have lived here for decades 24 have been living here since saturday's quake. with only their clothes they were wearing and a few personal possessions, this is now their life. >> translator: i had to build this myself. no one has come to help us. this makes me angry. >> reporter: his wife is more direct. >> translator: no one from the government has come to see how we are coping. just across the road people have diarrhea. we are all helpless. >> reporter: like many preparing a daily meal is a delicate task. fuel and cooking oil is scarce. there little money coming in and they can't go to work. water is scarce. not all areas of the capitol and outlying districts are reconnected. saturday's quake damaged major utility infrastructure, which also included gas supplies electricity and the mobile and

land line telephone network. and it was only tuesday when some of that was partially reconnected. those that survived are queueing for tent sheeting. each gets a few meters. it's not enough but every family will find a way to use it. >> the first thing is the tent. at least they must get shelter. because of they the government is arranging -- it's getting delayed. it's already late. people are suffering, children are here old men are here and people are getting sick. >> reporter: while the public are grateful for anything authorities can provide, there is growing disquiet that more needs to be done and done soon before it spills over into anger. >> we are responsible to provide them the required things and required help required to them so these are our responsibility and we are doing our best but

in some places we could not done on time. that's why the people are becoming some kind of angriness. >> reporter: while 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. in other world news in yemen 12 houthi rebels have been killed in fighting with government forces a local commander was among those killed in a battle that took place in aden. three battles are being reported across the southern provinces. the saudi-lead coalition has bombed the airport runway in the capitol sana'a to prevent any iranian planes from landing. iran says the plane was carrying aid. the damage means it is no usable for any other flight bringing in

likely to play a crucial role in the future of the oil rich kingdom. the king's son has been appointed as new deputy crown prince. mohammed serves also as minister of defense and chief of the royal court. shakeups in saudi arabia are closely monitored by the world. the country is the world's biggest oil-producer. >> previously there was questions about the succession about the issue of the first generation becoming very old, all of them being in their 70s and their 80s. now we have a second generation mostly fairly young in their 50s, very well experienced. >> reporter: saudi's new leaders face mounting challenges like the growing instability in neighboring yemen. the saudi government has recently launched air strikes against shia houthi rebels. it accuses iran of using the

houthis to destabilize the region. and this is the man to seek international support for saudi foreign policy. saudi ambassador to the united states of america, has been appointed minister of foreign affairs, which was lead for four decades by this prince. >> in the past we were patient. we were -- today we lost our patience. things are happening too fast for our taste, and we believe that a strong government should take action timely and strongly and send right messages to people that saudi arabia is going to deal with every threat. >> reporter: saudi arabia is an important player in the middle east. it provides significant support for the syrian opposition. sunnis in iraq and lebanon. and saudi political sway spreads

across the arab world. in 2001, they were behind an arab league initiative offering peace with israel in exchange for a pullout from the areas controlled in 1967. hashem ahelbarra, al jazeera. nigeria's army says it has freed 200 girls and 93 people from boko haram. they were cued from camps in the armed group's strong hold. let's bring in ivan in abuja. any more details about the identity of these girls and women? >> reporter: in the last few seconds we have managed to speak directly to nigeria's military spokesperson about what is going on where these girls and women are, what their identities are, and what he has just explained to us is they are still waiting here in abuja for photographic

evidence and information about the identities of those individuals they have been promising all morning to publish photos of the girls and women who were rescued, but that -- the situation is difficult, because the forest is incredibly remote. the areas where these operations have taken place can only be accessed by air, there are no telecoms here. so it's not clear at this moment how long we could be waiting. it could be hours or into tomorrow. we simply don't know. and what people are anxious about are finding out whether within that 293 who have been rescued whether any of them are from the school. they are still going through this profiling and verification process, and some of the schoolgirls could be among those rescued. >> thank you very much. there's much more ahead here on al jazeera, japan's prime minister gets a special honor in the united states but will it

earthquake. more than 5,000 people have been confirmed dead. saudi arabia's king salomon has named his any view mohamed bin nayef as crown prince. and nigeria's army says it rescued nearly 300 women and girls from boko haram's last strong hold. and now sites like twitter were being used by the opposition to organize demonstrations. the media say they are being targeted and protests have been shut down the protests happened after the president announced he would be running for a third term. malcolm tell us what has been happening. >> reporter: well on this street right now, just in the last few minutes, it has been very tense.

there was a big crowd of protesters and the army were here trying to negotiate between the two groups. the army is quite respected here in burundi. the army asked the police to leave. the police didn't agree. so now, as you can see there is quite a large group of riot police moving back down the street. just a couple of minutes ago there were protesters here now they are down there, slowly moving in to try to disperse them are the police. let's just take a look at that. the police are walking up towards what is now a fairly small group of protesters. but as you were saying in the intro, one of the things that made the protesters very angry has been the closure of the

city's most popular radio station. we spoke to some of the journalists. let's take a look at that story now. >> reporter: covering the protests comes with its risks. this man sells the video he films to tv stations and international press agencies but on monday the government closed the country's post popular radio, and turned off transmitters of all independent stations. now journalists here are increasingly worried about their freedom to do their work. >> translator: this is a sign that the government is turning its back on the free press. throughout most of the country there are now only media that were created by the ruling party. >> reporter: the radio stations are crucial at a time like this. people in the city depend on them. across the whole country, people depend on it to know what the government is doing, what the politicians and activists are saying. it's normal to see people glued

to portable radio sets when the news is on. in radio public african or rpa was widely loved. when officials came to the headquarters to try to close it a crowd gathered to object. the government officials left but the next day, security agents closed it. the government says its live broadcasts from protests were threatening the public safety. this independent radio is still on air, but only in the capitol. management here are worried it may be next. the news room has been the height of activity since protests started on sunday but it's journalists they have been threatened by the armed party's youth wing when covering demonstrations. >> some people from the ruling party are seeking to silence everybody who is now -- who now

has a voice to say no to the president. >> reporter: both journalists and audiences here are used to a greater level of press freedom than some countries in the region. like many this man is defiant. >> translator: if the police beat me i do not care. i will stay on the ground to cover what is happening, for the world to see. that is what inspires me to do the job. >> reporter: but the political tension shows no sign of easing and many are worried of what may happen to bah run dee's press. now the protesters have started gathering again down there and that seems to keep happening throughout the city whenever the police clear them or move away the protesters disperse and come back on the side streets.

right now there is meeting going on between people from the ruling party and some of the opposition groups. we don't know exactly who is in there, but we have heard there is some dialogue going on to see if they can come to an agreement, but it is hard to imagine what that could be since it seems that the president is set on running against in the next election. and the opposition is strongly against that. meanwhile diplomats from the u.s. are on they way here to try to diffuse the situation. tensions could be reignited if things don't go well in the coming weeks, and if militia or former rebel fighters are mobilized and brought back on to the street. now for more analysis on the situation in bah rundy, we spoek

to alex who explains why the civil unrest could lead to another civil war. >> it's a very worrying and depressions situation. the crisis is probably one of the best-predicted crises in 2015. many of us ngo's the u.n. regional bodies have been predicting a crisis and trying to encourage the president not to go for a third term. unfortunately he and his party have decided that is the course of action they want to pursue so we're seeing the demonstrations and violence at the moment. this could deteriorate into something more serious than civil process. it could deteriorate into a civil war. civil war in burundiing ended in 2005 for the first period after

that bah rundy was fairly successful but all of that is gravely threatened now. australia has recalled its ambassador to indonesia after two of its citizens were executed by a firing squad. the execution went ahead despite an international campaign to stop it. >> reporter: nine families from all over the world gathered at this indonesian port to leave for a prison island for the last time before the executions. not only after, ambulances arrived with empty coffins a grim sign that despite all of the last-minute attempts from foreign goes to save the lives of their nationals, officials here had made up their mind. while a majority in indonesia support the death penalty, many have criticized the government for insisting on care rig out executions despite legal flaws. >> we have corrupt judges corrupt prosecutors, and it's

just the bigger issue, actually not about execution itself but then the government is now -- i feel that they use it as politics to cover the bigger problems of indonesia. >> reporter: after a last visit, relatives for mary jane prayed for a miracle. she was arrested with heroin. the case of this migrant worker from think philippines has lead to protest, because she has always maintained her innocent saying she was framed by a drug syndicate. her family returned from a tearful fair well. >> translator: my daughter is innocent. all she did was to to malaysia spent three days there, and flew to indonesia. she didn't know about the drugs. >> reporter: and their prayers were heard to australians four

nigerians and a brazilian, face a very different fate. they were shot by a firing squad for drug-related convictions. the united nations has urged indonesia to stop the executions saying their crimes do not warrant capital punishment. the executions went ahead. the government says they will serve as a strong deterrent in its war against drugs. but observers say they use the executions to show strength in a time of weakness. the president resumed executions after previous government's maintained an unofficial moratorium. in january 6th prisoners were executed. both countries recalled their ambassadors in response. indonesia says it's not worried about any international repercussions. protesters in mexico have attacked the education department in guerrero state,

they threw fire bombs and forced their way into the building. they want the president to step down and they are angry at government changes to the education system. many of the protesters are from the same teaching college where 43 students went missing from last september. police in the u.s. city of baltimore, say a nightly curfew has been respected by most people. there were some violence after protesters fought with police earlier in the night, but think rye roots triggered by the fatal injury of a black man in police custody were not repeated. the national guard are helping to restore order in the city after a series of mass protests. well the curfew has also affected the baltimore orioles major league baseball team. every game throughout the history of the league has been open to its fans but that's all about to change on wednesday. the orioles will play the

japan. >> i have been clear that tpp is good for american businesses and american workers. >> reporter: top white house officials believe the key-to-getting the agreement done with all 12 nations is that the u.s. and japan have to settle their disagreements first, based on u.s. exports of agricultural goods and cars. they are down playing any expectation here at the white house that they have been able to come to any sort of an agreement on that. >> translator: on the bilateral outstanding issues we welcome the fact that significant progress was made. we will continue to cooperate to lead the tpp talks through its last phase. >> reporter: some analysts say the dae -- delays are pretty telling

from china and mongolia dust that passes directly into the bloodstream can trigger heart problems and strokes. since 2012 the air quality has been getting steadily worse. and seoul's metropolitan government septembers that as much as 70% of the problem is home grown. >> translator: it's mainly floating dust disturbed by human activity or vehicular emissions. >> reporter: the city has a plan to convert more buses from diesel to natural gas, to restrict certain areas of seoul to electric or hybrid cars only. but coal-fired power stations are on the increase. this one went from four to six furnaces, soon it will be eight. in all 13 new plants are to be built in the next six years. what is happening here is part of a deliberate decision by south korea's government to expand its coal-fired energy production at a time when

seoul's air quality as been getting worse. green peace recently took its message to the wallsover the plant, saying south korea should be reducing not expanding its reliance on coal. >> translator: the entire world is moving towards that trend, and korea is going to the other way, even though the number of premature deaths linked to pollution is rising. >> reporter: south korea is pledging to reduce its carbon emissions by 30% by 2020. >> translator: we are trying to minimize the use of coal-power stations and demand that they reduce pollutants that are emitted even if it is more expensive, so there is a conflict of interest. >> reporter: for all of the efforts to tackle the program, seoul-its may have to get used to living with dirty air for sometime to come.
