5:18 pm
>> we do and it's important that u.s. officials say they will be accompanying them because they are not using the word escort and that is different and a bigger mission in terms of navy talk. basically the escort would mean that for every u.s. flagged cargo ship there would be a u.s. navy ship alongside of it protecting it and they will not do it in the case and one u.s. official said we will be hanging out in the region and saying it's not just because of the boarding of that cargo ship but u.s. officials are alleging that a u.s. flagged tanker felt harassed by a small iran navy ships last friday so they decided to take this step they are not talking about rules of engaragement engaragement engagement and that is important and always a concern when you talk about engagement at sea things can happen quickly and quickly escalate is there is also a risk of doing this even though they are trying to send a message to iran. >> kicked off by the seizing of that cargo ship registered 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. hundreds of kilometers of empty beaches along libya coastline and they are gathered in spots like this away from the city around sunset and at night under cover of darkness the boats sale off. there is little control. libya coast guards have limited means and rarely go out and with the area there is one vessel available, it was donated by the eu for shore 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 few monitoring points that overlook the coast. but the current lawlessness in libya allowed smugglers operating in the country to flourish and there are nine

al jazeera, central libya. a leading newspaper in the united states is reporting that freddy gray was trying to hurt himself when he died in police custody 11 days ago the incident that sparked the baltimore riots and gabrielle is in baltimore engaging reaction to the washington post article and investigation into freddy gray's death. >> reporter: a makeshift memorial has been set up here at the very intersection where freddy gray was arrested and we saw the video of him screaming in pain being loaded in to that police van. now, with the police handing over their internal investigation over to state prosecutors, we came to this neighborhood and found a young man who said he witnessed everything that happened but yet he says police investigators have failed to even contact him about what he saw. >> my leg hurts and they got him up and started dragging him to the patty wagon. >> no police contact you?
5:24 pm
>> no police contact me at all, i don't know what they did when he said he did all that and did not contact me yet. >> reporter: here in the community nobody we spoke to said they have any confidence in this police investigation. >> i want to believe that we are going to have justice but honestly in my heart i don't think they are going to give it to us. >> a lot of unsolved murders in the city they have done nothing about. >> reporter: the washington post newspaper has an explosive article on thursday where they say someone in the van with freddy gray claims gray was actually trying to injure himself, people here in the community have very strong opinions about that this is what they had to say. >> how can you hurt herself in handcuffs, how can he break his back when he is in handcuffs. >> do you think the public would believe something like that as stupid as they say. >> reporter: the internal investigation handed over to local prosecutors it's up to them in the coming days or weeks to decide if charge also be
5:25 pm
filed against these six officers that are now on administrative leave. meanwhile the federal government side the justice department continues their own investigation as well. let's take you live to al jazeera's tom ackerman at city hall where a rally is due to arise shortly and tom we are getting more reports of leaks of the police investigation, an investigation that now has been handed over to the prosecutor. >> reporter: yes the state prosecutor formerly accepted the findings of the police. she said that she had already been aware of most of the findings in any case and she would sift those over as well as having her own independent investigators look at the evidence. to go beyond what gabrielle mentioned here according to a leaked reports the medical examiner's report which we have not seen so far says that his injury was sustained consistent
5:26 pm
with having a neck injury by a bolt in the back in the van where he was being transported. the police have already admitted that they did not restraint the prisoners in the van as was required by both federal policy police policy and local policy so that he could have been driven around and according to some people subjected to what police -- what people described as a police practice of giving suspects a hard ride in a van. so rather than saying that he injured himself deliberately and that leaves open the possibility that he was injured as a consequence of that kind of rough treatment inside the van, there has been evidence that the police says and disclosed there was an additional videotape that disclosed or showed there was an additional stop that the van took during its ride to the
5:27 pm
police station and that may also provide further grounds for looking into exactly the course of the journey that ultimately led to his fatal injury but right now the again the state prosecutor says that there is no timeline as the to how long she will take in order to come up with indictments if at all or at least a more definitive finding of whether there was probable cause or wrongful death. >> reporter: tom in baltimore, thank you. still ahead on the program a german court gives its verdict on a claim for damages over air strikes in afghanistan in 2009. it is exactly a week until the uk's general election we are going to take a closer look at the country's changing political landscape. and boxing fans are salivating at the prospect of pacquiao against floyd meriweather and people in las vegas are hunting

hello again and welcome to the news hour and reminder of the store i haves on al jazeera, two rescued from the rubble of buildings in nepal five days after and killed 5800 there and u.n. said rural areas are in desperate need of help. the nigerian army released pictures of nearly 300 women and girls that were rescued from a boko haram stronghold. and harsh punishment for peace keepers guilty of sexually abusing children in the central african republic and it took place at a center for displace people by the airport between december 2013 and june last year. let's talk more about the nepal earthquake with julian from interaction an organization representing 180 engineers around the world, as you can see he is with us now from washington d.c. good to have you with us on the program, how do you assess the face of the
5:32 pm
relief operation in nepal right now? is it working? >> it is working. there is a lot of supplies that are coming through right now. all the efforts from different countries be they ngos military and u.n. are in full throttle so it is working. there is a few bottlenecks right now that we are trying to go through and mostly those are at the airport right now. the airport in kathmandu was damaged during the earthquake. and it's difficult for planes to land there especially it's a little bit of a small airport, a little bit antequaited with traffic and it's hard to get teams in place and get all the aid as fast as we would like let's put it that way. >> is it fair to say that nepal
5:33 pm
must be one of the least well equipped nations to be able to deal with an earthquake of this magnitude? >> i wouldn't say that because it didn't come as a surprise for nepal so nepal is a very poor country but it was prepared to some extent for an earthquake. a number of ngos were doing disaster risk reduction programs to help the communities be ready. the government was also putting communities in place to respond. so they were ready to some extent but in terms of the infrastructure it's another story. and this is why i think the military from the region and from the uk and the u.s. are coming in right now to assist in the logistics of the operation so assisting in the air control, assisting also in terms of accessing remote areas outside of kathmandu. as you can guess, the roads and the secondary roads outside of
5:34 pm
kathmandu have been damaged. it is mountain terrain and cannot have small airplanes go there. so you need helicopters and those are now online and allow the teams to have cargo go through, relief items and to also look at the situation and assist the populations as best as we can. right now really the issues are mostly in terms of logistics and getting the teams close to the populations and getting the emergency relief items close to the populations. >> i guess part of the problem is those people who are in those cutoff areas do not really care about how the help is coming they just desperately want it and their patience begins to run out, they become so desperate. >> yes, they do become desperate but the aid is coming we have seen for instance last year in the philippines people in the first week were reporting, oh, the aid is not coming this is going to be a disaster a
5:35 pm
calamity and people are going to die because the aid is not coming. we have to be aware that it's very difficult to get all the relief effort going full throttle and if we could judge from the first five days of it we are really in a good shape and i'm optimistic that life for the philippines the response is going to be as successful as it can be given the circumstances of the terrain. >> great to talk to you julian joining us there from washington, thank you. >> thank you. so there is just a week to go until the uk general election a race that is closely fought between the ruling conservative party and the opposition labor par party and no one is expected to win out right and vying for seats in parliament for which the government is formed and

good chance and what are others saying to you out there? >> well we went to our bookies yesterday and spoke to one who had been in las vegas for 40 years and said he never seen so much money coming in so hard and so fast. at the moment pacquiao is the clear under dog and if you talk to the bookies and people are vetting for two reasons and many want pacquiao to beat mayweather because he is 47-0 and never lost a fight. but clearly people are betting for very different reasons but there is little doubt here everybody you speak to just can't wait. they are waiting for baited breath for these two men to get in the ring together just to see who is the better fighter. >> reporter: andy gal and thank you very much and the fight that everyone is looking forward to a 24-year-old belgian futballer died and
