girls from book. >> and the sport including... >> baltimore get off the street. kid go home, stay home. you have no right to do what you are doing a warning from a baltimore star as riots force the teams baseball stars to play behind closed doors frustration and anger. desperation and need. four days after nepal is struck by an earthquake. nepal is struggling to cope much this is the scope in kathmandu, long lines of people trying to get out of the capital. no buses to take them. whether it's getting a son home to his family or aid into the area transport is stretched to the limit. shortly we'll speak to our

correspondent in kathmandu. but first a closer look at the desperate humanitarian situation faced by millions of people. andrew simmonds travelled to the himalayan foothills to see the difficulty getting aid. and we visit a tent city in kathmandu where people are in urgent need of food water and shelter. >> reporter: open and enclosed. this family lived here for generations, with only their clothes, this is their life. >> i had to build this myself and borrow money doing it. we are surviving. no one has come to help us.

no fresh water or heat. this makes me angry. >> his wife is more direct. >> people have diarrhoea, no one is helping us. >> reporter: preparing the daily meal is a delicate tack. food and cooking oil is squares. little money is coming in, they can't go to works. >> reporter: water is scarce. saturday's quake damaged major utility infrastructure gas electricity and the mobile and landline networks. tuesday some of that was partially reconnected. those that survived have been distributed some equipment. they get a few meters of tenting each family has a few meters.

every family finds a way to use it. at least they should get shelter. because of that, the government is arranging for this - getting delays. it's already late. people are suffering. workmen are here. people are getting sick. these are not bad. we arrange ourselves. while the public are grateful for anything that can be provided. there is growing disquiet that more needs to be done, and done soon. we are responsible to require them things and help from - required to them. we are going our best. in some places, it is done on time. that's why people are giving angriness. >> temporary areas like this remain, the government will be under huge pressure from the public to make sure they distribute fairly what the international community

has delivered. >> reporter: it's an operation that stops for refuelling and briefings. while the military may have been mobilized quickly, it's not enough to bring the relief that this country needs. beyond the sprawl of nepal's capital is where the extra effort is needed. from this altitude you can see just how inaccessible the terrain is to the special forces rescuers. ltcol has a colossal job on his hands. perched on mountainsides, homes that have collapsed. the army says there would be no way of reaching anyone trapped inside unless teams are winched down from helicopters in hundreds of thousands of locations. here a landslide on a village, that disappeared in a mound of earth. the number of dead is unknown.

this is one of many further disasters in the wake of the quake and its aftershocks. the ltcol is defending his operation against criticism. he insists while many died, few are recognising or counting how many have been saved. >> one mi-17 helicopter of the nepalese army, if i'm correct, flew 68 missions on the day in a 24 hour cycle. pulled out over 370 people. >> landing at the town, it's not long before the commander saw his ground forces in action, bringing casualties to a district hospital that should be treating less than 300 patients. right now the figures are at just under 800. doctors admit the situation is at breaking point. this woman has a serious back injury, and travelled for more than

100km for treatment on a floor. there's no beds, mats or trolleys left. the hospital is overwhelmed. it's remarkable the doctors and nurses keep going, they have been working since saturday. >> we have to help them. we are left undamaged. we escaped and came to the hospital. since then we are working. >> reporter: the treatment starts on the streets outside. casualties keep coming in, people continue to get injured when unstable buildings collapse, often because of aftershocks. others have been travelling long distances for treatment. at first sight, you would be forgiven for thinking the earthquake had only just happened more than 5,000 are confirmed dead after saturday's earthquake. the search operation is still under way in the capital capped. -- kathmandu.

with the clock ticking there's little hope of finding more survivors. communities begin a massive clean up. we are bring in faiz jamil in kathmandu. little thought of finding survivors, and anger among those that survived the earthquake. >> well there was a near riot at one of the bus terminals earlier the day. there weren't enough buses for people trying to leave kathmandu. we visited the main bus terminal. thousands are trying to get out. they have been trying to leave for days. they didn't feel safe in the area. they are worried about diseases - cholera diarrhoea, malaria malaria. they are going to areas in unaffected regions. it may take a day or two to get there. some travel up to 900km.

there's a risk of aftershocks. now they have the ability to go and no relief comes in the city there's no point in staying here. >> thank you for that update now, the world news. 12 houthi rebels have been killed in fighting with government forces. a local commander among those killed in a battle that took place in aden. street battles are reported across the southern provinces. a saudi coalition bombed an airport. a plane ignored a warning to turn back. iran assess the plane was carrying aid. the plane assist not used for flight bringing in aid. a lack of aid means the humanitarian situation is more desperate in yemen. people in the south face a

growing shortage of drinking water, food medicine and medical staff. in saudar. a government shake-up has been named. let's look at how this changes the line of succession. the kingdom was founded. there was a tuck session, one of the most recent came when sing died. king sul man's brother became the prince. he has been replaced. he is the deputy prime minister and the inter-minister. king saulman's son is the deputy crown prisons, and they were

chosen among hundreds of princes. >> this is saudi arabia's new crown prince. the prince replaces a shuffle. >> he is the chairman of counsel, a body that makes a decision of threats facing the kingdom. the crown prince built strong ties with the u.s. when he was in charge. fight. this is the man likely to play a crucial role in the future. the king son was ponded duty crown prince. he serves as minister of defence. chief of the royal court. shake-ups in saudi arabia are monitored by the world, the

country is the biggest oil producer. there was questions about the success, about the issue of the first generation bombing old in the '70s, and the '80s. now there's a second generation mostly young, in their 50s. well experienced. saudi's leaders face challenges. like the growing instapility in yemen. the saudi government launched air strikes against houthi rebels. it accuses lane of using the houthis to detablize the region and this is the man to seek international support for saudi policy. the saudi ambassador was appointed americans of foreign

affairs. >> in the past we were patient. today we lost our patients much things are happening too hast for our taste. and we believe that a strong government should take aption and send the right messages to people that saudi arabia is going to deal with every threat. >> saudi arabia arabia is an important player in the middle east. it provide significant support for the syrian opposition sunnis and iraq and lebanon. saudi arabia political say spread across the arab world. in 2001, they were behind an arab league initiative. in exchange for a pull out for areas controlled in 1967 there's more ahead on the al jazeera newshour.

taken our the air, burundi silences. a high price to pay. we speak to a son in ethiopia. it's getting tense ahead of a big fight, mayweather and manny pacquioa arriving. -- details in sport first nigeria's army says it freed 200 girls and 93 women from boko haram. they were rescued from camps in the strong hold of the forest. let's bring in ynonne ndedge. any more details about the rescue and the identity of girls and women that were rescued. were they part of a chibok girls group? let he up date you on what you

know. what the military authorities are telling us is they are planning to release photos and details of the identity of 293 individuals to be rescued from the more effort. what we know is there as possibility that some of these women and girls, wives, relatives of boko haram insurgents living in the forest for a long period of time. a military spokesperson is telling us that the photographs will be forthcoming. the military is speaking more about how they came ba finding the girls. we know that this is a theatre of combat that they are still battling boko haram in this area. and the hope is that the chicago girls, the 200 or so kid naps a year ago could be among them. they are not ruling that out. that is what they are telling us. >> it is significant that the

army was able to go into the forest. what does this say about the night are they winning the battle now. >> this is as you can imagine. a huge boost to the confidence and moral of nigerian forces and west african partners battling with them against boko haram, and the rescue of these girls are an indication that they are beating boko haram, and they are on the verge of elimination, and that is something that president goodluck jonathan has promised by the time he leaves office on 29 may, that they will be greatly diminished. people will take heart from this. there is concern about the conditions in which the women have been kept. that has not been a disappointment for want of a better word. the armed forces are telling us

that the fight against the group continues, they are winning against the group. and in the forest where the last and final. the hope is as more are discovered eventually the missing girls from chibok will be found. staying with africa mobile access to social media has been blocked. fights like twitter were used by the opposition to organise demonstrations and they are being targeted and a popular radio station happens been shut down malcolm webb reports from the capital. >> reporter: covering the burundi protests comes with risks. this man sells the video he films to tv stations and international press agencies. on monday the government closed the country's most popular radio

and turned off transmitters of independent stations outside the capital. now journalists are worried about their freedom to do their work. >> this is a sign that the government is turning its back on the free press. throughout the country there is only media created by the ruling party. >> the radio station is crucial at a time like this. people in the city are depending on them to know where the police and protestors are clashing. across the country people depend on it to know what the government is doing, politicians, and the activists, what they are saying. it's the main form of mass communication in burundi. it's normal to see people glued to radio sets when the news was on. radio african republican was widely loved. sunday, when the government officials first came to its headquarters to close it, a crowd gathered in the street to object. government officials left. the next day, security agents closed it.

the government says the live broadcasts from protests was threatening public safety. this independent radio is on air, but only in the capital. management here are worried that it may be next. the newsroom has been a hive of activity since protests started on sunday. journalists say they have been threatened by armed members of the ruling party's youth ring. >> some people from the ruling party have taken to silencing everybody that can provide voice to say no. the people of independent media. >> both journalists and audiences are used to a greater level of press freedom than some countries in the region and are unlikely to let it go easily. like many. they are defiant. >> if the police beat me, i do

not care. i'll stay on the ground to cover what is happening, for the world to see. it inspires me to do the job. >> political tension shows no sign of easing. so many are worried about what will happen to burundi's press. a nightly curfew in for more of the situation in burundi, let's talk to the head of the african programme from chatham house in london. why does pierre nkurunziza and his supporters believe he should be able to run for a third term. >> under the burundi constitution, you should not run for a third term. the president and supporters say he is able to stand because he was elected by parliament he was not elected for an election.

therefore, his legitimate to run for an extra term. >> burundi's constitutional court said it would examine the legality for a bit for a third term. protesters show no sign of backing down. do you think they'll succeed in stopping the bid for a third term in office. >> it's a worrying situation. it's probably one of the best predict crisis in 2016. many of us n.g.o.s, u.n. have been predicting a crisis and encouraging the president not to go for a third term. he and his party decided that was the course of a party. demonstrations and violence at the moment. this could ultimately deteriorate into something more serious than civil protests. it's worrying.

>> that are fears that protests the third term a possible third term could be hyped into an ethnic conflict as we sue in burundi. do you share the fears, do you think there could be a civil war in burundi. >> we are in the dangerous situation and this could deteriorate into a civil war. the civil war ended in 2005 for a first period of time. >> all of that is gravely threatened by the counter ent that are unfolding. >> who is behind the growing protest movement. is there a strong opposition tore civil photoey moved or a dropping -- civil society movement. >> there's a strong civil

society as your reporter reported. burundi is different to rwanda there's a lot of debate discourse. freedom of expression is violence. hence against it's worrying that the government and president is trying to put a lit on all of this. i don't think it's sustainable in this day and age. it's intensely mediation with the afghan union and the united nations to find a compromise. >> a changing situation. >> thank you, alex. from chatham house. thank you for your insight. >> 40,000 people fleeing war and poverty made it across the mediterranean into italy. they come from asia middle east and africa. often relatives pay thousands. catherine soi spoke to a family

>> there are better job opportunities in england. some of my neighbours are there. they send money home. i want to do the same. >> reporter: posing as new clients we call the smuggling broker in the capital. he told us that we'll be taken to the border with sudan by a mini van that comes on specific days, at midnight to pick up migrants. he'll collect us with brokers who will help us get to europe. $4,000 is all it will take. it's not that simple. people spend months living rough on the road. many have died trying to cross the sea. perhaps a reason why a captain is not often part of the package. >> translation: once the boat is built, those travelling will choose one among you to be trained on how to sail.

they we will give him the compass and explain how to get there. >> reporter: here at the family home, his mum prays for his safety. the painful part is not knowing where he is or whether he's in trouble. time for the world weather. beautiful weather in southern africa. lovely weather for southern africa. look at the satellite. largely clear skies. cloud around the southern cape. moving through. if you spots of rain coming in. see the line of cloud at the moment. that eases its way out into the southern indian ocean as it heads to the week. showers clearing center the cape. further north, glorious sun shine and fabulous weather. more coming through friday. one or two showers through the

as you can see businesses are closed and locked, and on the other side of the street, riot police are in force, and the national guard militarized the streets. residents here say while the police presence may keep the peace, it's not the help they need. what they do need, they ay is they need jobs, opportunity and hope. it's a familiar call heard before after recent killings of black men of 18-year-old michael brown in ferguson, missouri, to the shooting of 12-year-old tamir rice in cleveland and other cases. the president says americans have to pay attention. >> all that requirements everyone to say this is important, this is significant. and that we don't just pay attentions to the communities when a cvs burns. >> in baltimore community leaders like reverend christopher brown focussing on solutions that can only come from within the community. >> we need to open up schools,

miracle. she was arrested in 2010 with 2.6 kilograms of heroin in her suitcase. the case of this migrant worker from the philippines has led to protest, because she has always maintained her innocence saying she was framed by a drug syndicate. her two sons and parents had returned from a tearful farewell when they heard the news that the woman who allegedly was involved in recruiting mary jane surrendered to police. >> translation: my daughter is innocent. she has always been innocent. all she did was she went to malaysia, spent three days there and flew to indonesia. she didn't know about the drugs. >> reporter: their prayers were heard. two australians, four nigerians and a brazilian faced a very different fate. they were shot by a firing squad for drug-related convictions. the united nations have urged indonesia to stop the executions, saying their crimes

do not warrant capital punishment. the executions went ahead despite allegations of legal flaws and political interference. the government says it will serve as a strong deterrent in the war against drugs. observers say they'll use the execution to show strength in a time of weakness. president joko widodo resumed the executions after previous governments had an unofficial moratorium. in january, six prisoners - a dutch and brazilian national - were executed. both countries recalled their ambassadors in response. indonesia says it is not worried about any international repercussions. wayne haye has more from sydney on australia reaction to the executions. >> there's a certain amount of anger and disbelief in australia after news came through that two members of the so-called bali

between australia and indonesia, saying it's a dark moment in that relationship, but emphasised that it is an important relationship, and always will be. so judging by that, it seems unlikely that in the short term anyway we'll see any further significant steps taken by the australian government against indonesia, other than the move to bring the australian ambassador to indonesia home, a decision that has been taken more than two dozen turkish actors launching mass protests against recep tayyip erdogan in 2013 have been acquitted. they had been charged with sitting up a criminal organization. the leaders the thaksin solidarity group. the protest started as an environmental group, and snowball into a wave of anger
