had been looking, wondering if the boy would be alive, that they cheered when the boy, who looked dazed, stunned after he was pulled back. they feared because he survived the ordeal and that then the boy was whisked to the hospital. we are trying to get details from local officials and family members, and hope to get that to you. we talked in the last few hours about how the rescue is a moral boost for such a devastated group of people especially in kathmandu. if you look behind me we see onlookers. this is a different part of the city where a building stood. now it's rubble as is much of the surrounding neighbourhood. i asked the folks if they heard about the rescue. they haven't. therein is a dilemma of the last couple of days. the government would like for the miraculous rescues to be

more of a moral booster, it doesn't seem to be taken that way. what i heard from a lot of folks is an eerie resignation. they'll hear of more bodies coming out of the rebels. i want to show you what is going on behind us. this is the site of the power. most collapsed. there's a bulldozer on the site. it's been there for a couple of hours. we have aid workers digging who have been digging by hand the rubble. i spoke to a police officer a short while ago, and he said this is a sad mission. they are worried they'll find more bodies. we have been here all day. it's clear there is a sense of death. what they are digging for is bodies. they found a body a pair of

shoes, but not the body we are told from officials, that there are dozens of bodies under the pile of rubble in the days to come. it's a grim scene. there are moments of hope in the city in the country, what we have come across is a lot of fear that this is only going to get worse in the near future. >> thank you so much. >> for syria, at least 26 people have been killed in aleppo in government barrel bomb attacks. activists say dozens were injured in and around syria's largest city. forces intensified bombing. targetting schools and markets. military air strikes continue in a suburb in idlib. several houses have been destroyed. the city was captured by an

on the ground supporting houthi forces. can you support this? >> this is all lies. they have never got anybody from iran or hezbollah. they use the propaganda making it look like the war is between sunni and shia. it is outside. and terrorist across the country. >> are you saying that the person who led the operation to abduct the minister of defense, was in iran. are you saying that is not true. >> it's not true. they were fighters and there is no - i think there's proof that the other side has to prove it. >> several human rights organizations say houthis are in danger of human life. they are torturing civilians, is that going on?

anyone. enough humiliation and depression. we can't take the tyranny. >> reporter: the saudi-led coalition say that is why they are bombing places. the blockades is worsening the situation in the impoverished country. houthi fighters insist they'll resist what they call yemen's internal favors. the takeover is helping other hard-line groups such as al qaeda. >> translation: we keep hearing that the houthi armed group claim that they are fighting al qaeda. they are fighting the yemeni people not al qaeda. al qaeda came to yemen taking over some areas because of instability and lack of security the conflict is affecting almost all of yemen. in taiz the fighting disrupted water and power. there's little food and ardly
