♪ >> announcer: this is al jazeera. ♪ welcome to the news hour i'm sammy live from doha. search and rescue efforts continue in nepal as anger rises about the government's response. the country struggles to distribute aid and help the wounded in overrun hospitals. the battle for ties and they target one of the largest cities. i'll have all your sport including guilty of groping but

free to play world number one to represent asia at the rio 2016 olympics after getting a retroactive drug ban. ♪ let's start with the death toll from nepal's devastating earthquake and rising and standing at 3729. and much of the damage in the capitol was centered around the historic square heart of kathmandu's town and rescuer digging through the rubble and trying to find runsurvivors but with the airport there is one runway and people waiting to fly out and the aftershocks mean the airport is not always open for business and nepal is one of the poorest countries and 20

countries are behind the effort including india, pakistan china, israel, united states and members of the eu and they sent or pledged money or supplies including medicine a mobile hospital and rescue teams and there is a lack of food and water, officials from some of nepal's more remote areas around the epicenter of the quake say most of the communities have been destroyed and those who survived need help urgently the disaster under lined the nepal's medical facilities and thousands are suffering from horrific injuries and the world health organization says that only two physicians in 50 hospital beds for every 10,000 people in nepal and let's cross over to the historic doba square in historic kathmandu and take us through the scene where you are, is the search for survivors through the rubble there turning up people?

>> reporter: very innocently yes, it is and very quickly it is. periodically what we see, sammy are rescue vehicles and police vehicles finding a body and they whisk it away to the local hospital, the police escort and sirens and this story is beginning to unfold more so in the capitol because of the nature of the kathmandu valley being the way it is being the large cultivation and more hit and killed and expecting 4,000 by at least tuesday and perhaps even more so as the outlying areas of the countryside, finally get those rescue services to this and you have to remember with this earthquake but it has actually also damaged routes and ways to get to remote areas outside of the capitol, therefore it takes time for those rescue services many of them from the international

community to get that far. but i'm in the historic center of kathmandu as you say and i'll step down where i am and you see one of the oldest pass palace and you can see the roof collapse during the earthquake with the tremors over the weekend and there is a white building which is actually a palace built in 1908 the front facade is incredibly dangerous, the columns are perching very tenuously as the tiles above fall and most have fallen off and people are worried about the safeness of the building. this is how the day progressed here in the square. working their way through the ruins using the hands or any other tool available, it is a dangerous task. they stopped briefly for water and continue.

these historic sites once stood proud for hundreds of years in the center of kathmandu then felt like a pack of cards on saturday, small groups of security personnel and volunteers sift through the rubble painstakingly hopefully trying to find any survivors if they can. it is a difficult task and it is only stopped when there is another tremor or when the sun sets. the rescue and relief operation continues with medics working around the clock to help the injured or seriously wounded. it's a tough job. the death toll is already in the thousands and that is just in the capitol. from the air the destruction is clear, while hundreds are still stranded at the airport it is peek tourist season and many will return home with horrific memories and the large problem is aid flying into kathmandu airport, it only has one runway.

while the world sends help the logistical challenge is getting it out to the people who need it most. and on that point so what is happening exactly at the airport? is a bottleneck building up there? are we seeing problems in distribution getting whatever aid arrives out into areas where people need it? >> i think you summed it all up quite well. when you have one runway on a terminal that can only hold as many as eight commercial aircraft at its gates and fewer and half a dozen in the outline path of the wing or the apron of the airport is there any wonder when you have a natural disaster like this and the world went to hell and you have a bottleneck of people who want to brink in search and rescue teams and also the commercial flights bringing in ngo with expertise help and

what they founded and have to sort of cherry pick those planes which they see or deem to carry the most of the important individuals to kathmandu itself and then from there, yes, there is a bottleneck. when i arrived in kathmandu what should have been a two hour journey from deli was a ten hour trip from me with plane circling and not being able to land because of the airport and the weather and air traffic controllers have to leave the building and close the airport, and rain since saturday hampered that rescue effort and hindered how quickly this aid can be distributed and how quickly the help and the rescue services that come from across the world can try and help the people in nepal in one of the darkest hours. >> reporter: thanks for that and we will talk a little bit of what is going on outside of

kathmandu and we traveled to a village a few kilometers outside the capitol and sent this report on how the relief effort was proceeding there. >> reporter: we are in the village where at least 20 people have died just in this area there is a cluster of old houses which all came crumbling down around six people were buried over here. they were all cremated yesterday. now, the entire village is not only in shock but also they are quite angry because of the lack of services from the government. this gentleman over here, can you tell us what kind of help you received from the government? >> translator: so far we've not received anything from the government. we had the armed police come and three three tarps and that is all, nobody is in the village, not even dogs are in the village. >> reporter: earlier we had found some government vehicles trying to pass and the locals are so angry they are not

allowing any government vehicles to pass through. >> translator: i brought some relief for this but i will give you three packets for here. >> reporter: so they just found out the relief material over here is not actually for this village and the locals are refusing to allow anyone to pass through and want the relief materials for this area everyone is saying they are hungry, tired, thirsty and want their relief now and they are also expressing concern about how, if this village which is just a few kilometers outside the city is suffering like in the fate of many other mountain areas is unknown, i'm with al jazeera, kathmandu. and so we mentioned earlier on the weather conditions as being a problem, let's talk a little bit more about what is going to happen, rob. people have been afraid to go back home because of aftershocks

and cannot stay out because of the rain, is some of that going to clear up and give them a way forward? >> this is quite an elevated country, it's actually not too bad from the point of view of temperatures and with the winter it's 21 degrees or so. the rain is a potential problem and if you look at the satellite pictures this is the best evidence of what has just happened, this circulation where you sebright tops is showers or thunderstorms and there has been torrential rain and mt. everest and kathmandu and nepal and not to the west but that is about to change because coming through northern pakistan there is a big storm that hit peswar and it will build on showers and nighttime the showers die down and tomorrow they will pick up again and again the focus this is the forecast chance the area

most at risk is kathmandu and the temperature around 21 mark and isn't that high by day and drops to single figures by night but most of the time the sun is in the sky and you're okay. as the week goes on the showers should die away almost completely sammy. >> thanks rob, u.n. general banky monday will go on patrol with a ship off the coast of sicily on monday italian prime minister and the eu foreign policy chief will also be on board and so far this year more than 1700 people are believes to have died in boats trying to reach europe and some who made it end up in the sicily port city where barnabie reports. >> reporter: the first steps in europe after cramped and painful days at sea hundreds of migrants disembargain from the italian navy ship on the dock side and

men, women divided and clothing for the cold and first impressions are deceptive and within days most of the new arrivals will be effectively left to fend for themselves the reception centers are full and government and aid organizations overwhelmed by sheer numbers. the migrants who come to sicily rely on support networks from friends and family from people who might come from their hometown or village and it's those who don't have those contacts who can find themselves in a very vulnerable situation very quickly. like 18-year-old from guinea and he came by boat two weeks ago, he has no friends, no money, no phone and no idea as to what he will do next. he is sleeping in the mosque. he asked for his face to be hidden. >> translator: my dream is to stay in this country, study,

learn the italian language and go to school speak with the italians have the right documents, send money home to my parents. >> reporter: they say some nights ten migrants turn up some nights it's 200 in each shelter shelter. >> translator: the problem is enormous and italy has already done its part but it's not capable of solving the whole problem on its own, this is something that needs to be solved at a european level if not a world level, this is everyone's problem. >> reporter: as long as there is poverty war and oppression on you're -- europe's doorstep they will keep on coming. >> many who died this year trying to cross the mediterranean are from somalia and thousands risked their lives hoping for a better future and we report from the region of somali land. >> reporter: these are not good

times for he and his family. his 18-year-old son has been kidnapped by smugglers in libya. he says he was trying to reach europe for a better life and security guards can raise the $5,000 ran some. >> translator: sometimes i feel like i lost my sanity you can imagine how you would feel when your child calls you and says he has been threatened with death unless you pay up. it's sad. yet even if we paid the money we still have no guaranty my child will survive the journey. >> reporter: and he returned from libya a few months ago and family asked him to come back after he failed to cross the mediterranean and he say the smugglers held him back. >> translator: i don't call them smugglers i call them butchers and do not care about the lives of migrants but the cash they got out of their families and will not think twice about killing people i was only released after my mother sold and raised the ran

some they were asking for. >> reporter: kept much of the rust of somalia and many of the youth are desperate to migrant and unemployment of 80% little wonder that thousands choose to go on the periless journey through ethiopia and sudan and hopes of reaching italy by boat. many of the migrants if he is willing to take the risk and trying to get there since 2007 and forced to return to ethiopia several times and says he will try to leave again. >> translator: life here is what is causing me to migrate and you cannot get one decent meal a day and i have no job and no hope of getting one and cannot sit and wait. >> reporter: they say it's committed to reducing youth unemployment and is seeking more investment to fund projects that will help keep its youth in their home land somali land. stay with us here on al jazeera news hour we have

scared and trying to cope. the attack on emmanuel was caught on camera by a south african journalist. >> translator: i cannot eat or sleep, he is always in my mind, the picture of how he died is always there. >> reporter: this is the spot where emmanuel was so brutally killed now four men were arrested and expected to stand trial for his murder but there are a number of families who lost loved ones in xan xenophobia in 2004 and have not given up. >> he came from democratic republic of congo and attacked on a bus in 2008 in johannesburg and said he had all the necessary paperwork to legally work in south africa. >> my grant guilty without innocence and when you are reporting a case if it's against a south africa it's very hard for justice. >> reporter: 62 people were killed in this kind of hate crime in 2008.

force force. [cheering] the protests seem to be growing larger and this one started at that end of the road and by the time it got to here it's numbered in the hundreds and face-to-face with riot police and behind the riot police is another crowd of protesters forming and exchanging rocks and tear gas and people are worried the situation is going to escalate and it did. [gunfire] several protesters were injured and some parts of the city some people were shot and killed. we ended up down wind of some of the spray and makes your eyes hurt so much you cannot see and your skin feels like it's burning, in the city center three government ministers came to the capitol radio station with police and said they would close it and staff locked themselves inside and kept broadcasting but that didn't

and that is how it started. but that rain developed to something more than just a rain shower it was quite a nasty storm that developed and here it is coming across and the clue is the sharp back edge to the line of cloud and the tail end is in peshwar and this is rain in 24 hours and that wasn't the story, that is a clue how violent this thing was and probably spawned a tornado and killed over 40 people. although it is gone it has not necessarily. so for the next day or so it looks fine for northern pakistan. the south is the place to watch probably and this is a case of strong winds and dust storms. as for thunderstorms, well we have been looking for a while now at the northeast of india and bangladesh for big storms and they are fading away and satellite picture doesn't show much growing today but there is something in eastern nepal and they are still around but not going to be repeated that much i

is probably or where it probably has been the biggest preparedness effort ever i mean everybody was expecting this earthquake to happen and from the disaster point of view it could be much worse or it is sort of well prepared and sort of where the big test is now that to see if the whole coordination effort actually can be done. >> excuse me but if perhaps this was the situation where people were the most prepared why are we hearing stories of people in the capitol lacking basic things like shelter, water and why we are hearing of bottlenecks in remote areas that are completely cutoff. >> you situation where kathmandu is simply worst case scenario and the airport as the entrance to the whole city and that is what we heard before

only one runway. so of course there are still problems. but even though this could be a lot worse if i mean if the earthquake has struck closer to kathmandu and we are also in that very poor country and every time we have one of these major disasters it's always the poor people that suffer the most simply because they cannot afford having the right houses and so on. >> now i mean you study and do research on situations like this, what can you do what are you supposed to do in this sort of situation where there are areas that are completely cutoff we are told because of landslides and because of weather conditions? >> it is basically here where it has come in and we know in every scenario that has been conducted around the port people will know or different ngos will know that you have areas where you

cannot access and means you have to stock up supplies so in areas which cannot be accessed maybe for other days or weeks, this is something that we should have known from the beginning. >> all right peter jenison thanks for your insight there. at least 44 people mostly women and children have died in pakistan after heavy rain and strong winds there ripped through the northwestern city of peshwar and the pakistan army joined the rescue effort after winds were 120 kilometers an hour uprooting trees and flattening buildings and the storm came ahead of the usual monsoon season taking people by surprise more rain is forecast. kazakhstan's long time leader khyber pakhtunkhwa has won the vote in presidential election and has been president of the country for 26 years and independent election observers

mustafa akinci represented change and wants a reunified cyprus to end the isolation. and mustafa akinci criticism of what some call turkey domination of cyprus was seen as a break from the past. >> translator: i voted for united federal cyprus and believe it's only possible with mustafa akinci and not the other candidate. >> translator: the majority of the people came to vote for change and i want change and for the negotiations to start moving. >> reporter: mustafa akinci rival is not against talks and he said he was commits to a solution but his camp has been seen to have a less compromising attitude and in favor of a two-state solution. turkish migrants are a sizable community and threw their weight behind him because a lot of them are afraid of change. >> translator: of course we are

scared mustafa akinci because he will change the status quo and doesn't have the turkish flag in his offices and if cyprus is united we will be left out. >> reporter: a divided society in a divided country. not everyone in northern cyprus is celebrating this victory but mustafa akinci supporters are and reunification is the solution to the cyprus problem, they say their lives will get better the economy will improve and their isolation will end and they are ready to make compromises to achieve that. the election was a referendum for one way the problem could be solved and u.n. peace negotiations are to resume soon and that is when mustafa akinci can prove he can bring the change he promised al jazeera northern cyprus. some of u.s. president barack obama's personal e-mails have allegedly been hacked by cyber intruders from russia it's thought though classified information has been compromised
