rising sun, it sank in 1917. thanks for joining us. i'm tony harris, the news continues next live from london. >> this is al jazeera. >> it is very good to have your opinion. you're watching the al jazeera newshour live from london, i'm david foster, this is what we're looking at in detail in the next 60 minutes. a boat runs aground off greece. the eu agrees on a ten point plan to improve the crisis. a bomb blast in the yemeni capital of sanaa. we'll speak to a survivor.

south africa's zulu king denies he's to blame of the crisis. despite the recent outbreak of violence in yoach. ethiopia. well the european union's foreign policy chief says member states must act on the mediterranean migrant crisis as ships responded to distress calls from two more boats which are carrying some 400 people. maltese, are starting to bring board the survivors only ahandful of survivors there with one of them suggesting that as many as 950 people were actually on board. on monday, the sailboat carrying migrants ran aground off the greek island of rhodes before breaking up.

the greek coast guard said three people are drown and 90 people were rescued. europeans are meeting to produce what they call is a ten point action plan. paul brennan reports from catania, southern island of sicily. >> being battered by waves clinging to what's left of her boat a woman tries to protect a young child. attention focused on migrants leaving north africa for italian waters this boat hit rocks off the greek island of rhodes. not known how many others are still missing. on ma ta bodies malta bodies are being brought ashore. 24 corpses have been recovered but as many as 900 drowned when think capsized off the coast of

libya on saturday night. of the hundreds on board just 28 were saved. those survivors are on their way to the sicilian port of catania. deadly period for migrants crossing to europe. some 11,000 people have been rescued in the last ten days but an estimated 1500 people have drown in the attempt. the compassion with which sicilians regard these migrants, with this memorial is a monument for those who don't make it. there are 15 graves of adults and two of children. the names of people in these graves will never be known but the words on them are the words of the poet laureate from nigeria, and the hope is that the rest of europe now can see a similar degree of empathy as is being shown here. at a meeting of europe's foreign ministers, a ten point plan,

that increase still not be enough to restore operations to last year's level of resourcing. there will be a european summit meeting on thursday. how many more migrants will have died by then? paul brennan, al jazeera catania, sicily. strengthening the mission in niger, to keep migrants moving from there to liberia. where they are sent on boats. getting eu nations to share responsibility for the settlement and relocation of refugees. >> today we have a new european level of awareness that this is a european issue. not of single member states. and that we need to act.

to act fast and to act united. this is not just a call from some but a response from all. >> here's dominic kane our correspondent covering that meeting in luxembourg. >> the uleader summit as it were, donald tusk has called for immediate action, a statement his presidency released to the media not long ago. it is a feeling from the meetings, all day we have had the foreign ministers and the interior ministers that's giving you the importance that the uhas placed on the meeting. how much resources will they really put into some sort of success tooror to tritan. in success of mare nostrum.

it was the cost the italian government said it could no longer bear. we understand from one source that the try tritan may perhaps be doubled, will that be enough? given the wave of migrants that we've heard just this year. we heard earlier the secretary-general, ban ki-moon twice the number crossing the mediterranean twice the number ton titanic. >> see the overcrowding on the boat the smiles on the faces of some of these people, they are the ones that actually made it. barnaby phillips, from cattleania, southern port of

sicily even as we speak 24 hours a day these migrants are trying to get out of their countries, most of them from libya and the rescue operations are never ending. >> reporter: never ending david, that's right. the italian prime minister mateo renzi spoke today of two more ships being in distress off the libyan coast. one he believed had perhaps 100 150 people on board. another had some 300 people on board. we know the italian coast guard were heading towards those ships, those boats but we haven't heard anything since. in the meantime, the aftermath from that tragic event from saturday night sunday morning is still being played out. bodies were taken to the island of malta some 20 bodies and then there are the survivors only believed to be 28 of them and they will arrive here on catania, on the dock behind me

during some stage during the night in sicily. >> barnaby, we talked about how invisible the people may be, but one specific option put forward by eu, go to the country in africa you've met these sort of people that want to get out. >> reporter: well, these kind of interventions can make some difference in some certain situations niger is an important country because it is a gateway up to libya and nigeria, the most populace country in subsaharan africa. it would be a useful route to block off. if it were only that simple, david. mateo renzi has spoken about the need to stabilize the situation in europe.

what an enormous task that would be. at the same time it would have to be done without european union troops having any presence on the ground. so that seems an almost impossible task, when the political means to ceash it out are socarry it outare so limited. as we have been following the story in the mediterranean over the years it's a story of ebb and flows. you'll block one route and migrants will find another route. three or four years ago there were a lot more migrants coming across the land border, that was omuch more important route than the libyan water route. subsequent to the downfall of moammar gadhafi this route has become much more used.

as long as you have difficulties in the subsaharan africa and the terrible tragedies human rights abuses this flow of human misery of desperation of young people looking to improve their lives in europe will continue. >> barnaby phillips, thank you a report there from sicily. is now in the news hour, we return to yemen an explosion rocked the capital air strikes targeting a scud missile base, used by houthi fighters. massive blasts flattening nearby buildings but also a saudi

border guard has been killed, two others wounded by heavy gun and mortar fire from yemen. saudi arabia sis it is stepping up security in areas after receiving threats. killing thousands of houthis the united nations estimates 750 people overall have been killed. take a look at this. footage showing the moment of the explosion in sa florida l sanaa. 46 people believed to have been killed, more than 300 wounded. residents say it's one of the worst things they've seen since the strikes began four weeks ago. >> translator: we were close by and we heard a bang and then after a moment we heard a big explosion.

>> translator: when we arrived here to help our colleagues and the people there was a big explosion and we found shells over the whole area. >> the munition hit our homes. this is what the cowards use to bombard civilians. >> let's establish contact with the political analyst in yemen's exam sanaa. hisham, we are talking to you not as an analyst but as somebody who survived that blast. you were very close and now you're sheltering with some friends where you think it is the safest place. tell us what happened when the munitions went up. >> the problem is we don't have air defense systems air raid sirens that warned us of the blast were the air strikes. was it sudden and very surprising and what we learned of it is the air wave pushing

us knocking us off. i was drinking coffee next to the window and the window exploded in my face. tried to run downstairs and the earth was shaking. the whole building was shaking and i'm almost four kilometers away from the epicenter of the explosion. you can imagine how bad it was for places near the explosion. >> you and the other people close by did you know this was a base allegedly used by the houthis and it could therefore be a possible target in the air strikes? >> well, we've known that there are some weapons stashed a depot of some sorts we did not know there were scud there. however, when people are saying there's strikes targeting something in the residential areas, it is not about the bomb unloaded from the jets, it's what about the explosion the ensuing explosion from those depots like the case today the

bomb goes large but the ensution explosion was hue humongous. a lot of people died, a lot of homes were destroyed. a not are angry at the coalition for knowing that depot while being amidst civilians. >> we have been looking at an area some buildings flock down and debris everywhere. tell us about your daily life which i imagine now is only going to get more difficult. >> yes, it is. it's actually sat. today when we tried to are rescue some people get them to hospitals, there are no cars on the streets because there's no gas. we tried as soon as possible to get people to the hospital, as soon as we got to the hospital there was no blood bank because there's no electricity for the past six days so the blood in

the blood bank went foul. we went around asking people to donate blood. the electricity in the hospital could not run because the backup generators did not have gas. it was catastrophic. the hospital was basically helpless. >> well, it sounds absolutely horrendous for you and everybody else there. thank you for getting in touch with us, that's hisham alamesi. thank you. >> thank you. >> size of the explosions caused by strikes on houthis chose that houthis shows that the hughts are in possession of houthis are in possession of scud missiles. >> including areas where ballistic missiles were being

stored. many of the launchers were destroyed. some rockets stored in caves. the size of the operation shows there must have been some scud missiles inside, everyone knows scud uses liquid fuel. it confirms there was missiles and everyone knows some, is controlled by the houthi militia. it was easy for us to start aarticulating. >> come north to aden, which has seen some of the worst fighting since the offensive began government forces have made some gains but houthis are continuing their push. this report is by zeina khodr. >> reporter: aden is one of

many battle grounds in yemen. for weeks the city has been suffering major air strikes. not only have they seized several important buildings in aden but with the help of the saudi led coalition air strikes they have managed to expand their control. >> they came and invade our territory. they humiliated us and they took our money. they came with their weapons. so many women have become widows and so many children now are or fans. >> the humanitarian situation is worsening, there is a lack of fuel and essentially like food and water. and those in aden are not the only ones suffering. wounded keep pouring into hospitals and they can no longer cope and they fear the hospital may no longer receive patients.

efforts to find a political solution has so far failed. the leader of the houthis has rejected a call for ceasefire and no sign of backing down. >> translator: the saudi regime has absolutely no right interfering in our issue. this is our problem our country our regime and we should determine our fate and we should choose our government and we as yemenis should decide our gem. >> pro-hadi forces may have regained parts of aden, but this is one of many front lines in yemen. zeina khodr, al jazeera. >> stay with us if you can. we have this coming up. accused of opening fire on civilians, massive new road which will extend china's

influence from pakistan to the arabian sea. the nhl playoffs there. south africa's zulu king condemned a wave of anti-immigrant attacks describing them as vile. supporters listen to him at a rally in durbin calling for calm and denying those allegations that he told the migrants to get out. the zulu king has been accused of fueling the unrest. he says the comment has been taken out of context. >> this war i am calling for

irrespective of which country they are from. like i said last week, if these reports of me calling for war were true then this country would be in ashes. >> very much a speech of peace and reconciliation here by the zulu king. he called for what he described as a new war a war to protect all foreign narnls, in south africa or this huge wave of xenophobic attacks. misinterpreting his statements last month which have been blamed for sparking this violence. he said that the perpetrators of this violence should be cawd and punishedcaughtand punished and brought to justice. it's an embarrassment for them to be accused and south africa

haven't learned from that mistake yet. for example the genocide in rwanda he went so far as to mention that, how south africa and africa as a continent was deeply damaged by such violence. very much a message of peace and reconciliation here and it's hoped that soon the king's speech would be doing something to quell these attacks. >> antigovernment, demonstrations dublin says a trainee policeman was seriously hurt they believe because of the fragile security situation in the country. three people died in protests earlier this month.

>> the united has united nations has report an attack, four somali s and three german nationals employees of the u.n. children's organization unicef. somali president has called it a direct acontaminate on the fiber of the country. restsveflts ofrelatives of some of the ethiopian group posted videos of the deaths of about 30 men on social media website. some being beheaded on a beach and others being shot in scrub land. the ethiopian government has

in a smawt town called quaca. the two sides have been in peace talks in cuba for the last two and a half years. we join alexander the word from the farc people is what, at the moment? >> well, david there were a lot of expectations for what they had to sake, bowt park is rebels and the government mediators. since the 11th soldiers were killed. nowee van marcus the head of the farc negotiators say they will continue with their unilateral ceasefire, sloks is then stop their siege on the groups, in the areas where the congress e-conflict continues. exactly what happens the last week?

what he's saying is if the military continues their ground operations, it will be very difficult to avoid these kinds of incidents. he alsod though, that at the are still committed to a full peace deal and they feel that essentially the problem is with the fact that the government is not accepting a full bilateral ceasefire, which is something that the governmental will not do until a full peace agreement is signed. roughly an hour later a government head of the peace gloashtors also spoke and he gave a very different version of what happened last thirst and park has an issue with the colombian people, they neat to for example what they would say the people of colombia were outraged, especially after the progress that had been made in

>> they say you have now enter italian waters. i was blessed. >> reporter: joseph had to get out of ghana made his way to libya, where people smugglers put him on a boat for a price. destination, lampedusa. >> first i was lucky. the first time they promised you joe you are moving today. i went in and they didn't take me. they said that i'm -- the boat is full, it's full so i have to go. following two days time. about one or two days time, i heard that the boat had been sank on the sea. al of those people died. >> so you had a snare owe escape. >> yes! and the people were about 1 twaif passengers, people all of them died, all of them sink including the boat.

>> the boat he did board also got into trouble and had to be rescued. joseph still remembers vividly the moment he arrived in europe. >> people were very kind to us. they were happy to receive us. so we are happy about them so they sent us to lampedusa for about four days. they check us, medication and everything. they treat us. after that they took us inside plane and we came to rome. >> but life has not been as kind as he had hoped. joseph takes odd jobs where he can. he barely can get by. >> i struggle to get money to feed myself. >> you struggle to eat? >> yes struggle to eat. in italy here, room here, the job has been limited.

day. it's a bit -- so weird to be here, and wait for these 27 guys that survived their horrible ship recommend where probably more than 700 have died. but in these very same minutes and hours there are another six rescue operation ongoing with probably more than 1500 people, that hopefully they will are brought alive to italy soon in the next hours. so what is happening in the mediterranean? is of course some of the migrants are coming to look for a better life. also for them they feel a big pressure because they escaping war. we have students from syria ethiopia fleeing the terror

aarticulates. they have no hope. we have immediately a credible search and rescue operation. >> you had one didn't you -- not you in u.n.hcr but in mare nostrum. >> it was effective in rescuing 100,000 people. there was an argument, political argument against them. somebody was saying it was a pull factor, something that would attract migrants. the numbers are wrong without a rescue operation we are region the same and probably go over their level of rifle arrival today

we have possibly 1700 and this is really appalling. rescue operation the first priority then legal alternatives for refugees to arrive in europe in a safe and regular manner. the first step against traffickers. >> the thing carlotta, we are all saying a great deal need to be done but the real problem when you have 700 500 lock down below by the people who put them there in the first place, what do you do to stop that? >> well, of course, but you know, there is no civilian solution. this sees a he very very
