s on this edition of "inside story." watch us next time. in washington, i'm ray suarez. >> announcer: this is al jazeera. from al jazeera's headquarters in doha. this is coming up in 60 minutes - nepal - the death toll inching higher. the flow of aid slow saudi-led air strikes striking houthi positions in yemen yemen. expected to top talks in riyadh. in the nigerian town boko

haram controlled. hundreds were killed. plus - great art and views. one of america's expensive modern art collections gets a new home. let's begin with nepal. where thousands are in desperate need of aid, five days after a devastating earthquake. 5,492 people are now confirmed dead with many missing. bad weather is making the search and rescue harder. this was the scene in kathmandu. police saying a power shortage means they haven't used heavy equipment. there's a shortage of helicopters. nepal's government is appealing for more of them. people are desperate to get out of some areas. and one case swamping a team trying to fly out.

many don't want to stay in the capital. thousands queueing at a bus station to get out. they are worried about aftershocks and the spread of disease. let's go to our correspondent in the capital. we have seen in the last 24 hours protests scuffles people frustrated. is aid getting in to people quicker now? >> it's not getting here quick enough. that is the answer we are hearing from most of the people we have been speaking with today. let me show you some of the faces of the residents in this neighbourhood. what we found is a sense of resignation. people that are far too accustomed at seeing bodies pull outside out of the rubble.

the fact of the matter is even though aid is coming into the country, it's not distributed efficiently enough to not just the other areas of the country, areas in kathmandu, that is fuelling frustration. if it's this bad here how bad must it be for the rest of nepalese in the harder hit areas, where it's harder to hit. even at times when there's not been a devastating earthquake. >> get the crim news there has been good news. tell us more about the miraculous rescue. >> yes, there was a dramatic rescue a few hours ago. a 15-year-old boy was found alive and pulled out of the rubble. onlookers cheered and they were happy when the boy was dazed stunned from the ordeal was pulled out of the rubble.

we have not heard more details, but we are trying to work that out and we'll get it to you as soon as we hear. the momentary parts of hope that happens when you hear about the rescues, it will almost be miraculous. it's not enough to sustain the mood here. it is a sense of despair that is growing. we have seen a cycle that went from grief to anger and a resignation that it will get worse, not just when it went from aid delivered, but bodies pulled out. there was a sense of relief when this happened. the folks that i spoke to hadn't heard about it but the folks i spoke to said they'd need more

rescue stories before they feel it would get better. >> thank you so much. >> saudi arabia's newly appoint foreign minister is attending his first summit. the wore an yemen to dominate that summit in riyadh. we go to mohammed in riyadh. if you read the editorials they talk about a series of meetings in which the arabs are expected to unify their voice for a stronger say in regional hoard. is that expected out of this? >> yes, this meeting is exactly about that. the g.c.c. leaders are going met in - on 5 may. now these are the foreign ministers hammering out the points and coordinating the objectives in that summit.

yemen is on the agenda. not only because yemen have campaign going on in the first place, ending more than a week ago, and the air strikes are continuous. results are to be scene. the foreign ministers will discuss that point. it's a preparatory meeting. leaders when they met will discuss points on 13th of may with president obama when they met him in camp david, maryland in the united states. it's important meeting and the summit held every year is not preceded by a foreign minister meeting. it's consultative and doesn't have a final communique or an

agenda. there's particular interest and focus in this summit. they want the foreign ministers to come up with point to discuss in the summit next week and the camp david with the u.s. president president barack obama, and one major or point in the discussions with the president. iran and the concerns on the minds of g.c.c. leaders. the rolls and recent agreement, framework agreement on the nuclear issue in iran with american and g.c.c. counties. g.c.c. is concerned that iran will be given a leeway to continue the nuclear proliferation policy and be given the opportunity to interfere in the affairs of the region they want the u.s. president to give them reassurance that that will not happen that the u.s. will be hear to protect allies in the gulf. we are a waiting for the meeting

to begin. some ministers arrived. it will be 1-2 hours consultation before the summit next week. >> from riyadh thanks for that: as the war drags on in yemen, houthi fighters are proving to be a give foe. backing is giving them an edge. there is proof iranians are on the ground. >> reporter: this forced hundreds of thousands from their home intense fighting from the pro-government groups and houthis. this is in the airport in the south of aden. people who live here say houthis and militia men took their homes, accusing them of placing heavy weapons in the areas. >> translation: they took over

the civilian residences and shell places they know women and children gather. most children fled. a few are left. the houthis shelled homes and robbed the people. >> reporter: tribes me in aden say they are under constant sniper fire by the houthis. yemeni said the houthis are backed by iran and hezbollah. something denied. >> in 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. >> reporter: the yemeni vice president says there's proof. >> let me tell you the yemeni minister of defense has been kidnapped in an operation led by an iranian. >> the saudi-led coalition is

bombing targets under houthi control. the strikes and the blockades are also worsening the humanitarian situation in the already impoverished country. well the battle for control of yemen is focussed on four main fronts in the southern port of aden. houthi rebels joined forces with an army garrison loyal to the former president ali abdullah saleh. they are fighting local armed groups backed by the saudi coalition. in taiz those forces are locked in street battles with pro-government forces. at the same time houthi rebels they have been fighting tribesman and local groups. earlier i spoke with a houthi supporter and activist in sanaa, and he told me the houthis gained ground in aden and tiaz.

>> till this moment they have not lost ground. they have gained with the yemeni army and many areas. they have secured, and yesterday they secured a district in tiaz. >> yemen's foreign minister tells al jazeera hezbollah fighters and iranian experts are on the ground supporting houthi forces. can you confirm this? >> this is all lies. they have not got anybody who is from hezbollah. they use the propaganda making it look like the war is between sunni, not the yemeni army and terrorists. >> are you saying that the person who led the operation to abduct the minister of defence was, in fact, an iranian, are you saying that is not true.

>> no no. definitely not true. there's no prove the other side has to prove it. >> several human rights forces say houthi fighters are endangering human life and torturing civilians. is that going on? >> there is no as they say, no torturing. if there is fighting in cities like aden there'll be some civilians caught in the fight. it's hard to avoid. >> sorry to interrupt you it they say torturing. a report from amnesty international says harrowing testimony collected by amnesty experts reveal members of the houthi armed group is torturing protesters. are you saying it's wrong.

>> no, most of the informs is approaching and interests no clear evidence. >> they are saying it's collected by amnesty international experts. let me read you this excerpt from a human rights report april 1st, saying forces known as houthis and other opposition forces appear to be putting civilians at unnecessary risks. are they wrong as well? >> everybody has a slogan on his gown is a houthi -- gun is a houthi. that's what they consider is a houthi. if anything happens, it could be someone who wants to make others think he's a houthi that's what they want to reach. but most human rights violations is al qaeda in yemen.

>> human rights says houthi forces may have completed summary executions is that correct? >> they have never executed anyone. they are one of the best i think in the world. in keeping prisoners. they are ot only force. prisoners go with the private camps, like they did with soldiers across the country. it has not happened anywhere else in the world. >> more here on the al jazeera newshour. 40 years since the end of the vietnam war. we report on how the conflict is haunting american foreign policy why working 12 hours a day seven days a week is not enough to pull some south africans out of poverty face to face ahead of the richest fight in boxing history. we hear from manny pacquioa and

mayweather in las vegas. >> the nigerian army rescued more women than girls in the north of the country, and the latest from ynonne ndedge. what are the military telling you about this operation? >> well when speaking we have gotten more information about what is going on and what they are saying this time is 160 individuals have been rescued from boko haram in the forest, considered to be the last stronghold. in this particular operation 100 children were arrested and 60 female adults. during the fighting military are saying one woman was killed, one soldiers, eight female adults were injured and four soldiers

in a rare interview, the military spokesman has been giving us further details about operations against boko haram in the area. >> there are hostages who are there. and with more information about intelligence relevant has been finally useful. at the moment they have been moved from the forest. we are trying to seek relief from the trauma of living in the forest that long. and additionally there's heat in the forest. a vast portion. and a lot of effort is on. much in the forest. >> now, it's not possible to independently verify what the

military is saying about the operations against boko haram in the north-east. because access to the forest and the area has been incredibly restricted. it's been difficult to access certain areas. the military is promising today, and releasing photographic i rescue it they tend to release to the public and media today. >> thank you for that, ynonne ndedge al jazeera has been given exclusive access to a town in northern nigeria, abandoned by boko haram, they were pushed back by coalition forces working to clear the armed group from the area. an area where boko haram swept through and destroyed is damasac. hundreds of bodies have been found there. >> reporter: this is the town of damasak in the north-east.

boko haram fighters occupied this down and killed many civilians. soldiers and residents say 200 decomowesing bodies were removed from here. more bodies on the streets and in homes have been bur ride. >> translation: this is where the executions took place, where civilians were executed. bodies were taken and buried. >> reporter: survivors say the occupation of the up to was brutal. >> translation: when boko haram was here, we couldn't go even to the market. we were like prisoners. people that fled are returning, because the city is safe. >> reporter: this is the reality authorities are waking up to after boko haram fighters were pushed out by nigerian troops and partners from niger and chad. coalition troops have been in charge for more than a month. damn as abbing is a -- damasak

was a largely deserted town. the battle to recapture the town was fierce coming at a cost. >> translation: we were faced with a lot of resistance. we lost men and managed to clear the zone. today civilians are starting to feel safer. and coming back to the homes. having said that. the mission was to stay and protect the city. forces should be coming to take control. we are here. >> reporter: the threat remains, as troops continue operations in the north-east. >> reporter: the nigerian army launched a raid on the hide out. they rescued 293 girls and women. >> reporter: despite the military victories, boko haram fighters retook some areas liberated. an indication that the boko haram threat is ever present

vietnam is marking 40 years since the end of the war and the reunification of the country. more than 6,000 soldiers and veterans parading throughthe city formerly saigon the capital of south vietnam. the fall of saigon in 1975 marking the end of america's decades long involvement in the country. it's estimated 3 million vietnamese and 58,000 americans died in the conflict. malcolm cook is a senior fellow at the institute of south-east asian studies and joins us from singapore. good to have you with u.s from the u.s. and western perspective, vietnam war is something of a haunting memory impacting human policy. from the vietnamese perspective it's a little different. it's a long struggle to free themselves from outside

domination. >> yes, vietnam's whole history, 900 years has been about trying to stop foreign powers from intervening in vietnam, china, france the united states and others. and reunification came 20 years, but ended western colonizition an of vietnam well. a few things to celebrate today. if we go back to a time where the world was divided between two powers, there was another line movement. to what extent did other countries see the vietnamese victory against the u.s. in vietnam as something of a turning point against the global struggle of colonialism. >> there's those that shaw that

vietnam was a small country with bare foot soldiers defeating a maritime south-east asia the vietnam victory was a worry and led to regional cooperation to stop the spread of communism. >> how about the failure of what is referred to as some of these anticolonial and national liberation movements gaining factry and they face failure in how the countries develop. is that a theme that vietnamese and others reflect on? >> i think so. particularly the younger vietnamese that don't have the feeling of the war and colonisation. and the movement in the case of china hoping up was a

recognition by the communist party that they needed to seek popular legitimacy between economic reform and growth. >> thank you for your analysis of that. while the u.s. army waged a war in vietnam, americans grew fed up with politicians and a mounding death toll. public opinion turned against them. we spoke to a historian, and the effect it had on america's foreign policy. >> i'm rick i'm an historian. in a certain sense, america's haunting by the vietnam war shaped our history, almost more than any other event. we were gun shy afterwards. 1973 after the american military participation was over and we

airlifted supplies to israel americans were worried that a couple of dozen person that we had to unload supplies may be killed, and we could be in another vietnam, the scrum in people's minds. >> in 1980, ronald reagan said america suffered the vietnam syndrome. ever since then the back and forth between rhett sense to use force. and the need that america's power has been innocent is a key debate in politics. >> after the first golf warring. president bush said we kicked the sinned o roam and that

brought on a string of interventions. and the second wore. >> today's conservatives are committed to the idea of projecting the military force abroad. and there'slile place in the party for anyone that disagrees. the judged if it weren't for the libbersals at home whom we are tying the hands of the military everything would be all right. the idea if america is left alone, there's nothing we can't aconceive. it's when we try to bin the hearts and minds of people. we create people willing to take up arms and people fable and willing to weaken the strategic position. that's the cost of forgetting

the lessons of the vietnam war a spokesman for vladimir putin since north korea's leader kim jong un will not attend celebrations in moscow marking the end of the war. kim had accepted an invitation to the may 9th victory day. it would have been kim's first foreign trip since taking power. may the 9th is the 70th anniversary of the russian victory over nazi germany 150 people have been injured in fighting against police and striking teachers in southern brazil. police fired bullets, fare gas and sun grenades. that's where leaders were debating cuts to teacher's pension plans. the state government says protesters used iron rods fireworks, sticks and stones to breach police lines.

richard is here with the weather. it may be clearing up a bit? >> that's a trend. when you goal with cl, it can change at the drop of a hat. that will continue to happen across the region. generally there'll be an improving swigs. these shots come from the base camp. taken in nod bat conditions. it changes from day-to-day. it's not a bad time weather wise. this shows awe during the latter parts of the day the showers die away. much of the shower activity is confined to eastern parts of the country, but it will be a case that when the showers come along, visibility will be down and there'll be hazards. showers cleaning away. daytime temperatures up to the

mid 30s. environmental hazard of a different kind. wildfires are affecting ukraine, the area north of kiev near to the chen obel disaster. it's been breezy over the last couple of days. there's no rain it looks like the winds will die down. >> thank you so much. still ahead on the newshour - switching sides in syria, how shifting allegiances are giving the upper hand. >> a neighbourhood in baltimore where the spirit is creating more than just jobs and we'll tell you why this game made m.l.b. history for all the wrong reasons. details in sport.

you're watching the al jazeera newshour, a reminder of the top stories. a young boy has been rescued five days. 4,500 are dead. more are missing. the u.n. launched a $415 million appeal for aim, saying people in rural areas are in need of help saudi arabia's newly appointed foreign minister is attending a gulf summit the war in yemen is set to be the focus

of the meeting a u.s. diplomat is in the east african nation of burundi to stop civil unrest. protesters are in their fifth day, beginning when the president announced they would run for a third term. live for malcolm webb. he's in the capital. any sign that the president may give in to the protests? >> no in a meeting with a u.s. special envoy, a u.s. government official was sent to burundi. the protests on the street are illegal, but they said the opposition would be free to enter the elections scheduled for end of june. protests are continuing. we came from an area where there's a large alt of protesters police tear gas and rocks. protesters were cheering "u.s.a., u.s.a.", they are safer

because the u.s. sent their envoy, making this harder for police or others to mistreat them if the u.s. is showing interest. a few hours ago there was damage. this car was burnt by the protesters. they thought the car belonged to a person belonging to the youth wing of the party. the u.n. human rights chief said they were militia, and were going around the country with impunity. the government says they haven't been out on the streets. the owner of that car was from the youth wing and they had a gun. that's why they targeted the car, set fire to it and destroyed it. >> what does it mean for the elections? it's a disturbed situation. the presidential election is at the end of june.

sorry, the end of the month after next. if the streets are like this it will not be possible. if militia are involved. no election. if the government keeps control, it may go ahead. opposition says it would be meaningless, and not free and fair. we spoke to two prominent leaders who said they want participate in the election if pierre nkurunziza is running. they say it's against the constitution, if the agreement is scrapped. the election is meaningless. the government says it's the ruling party and the president's supporters say the election is the only way to resolve the crisis and a peaceful election will lay the matter to rest bringing a peaceful conclusion to everyone we'll have to leave it there. thank you very much. malcolm webb syrian government forces hit

parts of idlib and aleppo with barrel bombs killing civilians, the government lost key parts of idlib province to rebels. forcing them back. more from caroline malone. >> reporter: these women and children appear to have been held by rebel groups in syria since august 2013. there are about 90 of them alleging to come from a government stronghold. rebels want a prisoner swapped. >> please go quickly to negotiations. >> fighters made protests towards the area this week. the government retaliated on districts filled with civilians, there's a new alliance of groups gaining ground on idlib. >> they were surprised really, were not prepared and use rah

we estimate the numbers at 15,000. they have been working professionally, and using double tactics. using one, guerilla warfare, trap et cetera. and the other, like a tactical army they had tanks and armoured vehicles and artillery. >> the government intensified attacks on rebel controlled areas of aleppo province and aleppo city wants a capital rich in business, and is now being reduced to rubble. outside the capital, people are vulnerable to attacks from the government. bashar al-assad's forces have the advantage of air power, even in areas where they lost on the ground. let's look at one place where the syrian government lost ground idlib province. it is completely under the

control of a new alliance of anti-government forces called the army of conquest. latakia province the strong hold of bashar al-assad and his family is next door. it's made up of five groups including al nusra front. some were fighting each other. it is different from islamic state of iraq and levant or i.s.i.l. and holds another province that is raqqa in the north-east. the free syrian army groups hold areas along syria's southern border with jordan. joining us from beirut is a senior analyst with the international crisis group. good to have you with us. who is the army of victory or conquest of the which groups are we talking about here? as you mentioned, it's a range,

dominated by islamist groups opposing the regime or i.s.i.s. it reflect the rebels in the north. the most important groups in the alliance is a salah fate group with no links, it's not a trans transnational group, it's an islamist group. with you have another al qaeda affiliate. many fighters probably are not tied idea logically to that. and you have a nan extremist group, which we could approximate similar to the muslim brotherhood in ideology. these are the droppingest groups. -- strongest groups. >> we have seen this conflict ebb and flow.

there seems a lot of excitement about the fall of idlib. is it a game changer? i wouldn't say the fall of the city was a game changer. it is a bit more of a strategic location it was a signal of rebel momentum. what you see is a result of an accumulative affect. it has a high attrition late, and kept replace fighters that it loses. in parts of country it's affiliated on allies. idlib is not part of the country with strategic importance to islam or hezbollah. they are investing less.

they do not have the man power to do so. >> what is prevailing in areas like idlib and other areas captured by the new alliance. is there an order and more chaos. how important it that for setting a model for syrians that there can be something viable that can function. >> it will prove important. it's too early to judge the performance because the regime heavily bombarded the areas. partly in order to instill the level of collective punishment. so we have not really seen what rebel government in the areas look like. there's agreements among the

groups. thaws far the role has been limited. it's too early to judge. >> we'll have to keep our eyes on this one. thank you so much south africa's approximately jacob zuma says he'll address the root causes of attaches on workers, including unemployment immigration and poverty. charles stratford reports from johannesburg. >> reporter: this man has five brothers, parents and three children to support. he's the only one in the family with a job. he works 12 hours a day, seven days a week as a security guard in a johannesburg neighbourhood. he lives in the township of alexandra, a poor area of the city. >> translation: life is very rough. more than 40 of us share a toilet and a tent. the $300 a month is not enough to support me and my family. >> reporter: that works out more than $1.25 a day, putting him

above the extreme poverty line, according to the west bank. world bank. with all this attendance and the rising cost of living, he can't afford to feed himself. he can't afford public transport either. every day he has to walk three hours to and from work. a world bank report says half of population live in townships or informal settlements like this one. places like this are home to 60" -- 60% of the unemployed. some of the worst violence against foreign migrants happens in neighbourhoods like these. the government says it will tackle what it describes as the root causes of the problem, poverty and unemployment. analysts say the government failed so far. talking about strikes or

is 53% of the population. the numbers of people unemployed is higher than 1994, the end of apartheid. the level of protests is increasing, whether we are talking about strikes or community protests. the basic problems are not being addressed by the government, which is unpopular, out of touch with ordinarily people. >> inock describes how he feels when he walks through the neighbourhood he works. >> i know the people we work for are rich. it's painful to return to my place in alexandria. i have no choice, it's a better life than a life of crime. >> for him and others like him, a change in post-apartheid south africa is yet to come at least 60 people have been arrested at a rally in new york. the group was protesting against the treatment of a black man who suffered a fatal spinal injury

in police custody. freddie gray died earlier this month in baltimore. the nightly curfew has been imposed after a series of riots the unrest in baltimore brought some underlying issues affecting america's black community to the surface. one is that few black people own their own businesses. gabriel elizonda met some members of the community getting positive results beyond the business bottom line. >> reporter: this person is teaching young people to print designs on t-shirts. in a rough neighbourhood of baltimore he runs a programme not only about making programme, but keeping kids off the streets. and hopes that some day they'll become business owners themselves. as many as 30 young people are part of the programme at any one time. he tries to set an example, he owns a store paced in the community that many of the kids

are from. >> our goal is to help empower the young people because of resources they can. so they can provide for themselves. >> reporter: six out of 10 that live in baltimore are black. three out of 10 businesses are owned by black people. a study looked at data and found areas with african-americans were increasing business ownership, there were positive results beyond the business bottom line. the growth was linked to a reduction in black youth violence and there was a host of reasons for it rhymairily because black business owners are seen as role models in the community. >> it creates jobs and opportunities. >> omar direct the entrepreneurial development center at morgan state university. >> reporter: what are the key challenges african-americans face when opening a business. >> having access to resources. access to couple is big, whether

it's from family friends - some say fools - or a venture capitalist capitalist. >> people do not want to be seen as living in a hopeless blight part of town that needs outside help. >> we need investment in the community's capacity instead of having many of the government agencies trying to manager disaster, that's what they are doing, managing zser and the data produced on the outcomes have not been transformative. that is why they learn, in hopes of owning the stores they might want to shop in. still to come on the newshour. are you smarter than the average earn football player. ahead of the draft, we look at the i.q. test teams use to select the best and smartest young players.

playing in front of a stadium of 46,000 empty seats. the game took place against fans hut out after recent violence on the streets. players tried to make it look like business as usual, one signing a fake auto graph and taking a bow to the non-existened crowd. baltimore won the first game behind doors, 8-2, chris hitting a 3-1 homer. >> it hit me when i made exact. you could here it and when you are around the bases and the cheers you here from outside the stadium. you know it's a weird feeling. i'll take any home run i can get, any time i can get it. >> al jazeera's tom ackerman went to hear from the fans locked out of that game.

you couldn't ask for better weather for a game. but this was all the tush out, and outside the gates of camden yards. when the players showed up, fans were locked out. >> major league baseball said its decision to shut out the public was from an abundance of caution after the street riot over the death of an unarmed black man while in custody. the oriel fans found it un unconvincing unconvincing. >> the major and police said people demanding from thugs. >> the thugs are determining whether we can go to a ball game. whether or not people in the city can live a normal life. businesses that depend on the sports crowd were nearry empty. they had to watch the gay on tv.

the shut out means a loss of revenue and jobs. >> under normal game day we'd have 34 employees working, 12 contracts, security personnel. now we have two security guys here and 10 employee, and that's probably eight too many. >> there's more bad news for the vendors. the orioles home series this weekend has been moved to tampa bay, out of safety concerns. the memphis grizzlies are through to the second round of the n.b.a. play-off after beating the portland trailblazers. mark scored 26 points crucial as his side won 99-93. grizzlies reached the semifinal, taking on the golden state. >> tampa bay lightening are in the second round of the n.h.l. play-off winning game 7 against the detroit red wings 2-0. braden opened scoring for tampa. stralman went unchallenged

n.f.l. used it since 1970, and is used to measure an ability to think, learn solve problems and follow instructions. all vital skills. it's a 50 question, 12-minute exam and vary in difficulty. i'll show you an easy one. look at the row of numbers, find which cams next 8, 4, 2, 1, half, quarter, and the answer - an eighth. quarterbacks like eli manning scored 39 out of 50. other positions, like wide receivers, the guys that catch his passes were lower. manning is so far won two super bowls for the new york giant. the test doesn't always get it right. dan merino scored 15, nine below the quarterback average, but a year later was named the n.f.l.'s most valuable player
