ton where the penalty phase of the boston marathon bombing trial is now underway. >> announcer: this is al jazeera. ♪ hello, welcome to the al jazeera news hour. i'm live from our headquarters in doha. our top stories. the u.n. says the death of over 800 migrants is the worst-ever incident in the mediterranean, and the italian coast guard was in action again today. saudi arabia orders the national guard to counter the threat along its border with yemen. also this hour egypt's

former president gets 20 years in jail. hello, i will have all of your sport, including the build up to both of tuesday's champions league quarter finals where in barcelona, the four time winners take on paris. ♪ the united nations has described sunday's tragedigydy in which over 800 people died as the deadliest ever reported in the mediterranean. another boat had to be rescued today by the italian coast guard. let's get the latest from barnaby phillips who is in the italian port city of catania in sicily. tell us about this latest rescue. >> reporter: thank you. the latest rescue was to the southeast of where we are in

sicily, off of the italian mainland. what is happening is what many people had feared had predicted. in the mediterranean, the weather is getting better the seas are getting calmer and so the pace of migration is speeding up. i have got this report on all of today's latest developments. and still they keep on coming no matter how dangerous the journey. 446 people their wooden boat leaking. all they can do is appeal for help in the seas. they were lucky an italian fishing boat found them just in time. in sicily meanwhile, the authorities are helping the new frightened men who survived the sinking of an overcrowded boat off of the libyan coast in the early hours of sunday morning. the initial stories of the scale

of that disaster have turned out to be horribly accurate. >> we have now interviewed most of the survivors of the boat tragedy in the mediterranean. according to them the boat departed from tripoli on saturday morning. it had some 850 people on board. many were children. among those on board were some 350 eritreans, as well as people from syria, somali sierra leone, ivory coast and ethiopia. >> reporter: prosecutors say this man was the captain of the boat. he has been taken into custody, charged with reckless homicide and causing a shipwreck. another suspected member of the crew has also been arrested. the man on the right from libya, accused of assisting illegal immigration. and more details are emerging as to how so many people died.

>> translator: migrants were crushed inside the fishing boat. it was at least 23 meters long a few hundred migrants were forced into the hull at the lowest level and they were locked and prevented from coming out. another several hundred were closed into the second level while on top under a cover, there were another hundred migrants. >> reporter: here in sicily and across europe there are lots of sympathy for the victims of this disaster and widespread outrage at the activitiesover the smuggling gangs. but european governments have disagreed for years on way to prevent these disasters at sea and on ways to prevent more people from risking the pair louse journey across the mediterranean. and the problem goes far beyond italian waters. further west off of the coast of spain, 44 africans rescued by coast guards that come from more rocco on a wooden boat.

oopts some too exhausted to walk ashore some so young they may not remember how they arrived here to start a new life in a new continent. so this is the context in which thursday's summit goes ahead, and we expect european leaders to endorse a plan which ministers drew up yesterday to widen the scope of operation triton out of the mediterranean sea to give it more power to destroy smuggler's boats, to cover a bigger geographical area. now that will save lives and will be welcome, and i think there's an impetus of i suppose outrage, horror and shame amongst the governments at the moment but there is an awareness that there are no easy solutions to this problem, and they come with high political

risks. >> barnaby thank you very much indeed. the italian government says 90% of the people they rescue depart from libya. europe's security agencies say there could be up to a million people waiting to leave. many are syrians fleeing civil war who make their way to istanbul and then the sudanese capitol. eritreans and somalis travel the same route from the horn of africa. there's a western route too. migrants who would have found work in libya, now find themselves in the middle of a civil war with little option but to travel further on and into europe. laura is the head of developmental studies at the

university of london she says the situation in libya lends itself to people smuggling. >> libya has a very large coastline. it is accessible particularly to the island of lampedusa, it is also a place where there is in the absence of a strong and effective state, there has -- there's -- enabled kind of an economy of people trafficking and smuggling across the mediterranean. so they are taking advantage of that weak state scenario to set up a very lucrative business at moving people across the sea. >> in other world news saudi arabia has ordered the national guard to reinforce its border with yemen. the national guard is regarded as the country's best-equipped military force. until now it had not been involved in the campaign in yemen. let's speak to mohamed vall now.

we're now in the 27th day of the saaddy-lead campaign in yemen and quit significant that they are ordering the national goord to boost security at the border there. >> reporter: yes it's a significant move considering that saudi arabia has an interesting -- interestingly large army. we don't have the official figures. they never give official figures, but it is estimated between 2,000 and 3,000 soldiers. but the national guard is another army that has its own ministry. and it's estimate up to 100,000. however, these troops of the national guard are known to be the elite of the saudi defense forces and to deploy them now means that saudi arabia feels that danger is approaching its borders, because it doesn't look like this is part of a decision to launch a ground invasion in

yemen. however, we have been hearing about clashes, intensifying along the border particularly in the early in the night. eyewitnesss talked about continuous bombardment there. and there have been recent reports communicated by the saudis that they have seen movements of houthis going to the border of saudi arabia. so this means there are more pressure on the saudis from the yemeni side particularly on the part of the houthis and saleh loyalists right across the border. >> thank you very much. the united nations says it needs $30 million in aid for palestinians stuck in a syrian refugee camp. the camp is now mainly controlled by isil. the humanitarian situation there has been distribed as desperate. yarmouk was set up in 1957 for

palestinian refugees. a court in cairo has sentenced mohammed morsi to 20 years in prison. he was egypt's first democratically elected president. tuesday's verdict is a first morsi has received since his ousting. he still faces several trials. >> mohammed morsi. >> reporter: mohammed morsi narrowly escaped the death penalty. he has been sentenced for what the prosecution says was his role in the arrest and torture of protesters at the presidential palace in 2012. three protesters were killed. he can still appeal this conviction but he also faces severalor charges including an attempt at a prison break in 2011 where some prison officers were killed a verdict on this is expected next month. spying he is accused of conspiring to commit terrorist

acts in egypt with hamas. leaking state secrets and endanger g egypt's national security. fraud in connection with the muslim brotherhood economic and social program. he is also charged with insulting the judiciary. muslim brotherhood leader along with several other defendants were also sentenced to 20 years. it was a long road to egyptian democracy. in 2011, president mubarak was kicked out of office during a revolution against his rule. then in a divisive election morsi became the first democratically elected president. but he angered many egyptians by issuing on order that presented any court from overturning his decisions. that lead to violence on the streets with opponents denouncing him as a dictator and a new pharaoh. he sacked the head of the armed

forces escalating a power struggle between the military and the president. >> i guess a decision has been taken by the military before running the elections, the first democratic election fair elections, that at a certain point the military will intervene and -- and take over. >> reporter: on june 30th, 2013 millions of people rallied across egypt calling for his resignation. three days later, the man who morsi appointed as the defense minister lead a coup that removed him from power. although the defendants this first trial were acquitted of attempt to murder any sentence against morsi is seen as a big blow to the muslim brotherhood and its supporters. joining us now for more on this verdict is the associate professor of islamic culture at qatar university. thank you for coming into the

studio. first of your reaction to this first verdict that morsi has received, the first verdict but still many more cases. >> yeah first of all thank you for having me again on the show. my own -- my first reaction for this it is a totally politically motivated case. we have been over a year and a half now since the coup. what -- what is happening is that if you want to go back in the event of the what happened today -- in today's case when some protesters, eight were supporters of morsi. and they were killed by mistake. by the people who wanted to kill the supporters of morsi, and he was taken to court for -- but anyway the court said that he was not in charge of killing, and he was sentenced for 25

years, 20 years and then 5 years in custody or something like that. for something to initiate people to act for him or defend him. >> right. because it's quite surprising i think, the fact that he was sentenced to 20 years in prison and not the death penalty, and one of the charges was killing protesters, which is not actually chargeful. >> exactly. i mean barack he in his time during the revolution there was between 800 and a thousand people that were killed. and he was acquitted and set free. so it was going to be a crazy thing for them to attempt to charge morsi for killing his own supporters. second thing i think we're turning morsi to become a hero. he is going to be now a hero -- >> how so?

>> he is going to be mandela of egypt. >> why do you say that? >> because now more people are thinking he is steadfast in what he was fighting against this state. the state had been orchestrating this through the last couple of years. they have been running the country for the last 60 years. they had mow bar rack as a puppet. now the state came into existence through the military. so now he is the one who is standing against them. >> there is still a high chance that he will be sentenced to death, because he is facing other charges like the tryson charge. >> exactly. and sisi when he was -- when he was the defense minister and before that when he was in charge of intelligence, he was in charge of delegating hamas.

so all of those cases are political. >> you say political. and it's not going to go away. but one egyptian i was speaking to earlier says all of these trials, people in egypt are simply fed up with them. people want to move on. >> exactly. >> it has been years since the revolution, and people just want to live. and these trials -- there is a fatigue with the justice system in egypt today. >> absolutely. i mean i understand the frustration of the egyptian people. they have been now since the ousting of mubarak they have been in chaos. the only time they felt some hope was the time when they had a democratic process, when they felt the honor of coming and electing the person they want whether morsi or somebody else when they had the power to elect. now in the state as you said they are fed up and they want to get rid of this. but in both scenarios even if they were to sentence morsi to

death or put him in prison he is going to be a hero. he is going to be the new mandela of egypt. >> i'm sure you know a lot of people in egypt will disagree with that point. >> absolutely. >> thank you for speaking with us. still ahead on this al jazeera news hour. homeward bound we meet the foreign workers returning to zimbabwe because they are scared to stay in south africa. plus japan's train breaks the world speed record and in sport the golden state warriors take a big step towards the next round of the nba playoffs. we'll tell you why later this news hour. ♪ but first the kenyan government is offering a ten-day amnesty for new al-shabab fighters to hand themselves in. the group is thought to be

thickets outside of the town. these men say they are trying to shun the image of their town being a route for al-shabab. they have arrested some al-shabab members. this is a kenyan national and al-shabab member. >> translator: i was arrested while buying food. i was in charge of logistics. i all thes used to conduct roll calls for the fighters. i was recruited a year ago by a relative. once in i had no way of backing out as anyone who tried to escape was killed. >> reporter: mohammed used to operate in the training camp 60 kilometers from a port city. the camp is under the command of this man. the man kenya says masterminded the recent attack in which al-shabab gunmen killed 148 people. >> translator: it's a huge camp. there are about 300 fighters.

almost all of the activities of the camp are geared towards carrying out attacks in kenya. >> reporter: we also met two youth arrested while on their way to join al-shabab. they are from the central province. >> translator: we were heading to the camp when we were arrested. we were given map by a recruiter and the names of the cities we were to pass through. we decided to go on froot once we entered somalia. >> reporter: for now the kenyan trained and equipped troops celebrate their modest gains. they say they will need more support effectively secure the border and hopefully live up to kenya's dream of getting a buffer zone to shield its territory from lawless somalia. and kenya's government also seems to have abandoned a plan

to repatriate 500,000 somalian refugees in three months. >> reporter: this is definitely good news for somali refugees who are very worried about what relocation might mean for them. the united nations and other nation as raised concerns that the deadline to move about 500,000 somali refugees back to their country was not practical at all. and it was agreed that the three parties form a commission to strategize on continued voluntary repatriation. kenya's foreign ministers said they would continue to talk with key players to ensure that the refugees are comfortable once they are back home. the agencies feel there are only about 2,000 refugees who have

voluntarily gone back to somalia. security is a major concern in kenya, and the government has many times said that the refugee camp in the north is a recruitment ground for al-shabab as has the groups sympathizers. a lot of kenyans are saying that besides that the government must also be vigilant on policing radicalization of kenyans and the corruption within the police force. south africa's defense minister is sending troops to johannesberg after a wave of anti-immigrant attacks. two zimbabweans were shot on monday. hundreds of foreigners have been evacuated from their homes because of the unrest. these attacks have prompted hundreds of zimbabwes living in south africa to return home. harrah has met some of the families who fled on the

about starting over. some of those who left zimbabwe blame policies of the president's ruling party for damaging the economy. this person left at the height of the economic crisis in 2008 with nothing. he says he has returned with nothing. >> i'm worried [ inaudible ] i don't know what i'm going to do there. >> reporter: [ inaudible ]? >> [ inaudible ]. zimbabwe [ inaudible ]. >> reporter: government officials and aid agencies are trying to help. >> bring every device possible to assist these guys. in which case i'm talking about many. i'm talking about food items. i'm talking about blankets. anything that can assist these guys. there is a lot of emotion in them. and physically they are so traumatized, there is also a need for counseling services. >> reporter: some say they want nothing to do with south africa.

>> no i don't want to go back. >> reporter: others say if things get too difficult here they will have to cross the border into south africa again, as soon as it's safe to do so. in guinea -- soldiers have taken control of the capitol after confrontation with protesters. there have been two weeks of anti-government demonstrations over a disputed election timetable. now the killing of a group of ethiopians by isil in libya has prompted protests by hundreds of people in ethiopia's capitol. the demonstration happened at the start of three days of national mourning for the victims when members of parliament were meeting to talk about the crisis. >> reporter: there are few words to express this kind of pain. this man was one of the dozens of ethiopian christians killed

by isil in libya. his friends and family gathered on monday to mourn his death, but it hasn't fully sunk in yet. >> translator: i have never seen such a barbaric act. i am shocked. it is a ruthless act. i can't think of him being slaughtered. how can such a horrible act happen to human kind? how? why? >> reporter: a video was posted online on sunday which appears to show isil fighters in libya beheading and shooting at least 30 ethiopians. al jazeera will not show that video, but some of the family has seen it. his older brother first heard about what happened on facebook. >> >> translator: we are very sad. all of these people are ethiopians who came to give their condolences. they all came here after they saw the post on facebook about this barbaric act. when a human being a slaughtered like a sheep it's horrific.

>> reporter: he was with his close friend and neighbor. they called their families regular lived as they traveled to libya together. they had hoped to get on a boat to europe and start a new life. their friends say there are no good job opportunities in ethiopia. members of parliament met on tuesday to talk about the crisis security representatives are considering what if anything can be done in response to the killings. the foreign minister has urged other ethiopians to get in touch with their embassy. >> translator: the government is ready to bring [ inaudible ] you back home. talk to the embassy or call the number of the media announcement and register to return. the government will cover all costs and will get you back. >> reporter: but for the families of these men, there's little that can be done to ease the suffering. two young men who had hoped for so much more. still ahead on the news

the world health organization says 944 people have been killed in yemen over the past month. and court in cairo has sentenced former egyptian president morsi to 20 years in prison. the verdict is the first morsi has received since his ousting. he still faces several trials. now a 93 year old man, known as the accountant of auschwitz is on trial for his involvement in the murder of 300,000 holocaust victims. he admits to serving as a guard in the death camp. he faces a 15-year sentence if found guilty. there are currently 11 pending investigations against former guards. joining us for more on this is an associate professor of history and director of the studies at the university of albany. thank you so much for joining us

via skype from new york. this trial is unlike many we have seen over the years, because he didn't actually kill anyone and has denied his guilt. >> what he is being accused of is being the accomplice to the murder of some 300,000 people while he served as an ss officer our it with in 1944. that was a time when large numbers of hungarian jews were sent to auschwitz. >> at the start of the trial today he asked for forgiveness. do you think there is still a point in pursuing these cases against men like him, who are their late -- you know very old -- i mean 93 years old. and he could face a 15-year prison sentence. is there a point -- do you think

it makes sense to go on with these trials? >> i don't think there should be a statute of limitation on mass murder or being an accomplice to mass murder. i think it's very important for germany to prosecute these crimes. i don't think we should allow people to get off scot-free just because they have managed to grow old. >> in the past the german justice system has been content to charge those only directly involved in the killings. do you think too many people were left off as a result of this? how do you think the german justice system has performed on these cases. >> it has been a disgrace. germany insisted on the right to try these criminals on their own. but according to laws in the german constitution people

couldn't be tried for crimes -- for acts that were legal at the time they were committed. so during the nazi prison most of what happened at places like auschwitz were legal under german law. so the trials were often for people who went above and beyond what was legal. so you had crimes against the people who were you know, known to be vicious torturers who murdered out of the normal extermination processes, so very few people were tried for crimes and most people like this figure were let off scot-free and didn't have account for the crimes they committed. >> are 11 investigations still pending. do you think we'll see any more of these trials or is this likely to be one of the last ones? >> it certainly is going to be one of the last ones. it's very possible there could

be other trials still. and i think it's necessary in terms of -- for the idea of justice for the victims whom -- many of whom are still with us. we saw many many survivors who are still here and they deserve justice, and the world deserves justice for these acts that were committed. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. the latest battle in a 30-year legal fight against chevron oil took place in a new york court on monday. $9.5 billion and the cleanup of a ecuadorian rain forest hangs in the balance. but it was the lawyer who challenged chevron who was the subject of the court proceedings. >> reporter: he has been found liable in new york for bribing a judge and ghost writing a court decision in ecuador. but he denies he did any of that in trying to hold chevron accountable for rain forest

contamination. >> they go after anyone who is effective at holding them accountable for their environmental crimes and fraud in ecuador. and that's why they are going after me. they made a decision to go after the lawyers. it's completely unethical, inappropriate, and i don't think it is going to work. >> reporter: at issue is billions of gallons of toxic waste dumped in ecuador by texaco which has since by bought by chevron. 30,000 villagers tried to tried to sue the company in new york in the 1990s. does chevron have any intention on making good on that $9.5 billion judgment. >> very good. nice try. >> reporter: their lawyers in court to argue against the

appeal wouldn't answer questions on camera. the plaintiffs have also taken legal action in canada and brazil in an attempt to get chevron to pay the $9.5 billion ordered by the ecuadorian court. what happens here in new york however, could hurt those efforts. if he loses, experts say the case will have a chilling effect on other class action lawsuits. >> what we fear is that chevron's play book which is to throw enormous resources against the attorneys and the plaintiffs and their allies in the case will become the model for other corporations facing similar lawsuits in the future. environmental groups continue to stand by the lawyer. >> he didn't commit any frud fraud. he stood by his clients despite the fact that chevron is trying to destroy him. >> reporter: kristen saloomey

time. after leaving at the end of the 2014 world cup, he returned to the job only to leave again after nigeria failed to qualify for the 2015 cup of nations. this year he signed a two-year deal. tennis normally at this time of year the beginning of the clay season nadal really comes into his own, but the spaniard is under more pressure than usual after a rare defeat. this week he's at the venue he calls home. but the number one 1 goes to the player from japan, nadal admitting he has to up his game to challenge djokovic next month. >> he had an impeccable year in 2011 as well as this one in 2015 i have to congratulate him. he is world number one. this year i have to do things right. get back to a very high level to

face him on the courts. he is through to the third round of the barcelona open. he beat the russian in straight sets. finished 6-3 6-4. off to the nba now, the golden state warriors are beaten the new orleans pelicans to take a 2-0 lead in their best of 7, first round playoff series despite the beth efforts of anthony davis. his 26 points helping the pelicans go into the final court level with the warriors but that's as good as it got, because klay thompson then made a difference and bagged 26 points of his own. golden state going on to win 97-87. >> they are a handful, we know that. between davis and their three-point shooters and the penetration from -- from evans, you have got to cover a lot of floor, and -- and try to contain

davis with other people because he's too good to go one on one, so it's a lot to ask, but we feel like that's the identity of our team is our defense and our versatility. there's also an eastern conference playoff tie on monday. the chicago bulls have a 2-0 lead over the milwaukee bucs in their series. and jimmy butler helping them to a win. in the nhl the winnipeg jets played their first playoff game in nearly 19 years. the jets were rel indicated back to winnipeg in 2011. they last playoff game was in 1996. but the ducks recorded a 5-4 win. the ducks now lead the best of seven series at 3-0. crucial game 4 takes place on wednesday. security at the boston marathon was understandably high after the bomb attacks on the race two years ago that killed
