theraising to 3200. the disaster of course prompting a massive international response. concerns are disease in kathmandu, where most people are sleeping outside in tenths. the epicenter was a few miles east. >> gradually the mournful situation grows. more devastating than acts of war or terror attack. natural forces did this and no one knows when the death count will stop. but searching goes on with bear bare hands and people are being brought out alive. still uncertainty the fear and panic with the after-shocks. most people still unwilling to

risk going back into their homes. it is the tourist season here and their numbers figure in the death toll. those that survived are still recounting their experiences. >> translator: we ran into the hotel courtyard to avoid being crushed and when we came back to the square we saw that everything was damaged. we started helping people, trying to move bodies out of the debris. and so yesterday evening we slept here because we were afraid of aftershocks. >> reporter: medical teams are working around the clock. some giving treatment out in the open. >> basically, we have come here but we have a hospital out there but it is very unsafe. that is why we have some patients who are here so we have come here for the rounds. >> reporter: the hospitals are only just managing to cope. fresh medical supplies are reaching them but demand is intense and supplies of drinking water are low. the situation is still critical

in all of kathmandu's hospitals full to overflowing. these people have been waiting here for hours for treatment but they carry on waiting and the casualties keep coming in. no one will give up on the search for life among the ruins though. nepal with its ancient history its people renown for their bravery in battle have an almighty fight against nature and its cruelty. andrew simmons, al jazeera kathmandu. >> and the severity of the situation making it difficult to get help where it's needed. fais jamil on the ground. >> main market has been home to hundreds of people since the earthquake struck on saturday. now today a lot of locals have come out themselves to see the damage and see how big it is.

but people here very, they are very stressed out. the weather here has also been bad. in the last 24 hours we've seen rain thunderstorms, people have come out because of the quake. then they go in when the rain comes and then they're feeling all these aftershocks and they have to come out again. it's been a very tough situation here, this is just the capital city of nepal. we haven't heard what it's like outside the capital. there is cleanup of locals but it's been minimal. aftershocks cause rubble to fall down all over again. people do what they need to, just so they can get by. but the main issue is we're not sure of the extent of the devastation. there are some rescue teams but spread very thin. they're not sure what is operating in the capital and outside. i've spoken to families who have

villages in the affected area and they have no update nothing on how they're doing. it has been coming in since the quake struck. the indian air force have tried to make landings a few times have been successful, many land having been aborted because of weather and aftershocks. the aid is coming in slowly because of the weather the aftershock, it is keeping a lot of the relief teams out and a lot of the help is coming with locals people helping one another. >> so let's talk more about that weather. the role that the weather is playing in the search and rescue efforts. let's turn to kevin corriveau. >> this is cause a lift across the region and here in nepal we are right up against the himalayan mountains. before the monsoon even kicks in we have a lot of moisture from the bay of bengal and then it

lifts up the mountains and get thunderstorms across that region. this is not what we need for all the earthquakes as well as the aftershocks that are going on across the region. the satellite most of india is fairly dry until you get to the higher elevations you start to see the showers and thunderstorms. unfortunately we are going to be seeing this through the rest of the weekend. for cat mandew we do expect to see rain showers especially in the evening time frame. there's many, many people out in the streets because their homes have been destroyed there's the weekend before we get a break in the rain. >> kevin thank you very much. hundreds of tourists were on the mountain when the earthquake struck. many of them were killed. victoria gatenby reports. >> first sign that something is

wrong in the morning. >> the ground is shaking! >> reporter: at first the climbers sound relaxed but that turns to panic as they realize that a wall of snow, rock and ice is heading straight for them. >> (bleep) (bleep) (bleep). >> are you okay? >> yeah. >> all right? >> yeah, yeah. >> dazed and confused the climbers emerge from the snow and begin to look for other climbers amidst the flattened tents. >> stay together. stay together. >> here we have another avalanche. >> reporter: powerful afteris

aftershocks have triggered he other avalanches. the concern is going for food, fuel and water. despite the terror they must have felt these climbers survived the deadliest disaster in mt. everest history. it's unclear how many did not. victoria gatenby. al jazeera. >> jason sheriff schaeffer has been watching all of the news. mr. schaeffer, thanks for being with us tonight. what are you hearing from those climbers? >> , there's a, there is afirst and foremost, there is

a short window that plowed helicopters to fly up to base camp and to transport 50 people, the rest, walking wounded down to the town at 14,000 feet and then by a larger russian helicopter out to lukla and to cat mandew, wherekathmandu, where the medical resources are already overwhelmed. >> what about the climbers on the mountain? how long will they be able to survive while waiting for help? >> base camp is a very well stocked area. they have plenty of supplies, the tents were swept away, at base camp just after the quake but they have enough supplies. people are bumping up, climbers who lost their tents are bunking up be, with people who didn't. there are at least five teams at

camps 1 and 2 they have reported in that they have enough supplies to keep themselves sustained. but they have also gone down to check out the ice fall route that separates the camps 1 and 2 and the route is completely destroyed. there's no way to get from camp 1 to camp 2 and those climbers are stranded. above carpal 2 as well. >> there are likely twice as many sherpas and local guides on everest. what do you hear from the nepalese climbers and their families below? >> the nepalese climbers have relaid stories of widespread destruction. i don't think there is any village in the kundu valley that have been spared. these tend to be one and two-story tall structures.

thankfully since this earthquake occurred at about noon people were awake and able to run from their homes quickly a lot of them are small and people can exit them quickly. so we're hearing must have been hard to go on because communication has been difficult but what we're hearing anecdotally, the buildings have taken a much larger hit than the people which is a sliver of good news. >> also before we let you go, this happening nearly a year to the day since nepalese climbers perished from another avalanche. >> this has been a third year since there's been a serious avalanche on everest. you know, bringing more harm to itself than it needs to, i think it's important to keep the focus on the tragedy as a whole and that this is an entire nation

that is in need of rebuilding and needs a major international aid and relief package to get back on its feet. >> mr. schaeffer, thank you very much. in baltimore this weekend there was a massive and sometimes violent demonstration over the death of freddy gray, who died a week ago today possibly from injuries he suffered while the police cut. mayor asking for calm and demonstrators to demonstrate peacefully. >> we need to support peaceful demonstration and continue to enforce in our communities that rioting violence and looting will not be tolerated in our city. together we can be one baltimore and seek answers as we seek justice and as we seek peace. >> meanwhile freddy gray's funeral will be held tomorrow.

his wake was held today. for many residents of baltimore it is time to show solidarity. shihab rattanzi has more. >> expressing their sympathy with the family of freddy gray. loyola university is up the street. it's important to show that freddy gray's death had an impact on the community. >> really increasing that conversation and making sure we can start talking about what's going on in this city, in this country. we have to stop ignoring the issues. >> on saturday too as crowds grow, there is a day of solidarity peaceful friendship with small pockets of nonviolence civil disobedience. yet this is the media picture that

the media has focused on. a few minutes of vandalism resonated around the world were entirely unrepresented. >> residents put themselves in between police officers and this agitated crowd and asked for calm and asked for peace. >> reporter: that doesn't stop the people who say the police have no case to answer. few incidents to make their case. >> threat to violence civility. >> its own aim is to make things better. >> the march for hours and hours was completely peaceful and we're here to show solidarity with the family and show that there are people in the communities in this city that are working together that make things better. >> reporter: edfreddy gray will be buried on monday morning but there is a sense of determination in baltimore that

problems widely known but rarely publicly discussed will not be allowed to recede into the back ground again pnl shouldthebackground again anymore. should be, al jazeera baltimore. >> in october russian hack hackers penetrated white house e-mails. if accurate, it would represent one of the most significant known electronic intrusions into top levels of the u.s. government. unknown officials cited by the times, say that no classified

wearing a black gas mask and gear head to toe. he had plenty of ammunition. >> it took me a while to realize what was going on. i hit the ground so i wouldn't be hit. >> reporter: police were on the scene in less than two minutes. they found holmes in the parking lot standing by his car. he did not resist arrest. he killed 12 people and wounded 70 more. holmes told them he had booby trapped his apartment. police used remote control robots to get inside where they discovered an arsenal of home made bombs and chemicals. >> make no mistake this apartment was designed to kill whoever entered it. >> holmes was charged with 140 counts first degree murder,

attempted murder and a host of other charges. >> you have a right to remain silent and be advised of the charges. >> days after holmes made his first court appearance, looking dazed and sporting bright orange hair. his defense attorneys say holmes is mentally ill and in the midst of a mental attack. prosecutors say holmes is sane, they are seeking the death penalty for the now 27-year-old grad student. he was withdrawn from the university of colorado where he was pursuing a master's degree in neuroscience. in the days leading to the rampage, he mailed dr. fenton a

>> welcome back to al jazeera america. here is a look at your top stories. a massive relief effort is underway for victims of the earthquake in nepal. the number of confirmed deaths is above 3200 around that toll is expected to rise. focus is on the spread of disease among survivors. in baltimore today a wake was

held for freddy gray, dying in police custody on april 12th. a stream of mourners filed past his coffin. gray's funeral will be held tomorrow. the aurora, colorado mass shooting case goes on trial tomorrow over two years following its occurrence. james holmes has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. it's sunday and part of our look at the week ahead. shinzo abe will be visiting the united states, addressing a joint session of congress on wed. mike viqueria has the story. >> behind all the pomp and ceremony including a formal welcome a state dinner and a speech to a joint meeting of

congress there is a host of urgent issues on the agenda. first, trade. the u.s. and japan have been haggling for decades over market access for u.s. products especially in agriculture and autos, now they seem to be part of the same deal, tpp or transpacific partnership opening up markets in the pacific and the united states. but stumbling block from members of obama's own party. opposed to a deal. china's military power is rising in the region and there's a volatile dispute between china and japan over a set of ielts called the senkaku ordio in the schiets. especially over the issue of comfort women and major event

on monday where prime minister abe and officials sign a deal with japan abe will also visit boston, san francisco and los angeles during his visit to the united states. mike viqueria al jazeera washington. >> shinzo abe's visit comes on the heels of the conference, mike pointed out relations between japan and china have wavered recently, drawing criticism from china abe then met with chinese president xi jinping. cabinet ministers went to the very same shrine. japan has yet to say whether it is going to join the new

bank. to discuss it further let's bring in tobias harris, a political analyst and from dallas hiroki takaushi, smu southern methodist university. caroline kennedy says this is the issue that the u.s. should be focusing on. she says it's bigger than russia bigger than the issues in the middle east. why does she feel so strongly about this issue of japanese american relations? >> you know obviously when you look at u.s. partners in east asia, of course we have allies in south korea some the philippines, elsewhere but japan is the richest most capable ally the united states has. it's a strong relationship that goes back a long way.

the two countries armed forces have worked together for a long time. when you look another changing threat environment and you look to see what kind of country china will be in the future, any role of the u.s. in the region depends upon, absolutely needs a close relationship between u.s. and japan going forward. >> mr.-- go ahead. >> no no no, ambassador kennedy is absolutely right on that point. >> mr. takaushi do you agree the ongoing crisis in the middle east? dr. . >> i agree china's rise is a long term issue and the fundamental trend of the international politics. so how to manage china is most important for u.s. international policy. to manage sunshine increasingly important, has made japan even

more important for united states not less important. >> mr. takaushi, might it look like the united states and japan against china as opposed to u.s. and japan and china? >> i'm not worried u.s. and japan are together on many things this doesn't mean that u.s. and japan are secluding china. they are the biggest trading partner for each other except for canada and mexico for the united states. in that sense u.s., china and japan these three countries are sharing the interest so it's very different from the case when u.s. had to deal with soviet union during the cold war. u.s. china relationship is different than u.s. soviet

relations during the cold war. >> eight bases housing 50,000 active duty, the largest base is on the island of okinawa. harry fawcett has that story. >> it's a daily standoff on japan hanoko bay stopping construction of a u.s. marine field. on the other the japanese coast guard. the stakes have recently risen in a battle that's lasted nearly 20 years. >> translator: we now have a governor who is opposed to the land reclamation here and the people are supporting us. >> reporter: the coast guard's biggest headache are the kayakers they paddle along looking for places to cross. this is obviously the sharp end of the campaign to stop the building of this base but these protesters have been getting

increasing amount of support from owk gnaw wans okinawas as a whole. >> in its heart is the u.s. air base. it's been deemed dangerously close to civilian buildings an argument strengthened by a helicopter crash in 2004. prime minister shinzo abe honoring that decision is fundamental. as the u.s. continues its military rebalance to asia. but governor onaga says the base must be built outside okinawa more plainly outside japan. first time okinawa had willingly handed over territory. >> translator: the governor uses very clear terms in

explaining why okinawan are opposed, people are beginning to realize we have a legitimate argument and the japanese government is being high handed forcing this through. >> tokyo next move is to seek a legal annulment of the previous governor's agreement. in the meantime, activists continue to slow down the work, everyday they are detained and return to shore every day they come back again. harry fawcett, al jazeera okinawa, japan. >> so mr. harris i'll go to you. the air base, a lot of people want it, a lot of people don't. who wins who loses and who talks about it first? >> at this point i think governor onaga has a lot in front of him. it does point to a bigger issue

not just regarding the bases in japan, but prime minister abe what he has on his mind. to be involved in collective self defense as they write laws to reflect that interpretation so there's a lot of work to do on the part of the abe government to convince the japanese people that the security forces are necessary. to be greeted warmly for making these changes, at the end of the day, for these changes to be effective in the long term they have to be seen as worthwhile at home. in the country as a whole there is a lot of skeptic intix some of the changes the government is introducing. >> mr. takaushi, we touched on this a moment ago. how does the u.s. strengthen its position in the area, without bothering the sleeping giant

china? >> first of all china is not a sleeping giant, it is already awakened. the issue is how the u.s. manages china. what the u.s. is saying, not stimulating china but changing the focus of the u.s. security strategy from any other region to the asia. and asia has been a very -- east asia has been a very stable region for the last few decades. and it's because of there u.s. presence in japan us has the most troops in japan. and then that is the -- that provides the stability of the region. so i think it's not the current -- the current situation in asia is not the change in the

policy but confirmation and assurance of the u.s. commitment to the security and safety of the people in south pacific. >> how controversial is it, it is more important than oweapon of war. patricia sabga looks at the tpp and the economic bowngdz between bounds between u.s. and japan. >> the pacific trade deal, proposed block comprises of 40% of global output, that is a big chunk of the global economy to be writing rules about. but the tpp is not about tearing down trade barriers. vital instrument for containing china's rising influence. defense secretary ash carter has said passing the tpp is as

important to him as, quote building a new aircraft carrier. the u.s. wants to strengthen u.s. allies in southeast asia, if that dispute escalates into an armed conflict the u.s. could get sucked in through military commitments. beijing's rising influence was also on display when more than 50 countries trowshed sign on as founding members of the china led, asian infrastructures investment bank. for all the arguments in favor of the transpacific partnership it still last plenty of critics who argue it could cost america jobs and depress wages. some would like to see the deal to include punitive measures, where countries devalue their

currency to make buying abroad cheaper. patricia sabga. al jazeera. >> mr. takaucuchi how can a president who campaigned on creating jobs after one of the worst economic periods in you know, history sell a trade deal that will cost jobs? >> i don't think tpp will cause job loss in the united states. loss of the united states job comes mainly from the rising chinese economy. and it's true that the chinese economy, the rise of chinese economy has called the loss of american jobs. but china is not part of the tpp, so ufs jobs are lost because of the rise of the developing countries especially in china and then the more trade

with developing countries like china. but it's not directly related to tpp, i don't think tpp causes loss of job in the united states. >> i go back to the nafta trade agreement not causing any loss of jobs and the giant sucking sound hearing the jobs headed south. are you in agreement that the tpp won't cost americans jobs? >> it's hard to come up with a firm statement as to what the economic result will be. it's mixed some american jobs are likely to be hit. just because you have low cost countries like china and malaysia playing to the strengths of american companies so presumably it's going to have some boost for jobs at home.

obviously, it's just too early to say what the precise economic impact is going to be like. i think what you're seeing too is that these jobs, people on the left in the democratic party certainly have a long memory back to nafta as well. we're finding that the strategic argument is falling on deaf ears for that reason and i think it's worth paying attention to. >> there is something that is not falling on deaf ears and you mentioned it briefly by saying, some of this is happening in the back room, it is a private deal, a global watch group in washington writes, the tpp would elevate foreign firms to equal status with sovereign nations rights and privileges provide he provided by the pac and frustrates their

understanding, mr. takauchi is this an agreement forged in the back room of foreign governments? >> that is not unusual for trade negotiation. because you do not want to show your strategy to the other traiting partners but at the same time, the -- trading partners but at the same time no tpp does not solve the problem that we have right now. so the u.s. has lost some jobs to china. but, you know, without tpp does the u.s. get back those jobs? no. so we do not know about the real detailed content of the tpp that is true. but at the same time, it means that we do not know about the impact of the tpp. >> mr. harris, does this deal give multinational corporations which is something that elizabeth warren the senator and

others are concerned about the right to sue nations because it disagrees with what those governments decide and specifically they point to things like climate change policies. >> i'm not going to pretend i'm an expert on the exact functioning of the isds provisions. but trade experts have pointed out you have lots of agreements that have included this before, there are safeguards to prevent multinational governments from that process i think there are safeguards to ensure that u.s. law would remain -- would have predominance in such a circumstance. i think the concerns are real, and obviously you want a trade agreement that does actually work for all the people in the country and not just for corporations, but you know, i think there's a lot of hype. there's a lot of rhetoric and frankly until we actually see

what the agreement looks like, it's too hard to say one way or the other. >> tobias harris, from washington d.c. and tunoki takaushi, gentlemen thank you for being with us. events, in the week ahead monday opening arguments begin in the trial of james holmes, the accused shooter of aurora colorado in 2012. ukraine leaders are expected to discuss that country's struggling ceasefire and the minsk agreement. still ahead communications are knocked out in many areas by that powerful earthquake. coming up how nepalese citizens living outside of the country
