this district and this was a really close community, and now look at it. two families had lived amongst these ruins and now five people are dead. his only son is ten-years-old here and he's dead now aged, 21. you found him here,. yes. look. and, i found, the dead body of my son. everything, my life is finished. as soldiers use their bare hands in the search of the body of their son's grandmother, she was 87. and a short distance away, this is the square, one of the world

tear ranch signs and devastated by the quake. four buildings date, back to the 14th century have been damaged. and, now what's left of it, and the rich history and these women say, they have given up any hope of finding their relatives and they're among more than 50 people, who had lived at the end of this street and, no one wants to live in a building, until their convinced it's safe, and it hangs over them, as it a reminder could ever be needed of how the earth shook and conassumed so many people's lives. people are also angry, about the lack of help. and at least 20 people have died just in this area, there's

as cluster of old houses, which all came crumbling down, around, 6 people were buried she and they were all cremated yesterday, and now the entire village, is. nobody is in theville larges not even dogs enter the village. and earlier government, trying to pass, and, they are so -- they were not allowing any government vehicles, to pass through.

and it is not actually for this village and, the locals, there refusing to allow anyone to pass through, and, the materials for this area, and everyone is saying, and tired and thursday and, they want it now, and, they are expressing concern about how, it's a vim language, which is just a few kilometers, the state of many of the areas is there; it's deplorable. and not being used as

shelters at that time and he joins us live, and give us a little more detail, about what we know and, we just got the summary of the report. yes, this was a board of inquiry, and. it has reported on specifically. this summary of a report, that we're not getting, and the summary, that we're getting, is that israel is responsible for those deaths, in those 7 schools, and it was attacks that it will, who died. and at the same time, the report says, there were three instances

it is clear, when you read the detail, and when they found the weapons were not being used, and they were empty billions, and whereas the schools, where the people died and people were injured, and the 7 expoocialtion that would be used, with all locations that had been communicated. jaimsz, a sense of of course, the war in 2014, and palestine, is now a member, and how does that change any kind of reaction from this report? well right now, the chief prosecutor and, has as exam making underway, to see if she should launch, a formal inquiry in particular, that law last summer and, this is evidence, carried out by professional u.n. investigators, and it could be usedded by that chief prosecutor

and, what's not clear is whether the report, the full report, has not been made public would be given to the chief prosecutor and so, clearly see what we're seeing, and will she get all the details and witness statements and that's not cheer. testimony, there was outrage, and the fact that a lot of children, and other people, and, seek shelter, and then, many lost their lives,. how angry are they. well, i think behind the scenes there's anger from some. who have.

four buildings damage and the most resounding aspect to it all, is the change in mood, and instead of a mournful attitude,

towards situation there's now anger there and anger with the authorities for the way they're dealing with this crisis, and anger, with all of the aid agencies because they're so fully stretched and, that the supplies of a mail. they are not getting through and, something as simple as, plastic sheeting, is a major issue,.

and then there's the recovery operation and, it is a recovery operation there now and, it's not a rescue operation and, we're now in the third night of this post -- effected situation and we're still getting it, and a few hours ago the ground was shaking again and, it's not surprising that many people are under of the ex. it is a micro exosm of what's going on in the capital and, spread over a large area, and you might be misled to see that things are so bad and you drive through some parts city, and the infrastructure is in such a state and airport is in such a state, it can't copy with the demand that's been thrust upon it now with that one runway and it's really, just a bottleneck of aid coming in, and

good aid coming in and arriving here. and many nations here now and right across the globe and just getting it, to the people that's really a big challenge. and you mentioned there the bother neck of the airport and i'm wondering if there's anyone, who is coordinating the priority. and, who is in charge priort now? well that's debatable. the u.n. has had some role in this, and it isn't entirely clear and the struck sure of of the command and, they are taking the forward position on decision who gets here and the government instructing them doing that. that is full scale military operation, and when it comes to the relief agencies, and, it would seem, as they should be. and that's what some people are saying, and it isn't clear and it has to be said, that the prioritization has been in this

crucial first three days, and save liergs, and that we have seen and we have seen such brave efforts and bare-hands, and scooping away, and, we have seen them, in action and in so many instance, like the situation, and the streets are so narrow, that tu couldn't get a digger down there and there's also the major issue again, you may p have seen in my report, of these narrow streets and buildings, collapsing into each other, and large areas of streets where they are basically no go areas because you can't go into these areas, because the buildings are collapsing. so, it is not surprising, that no one is really sure of the total death toll. thus paints a terrible picture. thank you. let's go to yemen where

fighting has intensified, and, the rebels are battling forces loyal to the president and now, the report. this was once a quiet residential area, and the southern city has become a battle ground. and rebels backed by the former president are fighting forces loyal to the current president who has fled to saudi arabbo a mail civilians are caught in the middle. reports suggest tanks are being used had and that the rebels fired at public hospital. streets are mainly deserted except for those involved in fighting. years ago, they were an important part of the movement.

police custody. it led to protests. back it our top story the earthquake earlier i spoke to the u.n. chief, and i began by asking her just how difficult it is right now to distriebt aid. this has been a terrible tragedy, and so many images and homes can have been destroyed and, also a mountain us in country and, there are 39 districts which have been effected in the more outlying rural areas we have had difficulty getting to. we can only getting to them by helicopter. and the army is fully deployed, and they need additional support, with equipment and there has been a huge outpouring of support, from the world. search and rescue teams have come in, and they are going

through, trying to find people, we have over 3,000 people who have died, and we expect those figures to rise, we hope by not too much. but it's very hard to know, because we don't know what is happening in those outlying areas and, we have nearly 7,000 people who are injured already. so, this is an absolutely critical time, it's the people themselves, on the ground, that are helping each other initially, and you see those pictures of people living outside, and water exfood and healthcare are needed and fuel is running low and being able to move, where the roads are open is becoming difficult. we're hearing that, one of the problems, is the airport. a very small airport and seeing a lot of flights that cannot

land. is there any way that you have a way of a search and rescue priority, and over shelter? do you or is it just first come first serve. what tens to happen is that an aircraft will come in, with supplies and bring people as well so you'll have the search and rescue teams that will come in and bringing supplies. the difficulty becomes that there are commercial flights that are bringing people in, exthere are people who are wanting to leave, and what tens to happen, is that the government will prioritize the relief flight, but they also want economic activity to continue. it's very important that commercial route remains open. only one runway, the airport is becoming very congested and we have set up a help and we try to

work with the government, and with the military authorities to make sure, that the supplies coming in, and that they are organized and we know where they're going and, try and move things out so you're not congesting the airport. it's been difficult to get to any of the remote areas, do you have a clear idea of what is needed where? we don't yet have a clear idea. we can guess because we're had to work in this kind of situation before, and we know, that water and food, connectivity and people want to stay in touch and healthcare, and all of these are a priority, and, the country that already had quite low levels of coverage, in terms of the numbers of doctors and also looking for specialists, people who are working in orthopedic,

and this will be a priority, and there are a number of medical teams that are going in and there will be some of these hospitals doing it up which will be able to ease the pressure in this area. and chief speaking to me earlier. and the general has joined the prime minister, and on a tour of the response to the mediterranean crisis. they took a helicopter, to board a ship, and they tour the coast. another 274 might go grants were brought assure to the port. and they were rescued from a boat and 64 kill kilometers, and now, from the port, on the coast. in part, the visit to italy and, the italian coastline is all about showing so will so will

a carty, after 1,700 people have drowned. but i think there are also some serious policy discussions between him and the italian prime minister, and the head of e.u. foreign policy. i think if you look at what he was saying before he arrived he said, that there was no military solution to this crisis good that could be taken as a criticism of the european union's conclusions after its summit, when it spoke about the need to destroy smuggler's boats and, the indication, that they are contemplating military force off the coast of libya. and i think that would be key to hear what they mean by that, and they may want to hear from him as to what sort of international initiatives there are, and the general recognition, in it at

that timely, and, in the long run, and just a reminder, that the flow of arrivals to italy is showing no sign of slowing down and they reported today that it brought to sure, 274 migrants and brought them back to the main land, just northeast, from where i'm speaking to you. well many of those who died are from africa, and a region and, as they report, young people there, believe their future lies abroad. these are not good times for us. 18-year-old son kidnapped he said he was trying to reach europe. and security guards say he cannot. sometimes, i feel like i

have lost my sanity, you can imagine how you feel, when your child calls you and says he is threatened with death unless you pay up. and then we have no guarantee that my child will survive. his family asked him to come back and he said the smugglers treated him badly. i don't call them smugglers i call them butchers. they don't care about their lives. they won't think twice about killing people. i was only released after my mother sold the plot, to raise the ransom. and, many are desperate to might go great and, it is little wonder that they choose to go, that takes them through e

theo pea a and then reaching italy. like many, if they are willing to take the risks and he has been forced to return several times. and he says, he'll try to leave again. life here is what is causing me to might go great, you can't get one decent meal a day i have no job and i can't sit and wait. the government says it is committed to reducing youth unemployment and seeking more investment. greek prime minister says reshuffle the team, having talks. the finance minute center, who was run previous previous talks is supervising the team while the deputy foreign minister, has been appointed coordinator for future negotiations, and, this

is seen as a effort to sideline them, to a less active role in negotiations. japanese prime prime minister is expected to become the first japanese leader to address the u.s. congress this week and the plans, to strengthen the ties are facing exritcism back home. it's a daily standoff, in the bay. on one side, the protestors trying to stop the construction of the u.s. marine airfield. and on the other, the coast guard. the stakes have risen in a battle that lasted 20 years. we now have a governor who is opposed to the land reclamation, and he was voted in by a huge margin. thethe coast guard's biggest headache are those that pedal

and looking for places to cross. this is the shortened of the campaign to stop the building, and, these protests have been getting support from okay what now wans as a whole and it is becoming a battle between tokyo and ochanowa. and, it is close to civilian buildings and, an argument strengthened, by a helicopter crash, and japan and the u. have agreed to relocate. and, the prime minister, honoring it, is crucial, to be stronger, and more active, and closest ali and, the u.s. continues its military, realabamad. and the new base must be built outside and better still outside japan. the supporters are supported

by those and it would be the first time that they handed over territory. the governor uses very clear terms in explaining why, they are opposed so people are beginning to realize, we have a legitimate argument, and that the japanese government has been high handed in forcing this through. toek t.o. overruled it, to allow preparatory worker. and in the meantime, they try to slow down the work and draw attention to the fight. everyday they're detained and, returned to sure, and everyday, they come back again. investors, have pleaded for the lice of two australian drug traffickers. facing execution.
