reflecting on racial taunts and white house cyber defenses accessed and the president's private emails a.b.c.ed. -- accessed the grim accounting continues in nepal tonight. the official death toll has climbed above 2500. many expect the figure to get higher as rescuers make it to some of the more remote areas. the search for victims is slowed by ominous signs of more devastation yet to come. there has been several powerful aftershocks, and experts say they can trigger more catastrophic land slides and avalanches. in kathmandu, they are trying to stay as safe as possible by staying out doors. hospitals are full buildings

are in danger of collapsing. people are living in tends on city squares. on an avalanche 18 have been killed. helicopters have been called in to rescue survivors. much of nepal looks like a war zone. that's where andrew simmonds fired the report. >> reporter: gradually the mournful realisation grows, an earthquake pulverized nepal, more devastating than an act of war or terror attack. natural forces did this. no one knows when the death count will stop. the searching goes on with bare hands. people are still being brought out alive. as this goes on, there's the uncertainty, the fear and panic of the aftershocks. most people are unwilling to risk going back into their

homes. it's the tourist season here, and their numbers figure in the death toll. those that survived are still recounting their experiences. >> translation: we ran into the hotel courtyard to avoid being crushed. when we came back to the square, we saw that everything was damaged. we started helping people, moving bodies out of the debris. yesterday evening we slept here. we were afraid of aftershocks. rescue teams work around the clock. some getting treatment in the open. >> we come here, there's a hospital, but it's unsafe. we have come here for the rounds. >> reporter: hospitals are only just managing to cope. fresh medical supplies are reaching them, demand is intense. supplies of drinking water are low. the situation is critical in all of kathmandu's hospitals. in this one it's full to

overflowing. these people have been waiting for hours for treatment. they carry on waiting and the casualties keep coming in. no one will give up on the search for life among the ruins. nepal, with the ancient history, it's people renowned for their bravery in battle have an almighty fight on their hands - now against nature and its cruelty gary shea is save the children's emergency response director. he was the country director for nepal, and lived there for eight years. thank you for being with us. what are you hearing from your colleague on the ground? >> we are hearing that the situation in kathmandu is grim. people are living outside. the shelter, homes have been destroyed. there's lots of uncertainty about the homes or when

temporary shelter is set up for people. critical needs, if there's separated children whose parents may have been lost during the earthquake. >> clean water was a concern even before this. >> clean water has been a concern in nepal it's increasing now as we need to provide water for the people affected. it's more of a concern as we get close to the monsoon season, which is 6-8 weeks away. >> 6-8 weeks and it will get worse. does the government have the capacity to handle this? >> i think few governments have the capacity to handle this, as we a seen in the u.s. in the past. the government will need assistance from the international community. >> will the assistance be able to get where it needs to go? >> it will be able to get to the

kathmandu valley. the big question is what is the situation in the outlying district. in nepal it's a population of 330 million people. 1.5-2 million live in the kathmandu valley. the people will get attention in the early days. not everywhere gets the attention they need. roads are open. it's the rural areas where you have many communities that you have to walk to. we have not had the full reports much they don't live in as congested a situation as people that live in kathmandu, the houses are simply mud brick homes. if they are destroyed rebuilding them before the monsoon, it will be a challenge for the community. >> is there a hope for the remote areas, in the sense that they are fairly self-sufficient. can they take care of themselves in the meantime? >> i think in the short run, yes. if people were injured in the homes, getting them the critical care they need, if they have lost their crops, and, again, we

are in a race against the mitchell johnson. if houses were destroyed, temporary shelter that people may have with the plastic sheeting and wooden polls, that may be good enough for the next six weeks. to relocate people in the kathmandu valley it requires space. it's a congested city. issues like child protection food and newtition will be addressed as roads are open and supplies come in. >> a race against time. >> kevin corriveau is here now with the weather. how the weather is affecting the rescue efforts. >> that's right, we are looking at thunderstorm in the air. what that does is it makes the ground more stable because we are talking about slippage and the after shocks with the avalanche across the region. overnight temperatures down to 56. a lot of people are outside for this kind of - for this

situation. i want to take you into nepal, and show you the geographics of the country, nestled against the himalayas. there's a lot of up slopes we see the showers and the thunder storms across the region. over the last few days this is the main earthquake here just to the west and north-west of kathmandu. as well as the aftershocks seen across the region two aftershocks have been above 6.6 magnitude, one up here near the border of china, and where we see the main epicentre of the storm. if you look at the radar, a lot of indian situation is dry. up here, that's where we have the uplifting and showers. that's what we are expecting to see. monday tuesday, wednesday, thursday, we look at rain showers and storms. textures down to the mid -- temperatures down to the mid

50s, day time temperatures are down. as our guest assess when it comes to -- guest says when it comes to the monsoon situation, that's when things begin to rise. >> rain in the short term. >> yes. >> across iraq a series of deadly car bombings police say 22 are dead and dozens wounded. an army checkpoint among the bombings today, an oil refinery and a mosque in the capital city of bag cad. -- baghdad. i.s.i.l. carried out three suicide bombages at a border -- bombings at a border crossing with jordan syria's government launched attacks from the air hitting a town of darkush. 13 died, after a dozen air strikes by forces yesterday in another city.

up buying guns and chemicals. it reignited the debate over gun laws. >> i hope that over the next several days weeks, months we can reflect on how we can do something about the senseless violence that mars this country in baltimore, the funeral for freddie gray, a man that died of a spinal injury will be held tomorrow. a wake was held today. a steady stream of mourners passed by a white coffin. a pillow was printed with his picture. baltimore's mayor called for peace during the investigation into gray's death. >> we need to support peaceful demonstration, and continue to enforce in our communities that violence and looting will not be

tolerated. together we can be one baltimore and seek answers as we seek justice, and as we seek peace. >> we have the latest from outside the funeral home. >> it's a little more lively in the last fewer hours. people have come out. they have signs in their hands urging passing drivers to honk their horns in memory of freddie gray. we talked to a lot of people. there's a lot of disquiet about the emerging narrative about the protest we have seen. yesterday, saturday, thousands walked through the streets, we were there, it was mainly peaceful. the baltimore police chief said as much. an emerging narrative was propagated that there was mass rioting. that was not true. we talked to a lot of people who say it's unfortunate that the narrative has taken hold. it's a multi racial

neighbourhood, as with the demonstrations yesterday, we have seen people from all classes and ages saying there's something wrong with baltimore policing. tomorrow is freddie gray's funeral. we expect the results of a police investigation to be released to local authorities next friday. it's a mystery as to how freddie gray subpoenaed three cracked vertebrae, how his boys box was smashed and the spine severed from his neck. those happening their horns seem in no doubt that this is part of a problem that baltimore police have in their conduct towards the black community when al jazeera returns, a breach of president obama's emails by russian hackers may have been worse than reported. the clinton foundation speaks out after a round of tough criticism about donors and tax filing after four decades, the

mediterranean island of cypress could be a step closer to reunification. just because i'm away

some of president obama's personal emails have allegedly been hacked by cyber criminals linked to russia. as rob reynolds explains the breach appears to have been more serious than the white house admitted. >> reporter: in october russian hackers penetrated white house cyber defenses, scooping up email exchanges between president obama and other senior government officials. the white house would not comment on a report published sunday by the "new york times". if accurate it represents one of the most significant known electronic intrusions into top levels of the u.s. government. at the time it was said no classified information was collected and the deepest servers carrying classified data including messages from barack obama's blackberry were not breached.

the report says all signs point to a russian origin to the hackers, presumed to be linked to or working for the government of president vladimir putin. last week u.s. defense secretary ashton carter revealed russian hackers penetrated the pentagon's unclassified systems. >> we analysed the network activity associate with russia and kicked them off the network in a way of minimizing chances of returning. . >> this episode illustrates a step in the right direction. >> reporter: the u.s. spied on other world leaders electronic communications. leaked information from former national security agency contractor edward snowden shows the agency tapped german chancellor angela merkel's cellphone and monitored brazilian president dilma rousseff's emails. the hacks come at a time of extreme tension between the white house and the kremlin. an unnamed u.s. official told

the times the russian angle to this is particularly worrisome. after mounting criticism, the clinton foundation acknowledged that it made mistakes in how it disclosed information about its finances. on the foundation's blog acting c.e.o. mora pale addressed a donation of more than $2 million from a canadian company taken over by a russian iranian producer and wrote the reason the donation was not reported is canada bans the disclosure of donors without their concept. and it was alleged that they were not reported in the tax forms properly. she wrote:

there could be a break through on the divided mediterranean island of cyprus. polls closed in an election that could unite the island for the first time in 40 years. it has been split between turkey and greece between 1974, turkey invaded the northern portion of the island in a response to a coup backed by athens. in 1983 the turkish occupied norths became a self declared republic. a united nations buffer zone is in place. today turkish cypriots elected a new leader and he is expected to restart talks on reuniting the island. hoda abdel-hamid reports. >> reporter: it is called a new beginning, the people voting for change, unity and peace. independent mustafa akinci defeated the

incumbent is the new president of cypress. >> translation: when the time for change has come, no force can change it, this is not my success, but the success of all our people. >> reporter: when voters cast their ballots, they had two choices, one representing change, mustafa akinci. a man that wants a reunified cypress. his criticism of what some call turkey's domination was seen as a break from the past. >> translation: i voted for a united federal cypress. i believe it is only possible where mustafa akinci and not the other candidate. >> the majority came to vote for change. i want change. and for negotiations to move. >> reporter: mustafa akinci's rival is not against talks. he, too, said he was committed

to a solution. his campaign has a less than compromising attitude. and in favour of a 2-state solution. turkish migrants are sizeable, throwing their weight behind him because a lot are afraid of change. >> translation: we are scared of juan luis anangono. he'll change the status quo. he doesn't have the turkish flag in his office. g cypress is united. we'll be left out. >> reporter: this is a divided society in a divided country. not every one is celebrating victory. mustafa akinci's supporters are. for people here reunification is a solution. they say their lives will get better. the economy will improve, isolation will end, and they are ready to make compromises to achieve that. >> reporter: the election was a referendum for a way in which the cypress problem can be solved. u.n. brokered peace negotiations are to resume, and that is when

mustafa akinci has to prove he can bring about the change he promised kazakhstan is voting in presidential elections. according to election polls the current president is winning by a landslide. they have the second-largest economy, and biggest oil producer. independent election sources say nursultan nazarbayer captured 97.5% of the vote. time numbers will be released monday. there are questions about the legitimacy of the results. human rights say the government cracks down on opposition and most are in gaol or fled indonesia is preparing to execute eight foreign prisoners convicted of drug offenses. protesters gathered in the philippines calling for clemency. the united nations previously has done the same. the prisoners are from australia, nigeria, brazil and

the philippines. they are said to be executed by firing squad as soon as tuesday. leaders are pressuring indonesia to spare their lives. >> when al jazeera america returns, how scientists are studying seismic data to learn more about the earthquake in nepal. as the mediterranean crisis worsens, we talk to people that are desperate to leave their homes, and what they find behind the see and images of the calbuco volcano, spewing ash after four days.

welcome back to al jazeera america. here is a look at your top stories. the wait for freddie gray who died after being arrested by baltimore police was hold. yesterday demonstrators rallied in a peaceful protest. his funeral is scheduled for tomorrow. the "new york times" says the

hacking of the white house email system was more serious than acknowledged. whoever did it was able to read messages sent too and from president obama. the administration says classified email services were not hacked. >> a global relief effort is underway for victims of the earthquake in nepal. 2500 are reported dead it is expected to grow as rescue teams reach more of the remote areas of the himalayas. the strongest earthquake to hit. scientists are looking at the skies mick data o -- seismic data to work out why it happens. >> reporter: the earth's crust is made of large tectonic plates. land masses including whole continent that are moving and bumping into each other. nepal straddles two plates, the indian plate and the eurasian plate. they are forced against and

under each other at a rate of 5 centimetres each year. that may not sound much, but there's tremendous force behind them. now, this line shows the strength of these forces, and the likely magnitude of earthquakes they could produce. produce.the force pushes the eurasian plate up at a rate of 1 centimetre a year, resulting in the highest mountains, the himalaya, and results in strong, shallow and damaging earthquakes like that on saturday. in parts of nepal the terrain makes it worse. the kathmandu valley has a 300 deep meter layer of clay, beneath it reflecting and focussing seismic waves within the valley, and the region is prone to soil liquefication, which causes solid ground to turn into quick sand, which can swallow buildings and roads and cause more damage. . >> we know rough ly where earthquakes occur, and how often they occur - that helps to

plan accordingly, so it's possible to conduct buildings -- instruct buildings that minimises the amount f damage, and it's possible for communities to be more resilient if they are aware of the possibility of this happening. now there are aftershock, and 55 of these five plus magnitude quakes can be expected in the area over the next few days or weeks. there has been landslides triggered by the quakes, others likely to happen during the monsoon season. damage like this has been anticipated and warded off. because nepal is so poor without the ability to build houses and roads to withstand the state the country and its people are now suffering because they were buildings were not made resistant to earthquakes. chile's volcano is still going strong. the ash as far as brazil.

lucia newman has amazing pictures. and how people in the shadow are coping with daz deaning -- danger. >> reporter: a closer view of a volcano in eruption. chile's geological service invited al jazeera to overfly the calbuco volcano, which is spewing tonnes of ash from the volcano. this is the closest they came to the crater since the volcano erupted late wednesday. what you see is not smoke, but semi-pulverized rock and gas. you can smell the sulphur. >> this is why they call them so black a column causing havoc as it heads straight towards argentina and uruguay. down below the rivers are boiling from the hot rock and ash. the same ash that covered the town beyond recognise recognition.

it's here that we find a family overseeing the damage. the town of 4,000 was evacuated. like many, they are living in a shelter, but they come to see what is left of their home. >> afraid looters will steal the little we have left. >> reporter: while the ash is not contaminated, it can provoke respiratory problems and skin rash. chile is prone to national catastrophes like few others. in the last few months there has been freakish floods in the desert. mudslides in the desert. forest fires from a drought, and volcano eruptions from not one, but two volcanos. many people are joking. the only thing missing is the locusts. the people here are determined to stay. >> i was born here, i'll stay until i die, with or without the volcano. a volcano

work continues are bad. pay is bad. the lack of motivation extends to everyone - from the nurses to the surgeons. >> reporter: after waiting for hours, patients can go home untreated, because there no longer is an anesthesiologist or a surgeon at hand. >> when you see this is the sector that has been the engine that pushed the economy in terms of leading the private sector, in terms of having qualified jobs and industries, so, you know, when you start to lose that, it's an area - it's a sector that is difficult to be replaced. >> reporter: immigration experts say many that have left say the lack of professional satisfaction drove them to look for options abroad. for others it was the crime problem. for this woman, the last drop in a full glass came after she was

kidnapped outside her house. >> translation: who wants to love land, customs, traditions, friends, be away from the family, beaches, country? nobody. in is unbearable. this is no longer viable, the way i see it. >> reporter: as the economic and political situation continues to deteriorate. young professionals are likely to emigrate. many fear few will be left behind to rebuild the country. the european union says it will triple the budget for border security to respond to the crisis of undocumented migrants crossing the mediterranean. even for the lucky ones that managed to survive, they start a challenge of starting life with nothing. barnaby phillips reports from catania. >> the tentative first steps in

europe after cramped and painful days at sea. hundreds of african migrant disembark. all is efficient on the dockside. men and women divided. first aid, clothing for the cold. first impressions are deceptive. within days, most of these new arrivals will be effectively left to fend for themselves. the reception centers are full. government and aid organizations overwhelmed by sheer numbers. the migrants that come to sicily rely on support networks from friends, family or people from their own town or village. it's those that don't have the contacts that find themselves in a vulnerable situation quickly. this 18-year-old came by boat two weeks ago. he has no friends, money or phone, and no idea as to what to do next. he's sleeping in the catania mosque. he asked for his face to be

hidden. >> my dream is to stay in this country, study, learn the language, have the right documents, send money home to my parents. >> reporter: the imam says some nights 10 turn up, some nights it's 200. >> translation: the problem is enormous. italy has done its part, it's not capable of solving the problem on its own. this is something that needs to be solved on a european level, a world level. it's everyone's problem. as long as there's poverty war and oppression on europes doorstep, the boatloads will keep on coming five are missing in alabama after severe weather capsized their boat. up next, the latest on the

i think we today want to rationalize it and make it make sense, and the truth is is that none of our six-year-old kids understand what is happening here, unless you sat them done and explained it to them. bridges was among the first six children to go to an all-white's school after this ruling calling for the desegregation of public schools across the country. >> i think what protected me was the innocence of a child. >> officials couldn't find anyone in louisiana that would teach this black student. they brought in a teacher from boston. >> this is a picture of your teacher. >> yes barbara henry. she came from boston to teach me because teachers have to quit their jobs. they didn't want to teach the black kids. she was an amazing teacher. she made school fun. i loved school because of her.

to hear voices of kids and i was searching and looking for the kids the whole year. i thought my teacher was ignoring me. i mentioned it to her, she never said anything. i since found out that she was going to the principal and saying "you're breaking the law the law has changed, kids can be together, but you are keeping them from ruby. if you don't allow them to come together i'll report you to the superintendent." so that forced them to allow mrs. henry to take me to where the kids were. when i went, there they were. four or five kids. not many. sitting there playing. and i was so excited because when you're six the most important thing is forehands. -- friends, i didn't care what they looked like. i went in to play with them but a little boy said "i can't play with you. my mum said not to play with you, because you're a niger."
