompanied minors coming off the migrant boats - today they called for urgent high level talks at e.u. leadership level within the next 48 hours to address this problem. the pressure from save the children is that they want the resumption of a search and rescue operation, the italian

rescue from last year that was scaled down. they want them scaled up given the problems encountered out there. >> we'll leave it there. the fact that the head of the catholic church called on the international community to help with the problem off the italian coast. paul touched on the numbers. it is worth repeating. in the last week alone more than 10,000 have been picked up by italian ships. 450 migrants were rescued by an italian navy ship and taken to sis illy. there has been 900 deaths this year, not including the latest incident the spokesperson or the international organization for migration joins us on skype from geneva. welcome, thank you for joining us. the situation, if anything is getting worse.

whatever is being done is not working. isn't it time to crack down on the traffickers, if possible. >> the international organization has been forthright in that part of the thing, what they need to do is tackle the smugglers. they are putting the migrants on the boats. one should tackle the smugglers the way indonesia came together to tackle piracy. hopefully we can avoid these catastrophes. the international communities need to come together very strongly as opposed to what happens now. where the italians are bearing the brunt of rescuing people from the see at this stage. >> what role do rescue missions have. there's a school of thought that it encourages the smugglers and

chose to flee knowing or hoping that they'll be rescued. >> what is happening, when a ship was stopped in november. it was seen by some as the numbers of people crossing going into the sea as people losing their lives crossing the mediterranean (audio breaking up). >> you are breaking up a bit. i'll try one more question. if it doesn't get better we'll leave it. we've lost you. thank you very much to iraq where the u.n. says more than 90,000 people have fled fighting in anbar province they are trying to get into baghdad many are not allowed in.

now, kurdish forces are getting involved in the fighting capturing two villages near kirkuk. [ gunfire ] >> the kurds say they are using the villages as a base to push back i.s.i.l. fighters. kurdish forces have been battling to retake territory from the group since last year to yemen where fighting is intensifying and the humanitarian crisis is grow. militias loyal to abd-rabbu mansour hadi is laying siege to an air base considered crucial to a u.s. drone programme. they are trying to take back the airbase. houthi rebels took control after u.s. advisors pulled out. the saudi-led coalition is continuing their campaign to dislodge.

group, pounding target. aden is the focus of strikes. the fighting is having a catastrophic effect, already struggling. the united nations says 731 people have been killed since air strikes. 150,000 forced to leave their homes. more on the humanitarian system in a moment. first to saudi arabia where our correspondent joins us. update us about what you hear about developments on the ground. >> as you just mentioned in your intro, fighting is raging in aden and in tiaz and other parts of the country. let's mention the development around aden. the air base changed hands several times during the last several weeks.

social since the beginning of the air strikes. the brigade is loyal to former president ali abdullah saleh, but it is close to where abd-rabbu mansour hadi and his government would like to shift --. it is important for them to take it. it is under siege by the loyalists of the legitimate president haider al-abadi. also in aiden, after a bit of calm, now the fighting is intensifying not far from the presidential palace and there's reports of casualties amongst civilians. if tiaz intense fighting and heavy bombardment. tiaz is special because it is one of the most populated cities in yemen and is majority sunni, and is situated between sanaa and aden and the particular

thing is brigade certified north of the city is loyal to president abd-rabbu mansour hadi unusual in the present war in yemen. most of the army brigades are loyal to ali abdullah saleh. there are favourable factors, and this negative thing about tiaz, it's populated. and the houthis infiltrated and there is street fighting and it is dangerous for the population there. >> i know the saudis hope the air strikes will push the houthis to the negotiating table. it doesn't seem to be heading in that direction. >> we have seen the initiatives by russia and iran. both of them worried because they were perceived by saudi arabia because they were short of the expected with regard to pushing the houthis to withdraw from aiden and from sanaa. and we have seen others players

far away from the region like china asking all the sides to come to the negotiation tail. we learnt of a phone call between president obama and the kingston man about this. there is a lot of work going on on the diplomatic front to try to bring the parties to this war to the negotiating table. either via the u.n. or saudi arabia. saudi arabia said it was the goal of negotiation. they want everyone to come to riyadh. we understand of the difficulties. the houthis and ali abdullah saleh loyalists are locked in the war and need someone to help them out of the mess. the human cost of the war in yemen is visible in its hospitals, three government facility facilities are overrun with the injuries. we have this report.

>> reporter: these are some of the victims in war in what that is been a desperate situation in aden. most of the injured are civilians, including children. some are seriously injured, but are grateful to have survived. >> i'm injured. i think, thank god, i've had two operation, i'm waiting for another one. >> there's a shortage of food, water and medical supplies across aden, despite aid. a lot of people left of the city to escape the air strikes. the saudi coalition is targetting houthi conditions. the exiled government allowed saudi arabia has been allowed to take control of air space and territorial waters to get aid in. there are only three government hospitals open to treat the injured in aden. hospital beds are full. it's difficult to reach some of injused. those stuck in the violence and

injured. medical workers say ambulances have been stolen and medics targeted in the fighting. >> translation: we are receiving between five and 20 people every day. some are injured. others in a serious condition. the ambulance couldn't reach them in time. some have died. roads have been blocked by the fighting. >> the red cross says the situation is very bad in aden. it's the civilians paying the price. a senior columnist from the saudi gazette joins us from jetta. thank you for joining us. how is this playing out in saudi, the human cost of the fighting? >> let us remember that there are more than a million yemenis in saudi arabia. many saudis came from yemen. we feel it's a family out there under stress. i was talking to a yemeni here

who told me you can't transfer money to his family. there are many who would like to go back and help, or those who are having medication here, or operations, and they would like to go back and are stuck in many different countries, in egypt, jordan everywhere. so the human situation - i cannot overestimate the situation. it's really bad. we hope the houthis and the - and their allies will dom their senses and end this misery you wonder what will make them come to their senses. it seems that the end game continues to be confusing. >> you are right. the order has not come out from tehran, they don't anything

without orders. the community could pressure you are iran, instead of the houthis. when the ayatollah khamenei and hassan rouhani and the rest find that this is a no go game and it has their ambitions have reached their end. they'll dom their senses and -- come to their senses and tell their stooges in yemen to dom their senses and agree to the terms of the security council resolution. >> in the meantime the u.n. prompted saudi arabia to come up with some money, some funding, some aid. how will it get to those that need it? >> well the saudi - the u.n. ask everybody, every member of the u.n. to come with help to reach the sum of 274. but the king decided to do it

all at once from saudi arabia. now there is a bridge in djibouti, and thanks to the djibouti government for allowing this with our ships and airlines going to all cities including sanaa. and ports, to bring aid to those who need it. the problem is complicated because how do you distribute the aid, and there are is number of fundamental organizations, the red cross, doctors without borders, and others who are trying to help, and we hope the houthis and their allies allow this to happen. it helped their own people and the rest of the yemenis. if they feel they are yemenis, they should allow this to happen. >> thank you, good to have you on the show. >> welcome more coming up on the al

jazeera newshour. we met an ethiopian man that moved to south africa for a better life and is living in fear after a series of attacks against foreigners. paying the price of her father's crime. why this girl went against the traditional form of justice. and lewis hamilton dominates qualifying for the bahrain grand prix will it car him him in the race on sunday. details coming up. let's return to iraq where 90,000 fled fighting in anbar. they are trying to get into baghdad. many are not allowed in. talk us though the fighting omar salah. >> sources in ramadi say the

u.s.-led coalition is carrying out air strikes on a number of i.s.i.l. positions to the north and north-east of ramadi sources. inside they say the city is almost deserted. the g.s.t. has sent two regiments backed by iraqi police forces. they say the humanitarian situation is deteriorating. people are fleeing in masses. there's no water, no electricity. the u.n. says the situation is dramatics, and they are concerned about the safety of the people there. >> why some of them stopped from entering baghdad? well we have been hearing that for the last couple of days. then we find out that checkpoints run by iraqi army and intelligence for the police and for the military say they demand any incoming family to bring a sponsor from baghdad.

and that's why we have seen a lot of long queues and people waiting in the open. what happened is that the parliament called on the government to lift those restrictions. now the security forces are saying they are worried nil might an infiltrated the crowds to come and carry out attacks in baghdad. the actions made a lot of people angry, sunni politicians, and those displaced, angry about the government saying they are treating them ipp differently. >> thank you. >> three people have been killed during a gun fight in the libyan capital, tripoli. [ gunfire ] six others were injured. the tripoli of based government says its soldiers were battling criminal gangs in the city an egyptian court is seeking the death penalty for 11 involved in a deadly riot at a

football stadium. 74 were killed after violence started between rival football fans at port saeed stadium. fans inviteded -- invaded the pitch. more than 70 are on trial inspectors will be banned from military strikes between tehran. iran and six world powers reached a framework deal to the nuclear programme. iran questioned the language in the deal, saying it would have to gave up the nuclear agency access to suspicious sites. >> afghan's president says a group linked to i.s.i.l. claimed possibility for attacks in afghanistan. 35 people are knowning to have decide. decide. decide. -- known to have died.

among them a bank that paid salaries. ashraf ghani renewed calls for unity. >> translation: anyone that has political difference was us is an afghan and must stand in the line of afghans. therefore i call on taliban. today is your day to choose. if you are an afghan and believe in islam, come and stand with your government. >> women who are victims of violence are struggling to get justice. while there's a legal framework in place, says a report it only provides limited options. detailing the experience of 110 afghan women who are victims of violence. only 5% of cases resulted in criminal prosecution. >> in pam stan many people in tribal areas rely on local councils i don't know as jurga,

in some cases they have to give their daughter away. some local leaders say it should be scrapped. >> reporter: this girl is paying the price for her father's crime. when she was five he killed that man in their village during a dispute. a meeting of tribal leaders, known as a jurga agreed she'd be handed over as compensation for the crime. >> translation: i was struggling with my husband, was it her fault. you killed someone, not her, i told him you should go. >> reporter: in the end, the father defied the council's order and kept his daughter. >> there was tremendous pressure from my wife. my daughter was a child. i realised it was brutality towards her. >> reporter: she is afraid the victim's family will try to kidnap or kill her.

this campaigner says she supports the tribal councils as long as they don't violate the rights of girls. >> people don't want to admit that a girl and is ultimately going to go to an enemy's home to pay the price of her father's crime or her brother or her uncle, she's going be mistreated. she's going to be treated like a slave for the rest of her life. >> reporter: the culture of giving daughters away as compensation for murder is changing. many communities no longer support it, it is not acceptable. when it does happens, families do it in private, they don't want the police to find out. four years ago it became illegal in pakistan to use girls as compensation. since then hundreds of tribal elders and families have been arrested and charged. >> it has been exaggerated.

people thing jirgas are resolving issues in this way. it is rare. >> reporter: these men say the tribal councils are changing with the times. what do you think of this system? >> it's very bad. >> reporter: they say they now no longer give girls away permanently. >> now we symbolically present the girl. behind the scenes it's agreed they'll return her with honour and respect. >> reporter: this was a little girl when the council promised her to another family, now she says she wants to study law and make the tradition a thing of the past greece has been urged to present a new and more detailed fiscal plan to its lenders. greek negotiators met in paris with representatives of the

european union. the europe between strang -- central bank and the international monetary fund. greece is yet to provide substantial information detailing its plans for economic reform. >> the objective remains the same restoring stability, ensuring recovery making sure that greece can become sovereign in its financing and in its economic development. they are the objectives. they can be satisfied by different means let's get the weather with rob. talk us through the long reigns. >> yes, you are right, there are two rainy seasons in equatorial africa. let's focus on rwanda. if you look at the satellite. it's a daily change. we are looking here in kampala

and uganda. in the rainy seasons you expect it. we are in the wettest month. we are in march. it dies back to a summer and back to a second. this is erratic, these are averages. what have we been doing so far? it's been dry in many places. in february, 50% of the norm. march was brilliant, almost twice as much. april we are twice as much. it has been dry for many countries. if you get, as is the gays in kigali, you'll reach the average, and the forecast for the next week is this side of africa east equatorial africa will get more rain than recently on contrast on the western side the forecast is for a dry period around the gulf of guinea. two rainy seasons, and we are in it it's happening nicely.

>> thank you rob. still ahead on the newshour. breathing new life in the quest for custom made organs. we'll report on pioneering research in the united states. >> in sport james harden stars for the houston rockets as they take on n.b.a. champions, the dallas mavericks. the latest coming up.

hello again. you are watching the al jazeera newshour he is a reminder of the top stories.

28 people have been rescued after a boat they travelled on capsized in the mediterranean. 24 bodies have been recovered. it is feared up to 700 people were on board the vessel when it went down south of lampedusa militias loyal to president abd-rabbu mansour hadi in yemen is laying siege to an air base considered crucial to the programme, targetting al qaeda fighters. the situation is worsening, 331 people have been killed many civilians. the u.n. says more than 90,000 fled fighting in the iraqi province of anbar. the military is trying to drive out the islamic state of iraq and levant. fighters from ramadi - many fleeing are trying to get into baghdad. many are stopped from entering the capital. let's return to the top story,

hundreds of migrants feared dead after a boat capsized off lampedusa lampedusa. william spindler is a spokesman for the united nations high commissioner for refugees. good to have you with us. what do you know about the incident and who the victims are? >> the information we received from the maltese is that a boat capsized in the early hours of today. a number of people have been rescued and some bodies recovered. it appears that 700 people may be missing. and there's a large rescue operation under way at the moment by the matisse rescue services -- maltese rescue service, coordinated by the italian coast guard and the european border agency.

a number of ships are on the area, searching for survivors, and there's helicopters. we hope that some survivors will be indeed, found. this is the second incident this week where large numbers of people go missing, and it shows how urgent it is for the european union to act to bring this awful loss of life to an end. >> i mean, it's awful. it seems to be getting worse this year. we know that the pope spoke out, saying that countries must do more. what can be done. how do we stop this from happening. >> these are complex issues. we don't thing they are beyond the capacity. we think a number of things and should be done.

we need to increase the capacity to search and rescue people at see. the italians ha a successful operation, which saved some 60,000 lives. operations coming to an end because of a lack of funding. then the capacity to search for people have been reduced. and the result is a loss of life. another thing that we think can and should be done is to find avenues for people to come illegally, in safe legal ways to europe. refugees should have the possibility to come to europe. there are some initiatives in place. gemini has agreed to 30,000 refugees. we'd like to see the european union as a whole, to pay at least 130,000 human refugees in the next two years. this is not a huge task for the

european union. finally, something that can be done and should be done is to help the countries where most refugees are. lebanon, turkey. these countries at the moment host millions of refugees, and should be helped. >> thank you very much for sharing your experience with us and details on the latest tragedy. >> scientists warn that the growing use of antibiotics and farming could increase the instance of super bugs. the use is scoring in the developing world, including kenya, where demand more meat is high. >> reporter: business is booming for daniel. his chicken farm near kenya's

capital nairobi. key to his success is antibiotics. he puts it in the drinking water. the bacteria is tough and resistant. so he changes to another drug. >> there are times that that disease, you give the treatment but maybe 60% of the birds have not been cured. you have to change the treatment up use. because it's not effective. >> reporter: just a few kilometres away in the city, it's takeaways like this where the chickens end up. >> all across the developing world, more and more are eating food like this and not only chicken, but meat and other product. growing population means there's more mouths to feed and more can afford food like this. in the developed world most countries reach maximum meat consumes but in china and

brazil. it's been growing for decades and is expected to grow. in kenya, the boom has begun. more meat means more antibiotics, and more bacteria will be resistant. common infections treated now, will be untreatable and fatal - not just in animals, but in people two. >> here at the headquarters of the international livestock research institute scientists detected an increase in bacterial. this scientist wrote a paper. >> we are gathering the problems. it effects everyone in the world. everyone is dependent on anti-my cobials for their public health and livestock health it's a problem that will get worse and

worse, unless we deal with it now for farmers like daniel they can't deal with it by themselves. it is what kept his family fed and children in school. in developed country farmers used less of the drugs. farmers in the developing world will need help to do the same john fitzgerald is the secretary-general of resume our, the responsible use of chemicals in animals. what do you make of the increase of antibiotics in the developing world? >> i think it's important that we need to bear in mind that antibiotics are drugs needed for animal and human medicine. in the developed countries, we

have been working in this area for a long time trying to ensure we use antibiotics responsibly, and use antibiotics in human medicine to reduce the risk of resistance developing whenever we use an antibiotic. it's important where we pass on the lessons that we learnt in the developed world to the people in the developing world, so they learn from the lessons we have learnt and hopefully minimise the need to use antibiotics antibiotics. >> do you think they are too easy to access. an alternative should be sought? >> well there is a lot of research happening at the moment to find alternatives to antibiotics. there are strict controls across the european union in the way in which antibiotics are made

available to doctors and farmers. it's absolutely crucial that there is a clear regulatory system. in the u.k. no antibiotics are allowed to be prescribed for use on a farm unless a veterinary surgeon, fully qualified, made a diagnosis of a disease on the farm. and we hope we'll have better diagnostic test kits for surgeries and doctors, so they can make more better decisions on which antibiotic is used to treat an infection. >> thank you john fitzgerald from the responsible use of medicines. the u.n. condemned an attack on the citizens in democratic republic of congo. the peacekeeping mission called on d.r.c.'s armed forces to

resume cooperation to avoid a der tear ration in security. 40 unarmed were killed when gunman attacked a village on wednesday. >> president zuma is promising to end violence against mying rants. he cancelled a state visit to indonesia to deal with a series of attacks. police fired rubber-coated bullets at protesters in johannesburg. dozens of shops were looted. charles stratford travelled and met a man that moved to south africa. >> reporter: this man came to inspect what is left of his shop. he came to south africa six years ago to earn money for his family in ethiopia. >> they take everything, money. it's tough. yes.

lost it. >> he says his shop was attacked by people who accused migrant workers of taking their jobs. he says they stole everything he has, including all his savings. >> i don't know, these people is coming. they take the stuff, and in the fridge, money, clothes, this put - everything is took. i have children. i have wife. through my people i support me. why kill me? you kill me, you kill jesus, i kill you. no fighting. >> reporter: the other south african landlord says he's ashamed about what happened. >> criminality. nothing else but that happened. >> it's very obvious the level of poverty this neighbourhood. and people have real needs in terms of lack of jobs and the

services here. that man was the victim of opportunists and criminalments but he has decided to stay and save more money before returning to ethiopia. there are more migrant workers in south africa that have decided to leave. south africa's president visited a camp in durban where migrant workers are getting ready to return to their home countries. >> those who want to go home. they must know that when we arrange everything, when they stop violence they are welcome as they came. >> these people are heading back to malawi by bus. zuma's words mean little to them now. >> we are feeling good. down here we frightened for these people.

how i stay here. i can't manage to stay in this country. >> reporter: he says he has no choice but to take the risk. he can't go back to his family in ethiopia empty-handed it may sound like science fiction, but custom made human parts are a reality. ears can be made and it's hoped complex organs like the heart and live liver can be created. andy gallagher is in north carolina. >> reporter: it's something people would not have thought used to build bladders, heart here at the waite forest institute of medicine they are entering new technology.

here, they enter new territory, the key is 3d bioprinters to build organs, it takes about five hours for this machine to manufacture a human ear. >> this is made out of a biomaterial called pcl. >> reporter: pcl is used as a scaffold on which to infuse living human cells, a technique used to build bladders, heart valves and muscle. much of the work done is funded by the u.s. department of defense. the implications for patients everywhere is never far from researchers minds. >> we get the message that everything we do here will move toward human trials and hopefully enhance their life through the work that we are doing. >> reporter: luke benefitted from early research, given a new bladder and lives a healthy life. the application for this technology is literally limitless. doctors say it may be a few years before bio-3d printers are in hospitals. it's the human impact of the research that keeps scientists

pushing and breaking barriers. in the future it's hoped the work here will pioneer procedures that may lead to construction of complex organs like the heart, liver and kidneys. the lab's director says despite the progress, there's a long way to go. you are never fully satisfied with what is done, because there's also so much ahead. that needs to be done so more can benefit from the technologies. >> but the strides made here by staff from more than 50 countries have already changed lives and are bringing hope to more. floods have mitt north-east malaysia last december were the worst in decades. thousands of homes from destroyed. four months after the deluge a lot of people don't have a place ta call home.

building in the ruins of their home. these workers are helping people who lost just about everything in the floods last december. they are the lucky ones, because they own the land they are building on. many don't. this is a day labourer. his rented house was inundated. it's unsafe to live in now. everything they opened was ruined or floated away. >> i'm worried, we don't have a house. my wife is pregnant. due in september. we want to be settled quickly. we don't see any hope. >> reporter: there's dozens of villages. people salvaged what they can. aid agencies are dealing with people displaced from entire villages like this one, ghost villages - homes washed away by the force of the water, swept off their stilts. all that is left are the steps to a house.

>> our main concern is shelter and the holy month of ramadan is approaching and we hope to move people to temporary housing. >> reporter: safe and secure, the communities are kept together. together.> the government pledged to rehouse those displaced in a state like this. the state like this are not confirmed. many can't rebuild because they occupied public land illegally. it's estimated 160,000 need safe, secure accommodation that can withstand the elements. the process may take a year or more. >> we will met to understand that the problem is implementation. we do not know the real issue. we leave it to the federal government to sort it out. we are focused only on our sigh. >> while state and central governments decide what their

responsibilities are, it's left to charities to build homes like this. it's a slow process identifying land that is safe and legal to build on. badly damaged infrastructure is being repaired. life is getting back to normal. many hope it will be completed been six months, before the next monsoon. still ahead in the newshour we'll have the sport. new masters champion jordan spieth carries on from where he left off in augusta. the heritage championship. those details coming up. up.

time for sport. >> thank you, lewis hamilton in a few hours starts the bahrain grim grand prix from pole. he claimed his fourth poll in a row. coming in ahead of sebastien vettel. the britain is in the form of his career chasing a remarkable ninth race victory. a record stretching back to his win at the italian grand prix last september. >> very happy. came into the weekend. that was the target to really kind of master the track. getting the car into an area that i'm comfortable with. that's how the weekend has gone. laps were pretty good. we can always improve.

very grateful obviously, to have this beast underneath me which i can really attack the corners with. last year i wasn't comfortable to do so. it's a great feeling. >> football manchester city boss told players they have to rebound against their defeat against manchester united last weekend when they face west ham. city lost six out of the last i think, dropping down fourth. another defeat could allow liverpool to sneak in and grab the fourth champion's league position. liverpool four behind city. >> i hope that we will continue scoring goals, and we are not going to make an important mistake, and hope that there is one win, a chance to recover again. >> city's lead title looks like it's heading to chelsea, beating manchester united to open up a 10 point advantage.

the only goal scored at stamford bridge. >> 11 points to be champion. football is not about if, it's not about almost. it's about automatic. when the math mattic is done it's done. we celebrate until that moment. we need victories. liverpool captain steven gerrard is set to lead the team out against aston villa in the cup final. he missed the team's last three matches because of suspension and will leave at the end of the season. the last game could be the fup final -- f.a. cup final. liverpool have to beat villa and brendan rodgers feels his captain's experience will be crucial. >> they experienced big goals and moments, and produces a

great contribution to the team. as i say the most important thing is having them back. he knows wembley very well and he is someone who has a special quality. >> arsenal returns to the final after beating redding in the last four, scoring through sanchez. only for gareth to equalize. in the 105th minute sanchez capitalized to score the winner sending arsenal through. a midweek loss shaken off against porto. sebastian giving a first half lead. near the end they secured the point, scoring an own goal to seal the wind. >> in spain, the la liga title goes down to the fire.
