mall la la yousafzai. we begin in nepal where thousands of people are still in desperate need of aid five days after a devastating earthquake. officials say 5,844 people are now confirmed dead many more are still missing. bad weather is making the search and rescue effort much harder. this was a seen in the capitol, kathmandu, a power shortage means they can't use heavy equipment. and nepals government is appealing for more help. people are desperate to get out of some areas. many don't even want to stay in the capitol, thousands have queued at a bus station to get out. they are worried about after

shocks and the spread of disease. before you tell us about the aid effort we have heard of another survivor being pulled out of the rebel. >> yes, it broke around an hour ago, search and rescue teams and the military managed to locate a women located under the rebel in the kathmandu area. what we know is that that rescue is ongoing at the moment. she has not been resurfaced from -- from that rebel. and so we don't know what sort of condition she is in. but apparently she is able to communicate with the outside world, and i think as soon as we get more information under the exact circumstances and the progress of that rescue we will certainly let you know. >> sure. this is certainly good news when you consider the aid effort and

the criticism that there has been about the government's slow response. tell us about how this aid effort is progressing, and whether aid is able to finally reach remote areas. >> reporter: well aid takes so many forms. there's the food and shelter, which we have been discussing which is still in great need across the city and the earthquake zone. but more -- more so this appeal for helicopters and for orthopedic surgeons. the medicaled they is required is immense. because the injuries that has been suffered by those that experienced the quake is quite severe. i was at the main military medical helicopterer in the day where helicopters are landing around the clock, bringing in people from the earthquake sewn beyond kathmandu, and they have suffered serious injuries, internal injuries one woman had a broken back and they were

trying to deal with her. i met the man in charge of the coordination of the medical teams, not just in the capitol but the surrounding areas. come in from international communities, and this is what he had to say about the injuries and the equipment that is required to try to help kneenepal through this process. >> most of the buildings are still damaged. we still need probably some tents and maybe some [ inaudible ] that is required for the surgeries. we are still in the process to get that and of course the -- a place to keep these patients and the transportation back to their homes. so that's what we need now. and in the remote areas, people are requiring food water, and -- like tents to live.

because most of their houses are destroyed. >> reporter: it's a real appeal shelter, because if they don't have shelter, they are going to fall ill. we are getting news from the inspector general of an arrest of two men who were alleged to have spread rumors that there was another quake. you can only imagine the type of nervousness there is here in the capitol, and any such news gets people very worried, and also the authorities get very annoyed by these things but two male suspects were arrested who are alleged to have spread rumors that another quake was on the way. for the moment that's the update. >> thank you much. while new video has emerged of the moment the magnitude 7.8 earthquake truck on saturday. a tourist captured this video in

the ancient temple city about 13 kilometers from the capitol, and as you can see filled with hindu temples. it is known as nepal's cultural gem, but many of the heritage buildings have now been damaged or destroyed. well as we have seen many people in nepal are still suffering days after the devastating earthquake but some are trying to move on with their lives as well. faiz jamil visited people in and around kathmandu. >> reporter: this hindu wedding is taking place just five days after the earthquake struck. it was initially canceled because many of the guests were sleeping outside in tents. there's no open celebration here today. but the couple decided to go ahead with the skilled down ceremony today. >> we came here just for wedding, and even though we

canceled the wedding, we [ inaudible ] so for us to get things going, we decided to hold this wedding. >> reporter: these tents really only provide token protection from the cold at night. they are trying to move on, but it's hard to do that when one can't even go home. >> translator: i would like to move on but i can't. i'm confused. how will i manage the expenses? that's very perplexing. >> reporter: the terrain makes living here easy even on normal days. but this is a credit to how resilient these people really are. now to yemen. the yemeni government says backing from iran is giving the houthis an edge. and one official says there is now proof the iranians are on the ground. >> reporter: aden has become a

vital battleground in the war in yemen. pro-government fighters say they are gaining strategic territory at the airport. but beyond that people say it's the houthis who seem to be gaining ground. say they the rebels are shelling their neighborhoods, and pushing people from their homes. they also stormed a hospital forcing medical staff to flee and leaving people in need of care behind. >> translator: they continue to shell places where they know women and children gather. most people have fled and only a few are left in aden. the houthis shelled our homes and robbed the people. >> reporter: but a houthi spokesman denies allegations of targeting civilians and torture. aden is a port city in the south. it's location is important because it is near the gulf of aden and offers easy access to the red sea. it became a base of operations for president hadi after he was forced to leave the capitol

earlier this year. despite weeks of air strikes, the houthis still control large parts of yemen, and they are well armed. the government says iran and hezbollah are partnering with the rebels. >> let me tell you that the yemeni minister of defense has been kidnapped in an operation lead by an iranian. >> reporter: according to the u.n. more than 1,000 people have died since the war began in late march. about 12 million people desperately need food and water. numbers that will only grow as the fighting continues. natasha ghoneim, al jazeera. earlier i spoke to a spokesman for the political wing of the houthi movement and their official spokesman. he denied occasions that the rebels were targeting civilians. >> translator: this is not true.

the popular committees and the army are progressing in aden in ta'izz, and this is ongoing. the army and the popular committee never loses. >> with you are progressing as you say, is it perhaps because you are getting help from the iranians. >> no no. because yemen is under siege, as you know and there is also the aerial bombardment and shelling. despite that the army and the popular committees achieved the progress -- >> how? how are they achieving this progress? how? how if they are not getting any help from outside? >> translator: of course the aggression forces depend on america and the u.s. -- >> you are not responding to my question. you say that you are making progress in ta'izz and aden and i want to know how that is possible. f you are not getting any help

from outside. i'm asking you about the houthi forces right now. >> translator: as i told you, we face the coalition forces and we face the supporters of hadi al-qaeda and isil not because we are so strong but the all mighty is helping us. >> more than a thousand people have died now since the war began, the rights group amnesty international has revealed that members of your group are torturing protesters in order to dissuade dissent, human rights watch also says that houthi forces have used lethal force against demonstrationers in places like ta'izz just a few weeks ago. is this order coming from the leadership? >> translator: this is not true. demonstrations took to the streets in ta'izz and in other cities. against -- and al jazeera has

heard these demonstrations. anyone in saudi arabia anyone in qatar who is against the war will be arrested. >> but you are not answering my question because i want to quote this from human rights watch. you say it's not true but hue plan rights watch says in ta'izz on march 24th houthi fighters fired without warning on a crowd of over a thousand people killing and fatally injuring at least four of them. either you sanctioning these abuses or you are not aware and you are not in control of your fighters on the ground. >> translator: this is not true. >> what is not true? what is not true? >> translator: this accusation. matter of fact they were militants -- matter of fact there were militants in ta'izz. we have militant confrontations. they are still there -- >> but human rights watch and amnesty international say that

torture -- these are credible rights groups -- say that torture is being committed, shouldn't you at least investigate these incidence, and perhaps even take action against members of your group who are committing these abuses? are you investigating what these rights groups are saying? >> translator: yes, for sure. our opponents have accused us of killing in sana'a, but they have accused us of killing only one demonstrator. we asked the family of the one who lost his life for some investigation, and to move him to the hospital but they refused and he was buried by his family. yes, this guy was detained by the committees -- the popular committees, but later on they declared his death due to claims of torture. if they are confident, he should go to the forensic. there's much more ahead on

the al jazeera news hour. we'll take you inside the nigeria town boko haram once controlled and where witnesses say hundreds of people were killed. plus -- >> i'm scott heidler in vietnam where 90 million people of this nation are celebrating the reunification and end of the war. but some are still suffering from agent orange. and face-to-face ahead of the richest fight in boxing history, we hear from pacquiao and mayweather. ♪ first a senior u.s. diplomat has warned burundi's president against oppressing protesters. he triggered the demonstrations after announcing he would run for a third term in office

which defied the two-term limit. malcolm webb has more now from the capitol. >> reporter: there's still no sign that either the president or the protesters will back down. protesters continued in various suburbs of the city. earlier this car was burned and destroyed by protesters. people say it belonged to a member of the ruling party's youth wing. they said he had a gun, and that's why they destroyed the car. the government says it's youth aren't out on the street. they denied that they are here. two prominent opposition politicians have said they won't be taking part -- potential presidential candidates -- they said they won't be taking part in the elections if the president is still running, because they say that means the election will be meaningless. for more let's speak to a researcher on conflict prevention and risk analysis.

she joins us live from the kenyan capitol. there are fears that these protests could be hyped into an ethnic conflict as we saw during the civil war in burundi and also in the 1990s in neighboring rwanda. do you share those fears? do you think there could be another civil war in burundi? >> i think you really have to look at the political context in which this protest is taking place. we also have to remember that last election you did have post-election violence immediately after the legislative elections, and a lot of the violence took place between 2010 and 2012, actually took place between two groups. so i think here we see continuation of political violence that have unfortunately taken in some of the messages from pro[ inaudible ]

supporters. but we need to remember that the snl has not yet entered the protests or a lot of the confrontations that are going on. but it could change the balance. so i think we need to look at it with caution. is it really an ethnic conflict? there is a dimension, but it's mostly a political confrontation. >> we hear reports of some radio stations actually stoking ethnic tensions. there is a cause for concern, isn't there? >> absolutely. absolutely. i think you cannot forget the legacy of ethnic violence that burundi has had to come out of in the past decade. and i find this very unfortunately, because what you had in burundi was a country that unlike -- unlike rwanda where it's now forbidden to talk about ethnicity, they are trying

to put all ethmoiditis behind them, in burundi to be able to confident in power-sharing agreements that gives protections to minorities and this in the past -- for probably 48 to 72 hours, what you have had from those radio stations we need to remember that proopposition radio stations have been shut down but the pro-government radio stations are fuelling elements that have been left behind in burundi. so i think it's quite unfortunate that there is this shift. >> the -- the opposition doesn't show any sign of backing down. and his supporters feel he is justified in running for a third term as he was appointed by the parliament in 2005 and not directly elected.

so neither side seems to be back down. we have an u.n. envoy there today. what can he do to stop this from turning into a civil war? >> i think one thing that we -- the international community failed to do in the case of rwanda and the case of burundi about 20 years ago, was keeping attention on the media, being there to monitor who is committing the abuses. the international community can continue to do what it has done in the past few months which is encouraging all parties to refrain from violence to come to the negotiating table, and to try to find a way to have the elections as scheduled. what is unfortunate, and what i have heard from your introduction is some of these people in the opposition have decided to possibly boycott the

elections, and i think this is a mistake. the boycotting of the elections by the opposition in 2010 is one of the contributing factors to the situation which we are. excluding yourself from the political space allows the government to completely control the legislative branch of the government and to a certain extent the judiciary. if the international community doesn't have the leverage necessary to mitigate the situation, then the opposition needs to make sure that it remains in the political scene through the electoral process, unless they want to see a recurrence or aggravation of the situation, and the power grab of the ruling party. >> very good to get your incite on this. thank you so much for speaking to us from the institute for security studies from nairobi. france's president says there will be harsh punishment for any soldiers found guilty of

sexually abusing children in the central african republic. the abuses reportedly took place near the capitol -- near the airport of the capitol in december 2013 -- between december 2013 and june 2014. >> translator: if some soldiers behaved badly, then there will be sanctions empowered with the trust we put in all of our armed forces. i'm proud of our army so i will be harsh on those two behave badly if that's the case in central african republic. >> french prosecutors and military authorities say they are investigating the accusation accusation of abuse. the report documents the exploitation of children as young as nine by french soldiers last year. they said they were sexually

abused in some cases in return for food. the report was leaked to french authorities by a senior official in geneva who believed that the u.n. had failed to take action to stop the abuse. he has since been suspended and is under investigation. the co-director of the advocacy group that handed over the french press, says the u.n. must act immediately. >> the u.n. doesn't have jurisdiction over troops even if they are peace-keeping troops but the u.n. has a moral authority and obligation first and foremost to the victims just to interview them and to -- to compile the -- the -- the documentation about the detailed sexual abuse, both of the six children who were interviewed directly by people from the commission for human rights and

unicef and then the accounts that they gave of their friends and others -- other children they knew who had been subjected to the same abuse. in some cases, regular abuse. this was a constant ongoing thing. there is absolutely no question that there's moral, ethical, and -- and legal only -- only -- obligation for the united nations and its agencies to move in immediately. the nigerian army has released the first pictures of a group of women and girls it says were rescued from a boko haram strong hold. the group was freed from the forrest. the nigerian army says it has found a second group since. the exact number of people from that rescue hasn't been specified. and 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. one area where boko haram swept through and destroyed, hundreds of bodies have been found there. >> reporter: this is the town in northeastern nigeria. boko haram fighters occupied this town for month and are alleged to have killed many civilians. solders and residents say 200 decomposing bodies were removed. many more were found on the streets and in what remained of homes have been buried. >> translator: this is where the executions took place. where civilians were executed. the bodies were taken two days ago and buried over there. >> reporter: the occupation of their town survivors say, was brutal. >> translator: when boko haram were here you could not go out even to the market. we were more like prisoners. now even people who fled are

returning because the city is safe. >> reporter: this is the reality authorities are waking up to after boko haram fighters are pushed out by nigerian troops and their partners. the coalition troops have been in charge here for more than a month. but it remains a largely deserted town. the battle to recapture the town was fierce and it came at a huge cost. >> translator: we were faced with a lot of resistance between two towns. we lost some men, but we managed to clean the whole zone. today civilian have started to feel safer and have started coming back to their homes. the nigerian military forces should be coming to take control of the city but they haven't responded yet, so we're here. >> reporter: but the threat of boko haram attacks remains as troops continue operations in the east. the nigerian army has launched a

coordinated raid on a boko haram hideout in the forest. it says it has rescued more than 350 girls, women, and children. they have attacked some areas liberated by the army only a few months ago, an indication that the boko haram threat is ever present. a pakistani court has sentenced ten men to life in prison for their role in the 2012 shooting of schoolgirl malala you after -- yousafzai. kamal has more. >> reporter: they have sentenced at least ten people in the attack on malala yousafzai to life in prison. the military says it was able to

arrest the key people involved in the attack back in september, which gave them vital information and lead to the arrest of all ten members. however, four members are said to be still at large, possibly hiding across the border in afghanistan where the taliban leader is also based. now it must be remembered that the taliban pakistan had taken responsibility for this particular attack. still ahead on the al jazeera news hour the waiting game. they have left hardship behind for the hope of a better future but these migrants are stuck in libya. and authorities send a clear message to smugglers trading in ivory. and we'll tell you why brazilian football clubs are struggling as they prepare to release their financial figures. ♪

5,000. towns and villages have been devastated. even if buildings survived the quake, most will be need to be demolished because they are not safe. andrew simmons has more. >> reporter: what we're seeing here is really extrordanaire. look these people five days after this earthquake struck trying to go through their homes, what is left of them. it's just a pile of rebel. look over there, people still in shock. it's remarkable really because only one child died when the quake struck this tiny settlement, and over there, look, the children just still in shock, really people not sure what to do where to go. this entire district has really been untouched by help for so many days. only now is aid getting through, and that's only a small number of tens and some food. it's a critical situation here

without any shadow of doubt, but looking here i still can't take in how, no more than one child died. most people were in the fields so that's a reason why it happened this way. but look at the damage. and right through this area. here. there isn't one home left standing. a german court has rejected a claim for damages to be paid to relatives of afghan civilians silled in an air strike in 2009. the attack by a u.s. aircraft on two stranded oil tankers was ordered by german forces on the ground. they leaved taliban i fighters were among a crowd of people near the vehicles. >> reporter: this man drives through the city. for nearly six years he has been in poor health and had psychological problems. his family was in the air attack in 2009.

his two sons were killed. >> translator: the people who died were all civilians, up to 100 people were martyred. we want the people who bombed us and the men who ordered the bombing should be put on trial. the law should be implemented and they should be put in prison. >> reporter: the attack on the contain tankers was filmed. people had come to take away some of the oil. but among them two are supposedly taliban fighters. for that reason the german ground commander ordered a u.s. air strike. the force of the blast killed dozens instantly. the german public was shocked by the incident. questions were asked about whether german forces should be used for military offensive action overseas. the following year the german

government offered the relatives a $5,000 payment each without accepting liability. but for some of them this was not enough. they took their fight for compensation to court in germany. on thursday that court rejected their appeal. >> translator: the plaintiffs have now lost in both instances, but the senate has expresley permitted appeal meaning the plaintiffs have the possibility of filing an appeal at the federal court. >> reporter: the victims' lawyer has explained that his client's will appeal this court's ruling in the hope of persuading the german government to accept the liability, they say it has. the u.n. special envoy to libya has given the two rival governments until sunday to come up with a political agreement.

both of the governments are trying to gain control of the country. and the instability there has fuelled the trade in people smuggling, allowing traffickers to operate freely. >> reporter: they come from different country, but they all have the same story, one of a long journey that took them through several borders, and the sahara desert. each has strong hopes for the future, but for judy, it all ended in a detention center in miss rada'. she had decided to leave ethiopia after her husband died. >> they caught me in the desert. so i came [ inaudible ] then i came here. before this [ inaudible ] catch me one week here like two weeks. i want to leave this place. i want to cross to europe or

something to change my life. >> reporter: these are only a fraction of the hundreds of thousands of migrants who are waiting in libya for the opportunity to reach europe. the country has become a transit point. many of the migrants stay here for several months to earn enough money to pay for crossing the mediterranean. there are hundreds of kilometers of empty beaches. typically migrants are gathered in places like this one and at night under the cover of darkness, the boats sail off. libyan coast guards have limited means and rarely go out. here there is one vessel available. it was donated by the e.u. it's for short patrols. >> translator: we need support from the land forces. they should try to stop people before they board the boats. once at sea, it's very difficult for us to catch them. >> reporter: there are also a

few monitoring points that overlook the coast. but the current lawlessness in libya has allowed smugglers to flourish. there are about nine known departure points in the homs area alone, and many more further west. >> translator: because of the political divisions, the e.u. is not assisting. we have four vessels, but they are held in italy, because of the situation. they don't recognize the tripoli government. the one in tobruk doesn't need the vessels because all of the departures are from the western side. >> reporter: it is from one year here that this man set off a few weeks ago. he left his wife and two children in gambia promising to find a job and to take care of them. >> it's not easy right now. in this world right now, everything is money. if you have money. you have everything. it's over. i don't want to be here anymore. i want to go back. >> reporter: going home won't be

easy either. there are few embassies left in tripoli to assist. and authorities don't have the means to deport the migrants. for now they have stuck in libya's turmoil. in the u.s. more than 100 people have been arrested in a rally in new york. protesting the treatment of a black man who a suffered a fatal spinal injury in police custody. a nightly curfew has been imposed there after a series of riots. at least 150 people have been injured in southern brazil. police fired rubber bullets, tear gas, and stun grenades at teachers trying break through in to the parliament. a spokesman for vladimir putin says north korea's leader
