>> translation: on radio they said another quake could hit, that is why we are all outside, and will spend the night here there are some that lost friend or families certainly their homes. they have a famous proverb that captures the group. they are in the mind. it's in the mind of those who win or lose. >> to combat the fear we are playing guitar. women, children and elderly are scared. we play the guitar to make them feel safe. >> in other parts, rescuers are aware that there are people alive under the rubble. they work patiently and precisely. for families looking on, it's painstaking.

every so often there's hope. there are people in the remote areas that have no help at all. only once they are released would we know how big a catastrophe would this become let's talk to the nepali minister of information and communications joining us from the nepalese capital kathmandu. let me ask you - can you give us an update on the deaths and injuries so far? >> there's information we have so far. 2,260 deaths. many are missing. we are still in the stage of rescue operations.

in many villages there are helicopters, helicopters developed in our country coming from india and other countries. a report comes from the hospitals. we have information from them. >> how difficult has it been getting information from the remote areas outside of the capital? >> yes, it has been difficult. more importantly, all the people surviving the rescue operation, government officials are busy. doctors in the districts are

busy. officers are busy. every military official are busy providing providing what they need to we know that... ..let me get a final thought from you, minister. we know that so many people have been displaced by this earthquake they have lost their homes, what is the government doing to help those people with nowhere to live and sleep? >> the prime minister came back from thailand. after he came back he had the head of the cabinet. the secretaries from the military that are involved with

the prime minister army officials, and all are coordinated we have to leave it there. americans from nepal, minister for communications thank you for updating us on the earthquake let's speak to the former indian ambassador for nepal, joining us from new delhi. you clearly know kathmandu well from your time in nepal. what are your thought on the earthquake and the terrible events of yesterday? >> well it's a major disaster that goes without saying. i'd like to focus on the difficulties that kathmandu is

in a bowl surrounded by cities. most of the city are small lanes, like rabbit warrens. most of the buildings are not at all earthquake proof. they've not been built according to modern day norms of buildings. the difficulty therefore is not relief material reaching nepal, the difficulty is they'll reach nepal, but from the airport. other points of collection to get it out to other people. women, elderly, children food, water, tents, milk and so on. that's a major problem after the first priority which is to save lives, many who are still maybe alive under the rubble and the debris. that is the difficult situation that you are facing. you point out some of the big challenges as you say facing the

nepalese authorities. india says it will play sa crucial role in getting help to nepal. help us through what you are hearing that india is prepared to give, and how soon are they getting that aid to the nepalese. >> well on both counts as far as india's aid is concerned, it's a given. apart from the people of nepal themselves and the government of nepal, most of the relief and counter crisis has to come from india. there's 1900km of an open border. nepal is there on the north of india. and a number of other countries offered aid and are providing fund and material. the relief effort tackling the crisis has to be an effort and the effort started on the indian

side immediately after the earthquake hit. within hours it was on its way to evacuate to deliver supplies. within 24 hours tonnes and tonnes of supplies reached nepal, in despite of difficulties and problems with the airport. it has to be a joint effort between the indian army air force, agencies and people of nepal a final thought. you mentioned the issue of the airport in kathmandu. we know it's tiny. there's a danger it will be overwhelmed with the volume of aid and spies coming in. >> you pre-empted me. i was going mention that having experience not of dealing directly with the disaster but present in areas around the world. it is going to happen there's no stopping it. the airport, the small airport

is saturated taking it simply to get it out of the airport, and a cautionary word. there'll be n gos and others who will be, with all good will and efficiency flying with stuff and insist on it coming out under control. the best thing for them to do is get the material in get it in and back off former indian ambassador mukherjee, thank you for sharing your thoughts let's talk to the spokesman for the international red cross, joining us from kuala lumpur. talks us through what your team is doing on the ground and challenges they are facing. >> some of the main challenges right now are the new aftershock

of 6.7 scale creating additional acknowledges -- damages. the second is medical supplies. and a lot of the treatment is taking place. obtaining the supplies is critical. a third is around the shelter. a lot of people are sleeping outside. people are scared to go back to their house. i saw the news that the government assigned 16 shelter areas. we'd like to support setting up the areas. >> in situations like this it's give to get information because phone lines are down. how difficult has it been keeping in touch with the teams on the ground?

>> the kathmandu has been relatively fine because the landlines are working. the major challenges is to the outlining areas. they are difficult. there's more difficulty in kathmandu. they leave the cities down and the people are not able to charge the phones much the main difficulty is with the district. there's some distribute headquarters that have been flattened. 80% damned, 50% and 30%. it's difficult to get the detailed information on the areas. >> you outlined priority yes in terms of what the red cross team is doing. in terms of aid and supplies, how much has it got in and what's your first-term priority in getting the aid in? >> the one good thing is in the last 10 years we have been

working on the preparedness. we have a reason specifically around the its, we are mobilizing those. in all 17 locations around the country. we are beginning to mobilized planes from kuala lumpur. there's a warehouse, and there's a plain - the -- there was a government plane leaving from delhi this morning, and mobilizing some of the basic health care hospitals, and the deployment hops in the next few days much the main thing is receiving the capacity. they would start to bring them in. for a few days, we have them in country. >> spokesman for the international federation of red cross and red crescent. thank you for your time. now to the nepalese capital and talk to our correspondent. we are hearing reports of strong

aftershocks, talk us through what happened. it was scary, it felt like the ground was made of liquid. there was shakeingeshaking. the tremor went on for a while. it felt true at that moment. >> what about the ongoing search and rescue operation. how have the emergency services been coping with the challenge there? >> from what i have seen i have seen a lot of local volunteer groups that went out at the first response, along with the police and nepal army people. today we walked around the areas

hit, and it seems like the recovery and rescue effort moved to other areas. we didn't see much of what is going on. much of the rescue operations going on in kathmandu. what we did see was a lot of people who were angry that the government - at the government for being left in the lurch. a lot of people taking shelter without food or water or tents. >> are you getting a sense sabine about what is happening in the hospitals. there were reports that they were overwhelmed with the dead with injured. >> yes. just a few - we have been here for around 15 minutes. there has been a few ambulances going around. a few hearses as well. as a hospital area earlier,

which is completely full we talk to a patient earlier who said they don't want to stay in the hospitals. the aftershocks are strong they'd rather be away from the hospitals, they are afraid they'd come down. hospitals are barely coping. they are managing. >> thank awe sabina shresta more to come. thousands march to protest the death of a black man in police custody in the city of baltimore. police fire tear gas on the president in burundi. and in sport. a german league title, and who could win. that story later in the programme.

they need it, justice needs to be served. >> there's no database of death, but federal bureau of investigation analysis suggests that baltimore police killed more than 120 people over the past 20 years. the press commissioner promised reforms and said in the last three years he fired more than 50 officers for wrongdoing and said freddie gray's death shows how many problems exist in the baltimore police department and why they'll remain on the streets. >> gray will be buried on monday. the calls for justice likely will not be in a city where everyone seems to be losing patience thousands of gautans have taken to the streets to demand the resignation of the president and vice-president. it follows a sing leading to the arrest of the head of the tax

authority. david mercer reports. >> reporter: thousands of guatemalans descend on the nation's capital. organizers called for a peaceful protest without alcohol or banners. people don't want anything to mar the protests. >> we had enough of corruption you need to leave office and return the money you have stolen. effigies she is anger and frustration. a multi-million corruption scandal led to this. the bigsest demonstration no guatemalaa for years. the country is in the middle of a political crisis. >> police arrested the head of the tax authority for tax fraud. investigators also issued an arrest warrant for vice

what is coming from the sky is important for rescue and recovery. let's look at the evidence. in the last 24 hours is what looks like a circulation. there's a few thunder storms in the list. if it's heading in that direction, which assist. you are going to the black edge of it. although in the tibetan plateau, storms are brewing. they'll be smaller. yes, they'll be around. the trend is for them to be less vicious. not good but forecast wise this is the rest of today and as the son comes up. it's east of kathmandu. that's the trend. we are going in this direction, taking the storms away. that is a small amount of good news. the bigger picture confirms that and the line taking you down to the showers recently

>> to facilitate the medical care and medivac people out of there will be extremely difficult. especially considering the weather conditions experienced at the moment. bad weather there. helicopters can't fly in and out of base camps. the situation at the base camp is desperate. late april is climbing season. the avalanche couldn't have hit everest at a busier time. let's talk to a climber, joining us on the phone, from near the everest base camp. talk us through what ut felt during the earthquake and during the aftershocks today. >> for me, i've been 50 years coming here and almost every year it was a big shock.

we are in shock. the first time that we leave the experience like this. we literally have come through everything. >> are you there at the moment? we are here at the basecamp 5,700 meters high. we have been here for four days. now everything stands still, no. it's strained in the country here. we don't know what to do. we have to wait for several days and we can start to decide something. at the moment the situation is complicated. >> that is the danger. even though you are on a separate mountain to everest you could be facing risks by going up the mountain.

>> yes. the situation is difficult. it is the same. here at everest, the aim. maybe a little less. but, you know it is very dangerous. we have to wait to see what is going on whether they are trying to save the group. i think we have to wait to decide what to do. >> i mean one of the appearance on everest is that we know over 100 climbers are stuck between camps one and two above the base camp. what do you think is going through their minds. they can't go up or come down. >> that's really the situation. it's really hard for them. they are stuck there, and really

that's the situation. >> a climber on macaloo. thank you for sharing your thoughts. please be safe countries are meeting in malaysia to promote ideas around the block of 10 nations. we have seen one in action in kuala lumpur. it's made in malaysia and all you need is a smartphone. my taxi is an app taking almasha and asian countries by storm. it's the bright judged of two harvard graduates after hearing horror stories. >> they had a problem - safety affordability. it was common across the six countries that we work in.

when we created a solution to solve the problem, it took off. >> every day taxi drivers sign up across the region. the app has been downloaded on 4 million mobile phones. several book engs are made every -- bookings are made every second and more than 5,000 drivers have registered. this driver joined a year ago. >> most customers are happy. they only have to call and i will be there for them. >> reporter: they feel safe and secure? >> yes, of course. >> reporter: customers feel the same way. >> it is a safer manner. asian recognises that small businesses need help.

>> in many cases it underlines the general points that people make. huge markets, a growing market population. you can tick each of the points against what my taxi is doing and has done and will do. >> but the story of the small business enterprise does not end here. my taxi is a prime example of what can be achieved in the market. as well as a product that has potential beyond the region people in kazakhstan are photoing in a presidential election. the president expects to win and extend his 26 year rule. the critics of the long-standing leader stay developments forced him to call an early vote. more from robin forrester walker. talk us through why the election

was called early. it was supposed to be next year, wasn't it. >> yes, we think that this went ahead for a number of factors. the economy has not been doing too well. oil is down. the russian rouble having a marked effect on the neighbouring economies like kazakhstan. run fired product flooding the market making it difficult for the manufacturers for kazakh manufacturers to compete. i think as you look at this a lot of kazakh people look at it there's a number of things lining up, and reforms that were accepted in terms of the economy and the political situation. the president wants to potentially move the country towards something resembling a parliamentary democracy. we'll see if that will happen. if you look a little closer you

might notice that kazakhstan has a large border and a lot of russians here in kazakhstan. when the russian - pro-russian rebel offensive took place in ukraine, the kazakhs were worried about this and pride themselves on having a comfortable relationship between the different communities or ethnic groups. i think the reason of the president went ahead and had the election was to calm of the nerves not just within the country, but to foreign investors, and to send a message to other countries, that we are in charge and have everything under control. they are partners, at the same time wary of moscow's intentions. >> just a final word. are people thinking it's a

foregone conclusion. >> i think nobody would such an outcome other than an emphatic victory. if there was a free press and open climate in which you could talk and criticize the president. which there isn't. he's going to win because the alternative outcomes are not good to think about. people are happy with how he managed to handle things. kazakhstan comparatively speaking, to other countries is doing well. >> thank you now, a group of russian bikers are on their way to germany, despite a warning from poland that they will not be allowed to cross their border. warsaw continues the plan to be provocative. >> rory challands reports

the leader of the pack is on a u.s. sanctions list. he showed me a favourite bike and articulated his believe in an instruct difficult force. >> there's a new technology that can destroy as much as a nuclear weapon, it's called controlled chaos. russia can be the leader in an important sphere, the spiritual sphere. this is the great meaning of

russia russia is not the foundation. the salvation will come from russia. >> orthodoxy, patriot itch. it's easy to see why the nightwolves like vladimir putin, and why vladimir putin likes the night wolves. in fact he has ridden with him a number of times. others find it worrying. >> this is part of a general campaign to pitch the conservative majority. consolidate a conservative majority and pit it against anyone not pledging allegiance to the state 20 nightwoving are planning to advance through eastern europe to berlin will not be allowed through. warsaw views russia as hostile. and remembers 44 years of

communist rule. the wolves say if they are stopped at the polish boarder, they'll find a way of getting in, they are not hinting at how, but a suggestion that they may split up and get in individually through different border posts. it's a measure of current tensions that an e.u. country is nervous about and a measure of modern russia that a leather-clad bikie gang is one of the government's staunchest an ally. still ahead all the sport and what is next for a boxing champ after his latest win. stay with us.

sensitive region are protected. >> reporter: overshadowing the agenda and decision making by consensus, concerns about member state involvement in ukraine, and military exercises in the arctic casting a shadow over the american leadership of the arctic council. >> how well will the americans take the actions against the russian activity in the ukraine and isolate it from interfering with the arctic council. make they can figure out a way of doing it. i'm not sure how you do it. >> there were convicting claims to the seabed. denmark, greenland canada and russia looking behind a 200 mile nautical limb some to the north -- limit some to the north poll with the vast wealth that lays within. as the northern sea ice melts

in 12 fixtures. jose mourinho has never been beaten. >> for me it's not my rival. it's the management in the city where i work and live. same objectives that we have in the competitions that we play. because of that there's a bit of rivalry. it's not a confrontation of two clubs, but two teams. i'm not a great believer history. it goes down to the fact that performance on the day decides a game. and the result - let's focus on that. >> in serbia, the start of the
