shocks. what is needed right now, as far as these people who have survived this earthquake? >> obviously they need shelter and food support and other types of relief items. rain has kicked in making a very difficult situation all the more severe and if they [ inaudible ] i would imagine in the next few days people can go back home to safe houses but some people will not be able to go back home because their houses have been destroyed and they'll have to stay in a camp until they can rebuild. >> is there a system of aid in place? is it working? is it able to reach remote areas? >> that's the big challenge -- >> all right. we have lost him again, the u.n. resident coordinator for nepal who was telling us about the relief and recovery efforts there.

the visitor now [ inaudible ] comes because the security is not good in iraq and also the profit of the people now empty because -- economic is very very tired. so just the schools come here. just the schools, and foreign guests come here office because no security. so i'm real sad now. >> reporter: without visitors there's no money for maintenance. babylon is in desperate need of upkeep beyond the initial investment requires to bring it up to standard. these men are checking for salt levels and humidity. the workers aren't presenting further damage but monitoring the damage that is occurring. a private charity, the world monument fund has provided some money for cleanup, but as you can see, there is litter

everywhere here and that money isn't enough. but there are more pressing concerns looting is one of them. they used to be home to a very distinctive blue glass brick. and outside of museums now it's almost impossible to see. more worrying is the threat from the islamic state of iraq and the levant. the armed group has destroyed hundreds of ancient sites, including a statute as iconic as this. those who run the museums are worried. >> translator: as iraqis and archeologists, the destruction of isil of heritage sites made our hearts bleed. the sites belong to the world. and as such the world should help protect them. >> reporter: for now the beatles have the run of the cradle of civilization. and many say this place like

hit by these tornados. look at the speed of the wind you can judge from that. this is horizontal rain. this is a train actually blown off tracks. now what sort of wind does it take to do that? and it has left a certain amount of flooding. currently it is raining in southern georgia and florida, and that's almost the end of it. in florida it also knocked out the heat wave in the south it was up to nearly 30 degrees, we're down to 40 degree. but i think at the time that's the end of that battered nasty weather. it is creeping through georgia and up through the carolinas, and leaving behind finish-looking weather, 23 degrees or so for denver and dallas. it's florida wet weather will be. and that will spread further south as well. and take out cuba's heat wave. again, high 30s. that will be gone pretty soon as

the rain starts to fallin stead and back to 31. foley. thank you very much. now to burundi, where there is a third day of protests against the president's decision to run for a third term. let's go live to malcolm webb who is there for us. the protesters aren't giving up. you know they are intent on protesting these last few days. >> reporter: that's right. absolutely no sign of backing down. there are still protests going on right now in a couple of suburbs. there were a lot of protesters here a few hours ago, now you can see the remains of a smoldering roadblock there. the police are checking some of the cars and pedestrians. but just over there, down that road there's a big crowd of

protesters still clashing with police. every so often we hear the bang of tear gas being fired. let's take a look at the story now. [ singing ] >> reporter: protesters show no sign of backing down. they want the president to abandon his bid for a third presidential term. but his supporters say he is entitled to run again. but that only seems to make the protesters more angry. >> translator: they want to slaughter us like animals. >> reporter: there's a whole crowd of protesters here behind them a burning road black, and behind that several burning roadblocks. a couple of anti-riot vehicles and there's also a handful of soldiers around. but they have just been observing.

they are mostly here to protect civilians. the police wait for orders to advance. but the trouble hasn't only been on the streets. this man was sitting at home with his neighborings when men wearing police uniforms came and shot one of them. he died. other people near here think the attackers may have been from the ruling party's youth wing but wearing police uniforms. neither the police or the ruling party were available for comment. >> they passed i think in five houses. everyone is on the road they fight on saying you must -- you must respect us. you must respect us. there is no doubt [ inaudible ] condition. >> reporter: just around the block, this man says two men in police uniforms approached him around the same time. >> translator: they asked me who will you vote for the president or the opposition

leader? i kept quiet. i did not reply. >> reporter: his wife told us they then hit him on the head with a metal bar, and he fell unconscious. she said she only escaped the same by saying she supported the president. back at the standoff it's an almost inevitable breaking point. it's the worst unrest the country has seen since the 12-year civil war ended in 2005. as militia and rebel fighters get drawn in many are worried things will get much worse. we spoke to a journalist here and he saw the youth ring

described as the u.n. human rights chief as a militia that acts with impunity. they said they apprehended the journalist accused them of arming the opposition and tried to take their equipment. the police chief held a press conference. they referred to what they said were rumors that people were spreading -- intending to spread fear and make people leave the country. so we can take that i think as a denial that the political youth wing is involved but it's certainly true people are leaving the country. over 20,000 have fled to neighboring rwanda and neighboring congo. those people it seems are expecting the very worst ahead of the election. >> thank you very much malcolm webb. cattle theft is a problem in many parts of kenya, and some

people have resorted to extreme measures to keep their animals safe. harrah mutasa reports. >> reporter: after a day in the field, he takes his animals back home. he seems to be popular here. in this part of kenya, if you own cattle you are considered well off. they arrive at the house, go down a narrow passage, and then into his bedroom. >> translator: the cow i love most are the ones that produce milk. i sleep with them because if they are stolen my family will suffer. i lock them in. it doesn't matter if the cow urinate on me. so long as they are safe. >> reporter: here he is literally on the same footing as his prize possessions. it's the only way he says they can be safe from cattle

wrestlers. communities have been stealing cattle from each other for generations. >> it's a major problem, because it's a source of conflict that we face around. it tears -- it normally goes to the [ inaudible ] cross-border conflict. >> reporter: in many parts of africa cows are extremely valuable often used in important ceremonies. today a girl's dowry or bride prize is being paid. everyone seems happy and a wedding date is set. >> if you don't have a cow, even the communities are looking at you as a very pour person. so the cows are very important to our customs. >> reporter: the next day, he takes his animals back to the field. he says what you are seeing now is a small number. he has more than 50.

he doesn't keep all of his cows at home. he gives others to friends and relatives. that way if they are stolen he doesn't lose everything. it's his way of protecting the family fortune, and he doesn't care if some people think sleeping with his cows is a bit extreme. still ahead on the news hour . . . ♪ >> dancing to a very different beat. vietnamese younger generations embrace economic prosperity while grappling with old politics. i'm nick clark reporting from the busiest port in scandinavia. and in sports with five games to go can barcelona open up a 5-point lead in details coming up after the break. do stay with us. ♪
