temples and now the threat of disease and conditions are poor with a severe shortage of clean water and toilets and mohamed is in kathmandu. >> reporter: around the village here locals line up to get treated by a team of doctors. this is the first medical team in the village since the earthquake struck on saturday destroying most of the houses here. she and her daughters have been suffering from stomach cramps. >> translator: the water is thick and smelly but we have to drink it. >> reporter: many patients have diarrhea and have been vomiting some seem to be dazed. besides diarrhea two-year-old has skin infection. behind him two-year-old stares on. >> translator: he has diarrhea and house is too dangerous to go

back to. >> reporter: they came out to help the army. >> providing support at grass roots level and one week or more in the long-term to have the break up from chronic diseases like diarrhea and skin diseases and it has to be done by their department. >> reporter: collapse of the existing health system is what concerns medical officers working in the field. the army has been coordinating all the international teams which have come to help. >> the hospitals that were there have been totally interseparate and our plan is that other medical teams that can come and play for a long duration for three to six months in mid term and they will go there with the airforce and where the hospitals have been destroyed. >> reporter: in the village those who are not physically sick are in shock and many say

they are afraid to sleep. they hope to get some medication from the doctors who will be here for one more day. but once the medical team leaves they will be left to fend for themselves once again. even at the best of times health in nepal has been rather poor for this village the only health post is half an hour further up and the only thing that they have is this. not everyone has toilets and people defecate openly in the streets, water has been contaminated in areas like this increasing the risk of epidemics. and mohamed joins us live now from kathmandu nomohamed what else can you tell us? >> i can tell you today really a paramount concern here especially at kathmandu is to make sure that any possible diseases are prevented from

spreading. here where we are in the center of the city we saw chinese aid struck earlier in the day with a water canon and spraying disinfect about on the rubble because there are bodies under the rubble and at one point throwing powder and served another purpose and helped with the odor and it's quite sad a very heavy stench of death in areas of the city and something residents have gotten used to sadly but it still is here, really a reminder of the utter devastation this country has experienced. we spoke to world health organization officials earlier in the day and are mobilized and trying to get to some of the outlying areas and released a rapid health assessment since the emergency and earthquake and when it comes to facilities here what is needed here mostly is actually more medical aid, more medicines and want to make sure that food and water is getting

to many of the areas here in the country especially the districts hardest hit where it has been hard for aid workers to reach and paramount is making sure medicine is getting to the right people and villages so no disease starts and doesn't become a humanitarian crisis that spirals out of control. >> what can you tell us about the compensation that victims are supposed to be getting? >> that is a very good question rochelle and the government has announced this we have spoken to some folks today, some of them quite jaded and cynical and say look the government hasn't really done anything for us yet and are angry and i have spoken to police officers on the scene who have spoken openly about their anger because they say the government really has not done enough and had the government done more that you know, all these aid workers are here all of this equipment is here, why isn't it reaching the folks? so people i have spoken with today say, yes, it's good that

the victims' families will be compensated but more should have been done from the start and is not going to bring anybody back and fix this in a satisfactory way. >> live in kathmandu and thank you. new guinea has been rattled by a second big earthquake within 24 hours and the survey says the 7.1 quake struck southwest here and no immediate reports of casualties or damage and tsunami lifted and the quake was on thursday. >> this is actually a second magnitude 7.1 in the same region,, in fact then by center is 10 kilometers to the northeast of the one that occurred yesterday, thankfully in this region it is very uninhabited. they have a lot of earthquakes in this new britain region. of course it's very close to rabal the city that underwent a

large volcanic eruption in the 1990s from a volcano. and thankfully this is far enough away from rabal not to cause damage and not expected to cause any damage so certainly it would have been felt in the city of rabal but would not expect damage of a distance of 3, 400 kilometers that it is away. news of another earthquake and has been reported in india's island's region the magnitude 5.3 tremor struck 135 kilometers southwest of port blair. and yemen fighters loyal to exile president abd rabbuh mansur hadi say they gained grounds in the central providence and took control of the oir-rich area last year and fighting continues in aiden and other cities and victoria reports. >> reporter: artillery shells are here and they want to

control the area and fighters loyal to president in exile abd rabbuh mansur hadi are on offensive and push back houthis and formers with saleh and are determined to hold their ground. >> translator: they aimed at humiliating the people and ready to sacrifice everything for the safety of their area. and it's a source of welfare for yemen and battles prevented them from achieving any progress. >> reporter: street to street battles continue in the port city of aiden with fighters using tanks and heavy shelling to try to force the houthis to retreat. pro-government fighters say they gained more control of the area around the airport and the saudi-led coalition air strikes have continued to target the road between aiden and it's a supply route to get fighters and weapons into aiden. saudi arabia and partners said

at the ash moore group from riyadh and how would you characterize this move this development? >> well, i would say that it's very historic again, part of a larger reform system reform momentum that has been highlighting the last four months of king solomon's reign and it's important to separate the oil ministry from ramco and important for transparency and oversight and it's important in terms of these institutions functioning eventually independently even if both of them are state controlled and oversee. >> so what does it mean in very practical day-to-day terms for the company in a business sense? >> in a business sense they have to produce oil. and so they have to do that in an efficient matter as they have been doing.

but never before has there been a proper way of assessment of saudi arabia di ramco within and also by the government. and also the oil ministry will have to look at oil policy. it doesn't mean that the oil ministry is going to be far away but on the contrary both of them are going to work for the common goal but oil policy is going to be with the ministry and production of oil is going to be exclusively with ramco and the oil ministry is now going to be overseeing saudi ramco and what is interesting is the current minister of health remains as the chairman of saudi ramco and before it was saudi oil minister so that is something different. they want to have the co of ramco to officerver see this. >> do you anticipate this could mean more changes to come more generational changes to come in

saudi arabia? >> well, what we have seen so far are fantastic and historic. the average age of the three-man leadership, the king the crown prince and the deputy is now 57 years of age and i think there is more yet to come and i think it's going to be fundamental and in many ways to restructure the way the government is run and becomes far more efficient and ninble for sustainable developments and strategic for saudi arabia and more is coming. >> they provide other types of social services for people it's not just the oil, might it affect that in any way? >> no i don't think so no. not at all. saudi ramco is a very effective institution but yet again it doesn't mean that this is the only way of doing it. so i think now we are going to see a more efficient and proper

oversight of saudi ramco and not seen for many decades so i don't think there is anything to be concerned yet i think that there is more coming and it's for the good of the country. >> we appreciate your insight and it remains to be seen how this all plays out, thank you so much. at least 21 people have been killed in baghdad following a series of bombs across the iraqi capitol, the wave of explosions happened over thursday night, a car bomb in the western district killed five people and wounded 12 and northern baghdad neighborhood a car bomb outside of an ice cream shop killed four people. rebel fighters in syria have made gains in idlib providence closer to the stronghold and government retail -- retaliated and new alliance of rebel groups

world as a global statement that says that we are no longer as a government going to tolerate illegal ivory trade and it's very important to send that message. and secondly it's really important because it takes ivory out of circulation and a lot of countries that have stockpiles of ivory it's very expensive, difficult to guard and puts them at risk for traffickers who want to access ivory and the best thing to do is destroy it out right. march in a may day rally and hong kong workers day they demand better working conditions and similar in indonesia, cambodia and south korea where workers demand higher wages and better conditions and harry is in the south korean capitol seoul. >> reporter: organizers behind the events see an attempt by the government to deregulate the

ramco separated from the oil ministry control and run by a ten-member economic council. let's turn to our top story, the magnitude 7.1 earthquake to hit off the coast of new guinea and we have an sizemologist and appreciate it and what can you tell us about the area where the quakes have been mapping in the last few days? >> well this area is marked by the collision of two plates which is the same sort of situation as in nepal except in nepal you have two continental plates colliding and here it's the australian plate that is colliding with the pacific plate and pushing underneath it to produce these earthquakes. >> the tsunami warning came fairly quickly and removed fairly quickly, tell me what

prompts that. >> well first earthquakes in what we call subduction zones that produce tsunamis but in this case the earthquake was too deep. now a tsunami occurs when the earthquake actually displaces the sea floor but this earthquake actually didn't occur under the sea, it occurred under the land so no displacement of water to produce a tsunami and the only way it could produce a tsunami if it traded an under water landslide and that sometimes happens but it's unlikely in this case. >> is there a reason to anticipate perhaps more aftershocks in the days to come? >> well there has been quite a large aftershock and 6.8 aftershock already this morning, that is probably going to be the largest one. i would expect aftershocks will continue over the next few weeks but they will get steadily smaller and fewer. >> all right, well thank you for your insight we will probably be calling on you again roger, thank you so much.

>> thank you. turning to the earthquake in nepal now a new video of the moment the disaster struck. a tourist recorded the video last saturday in the ancient temple city the historic city about 13 kilometers from the capitol and filled with hindu temples. and it's known as nepal's cultural gem and many buildings damaged or even destroyed and there is thousands of people stranded in nepal's remote communities waiting for help and andrew simmons went there and sent us this report. >> reporter: the mountain roads of sindu would normally take you to one of the most scenic places on earth and now it shows misery despair and for some of those who survived this is what remains of their lives.

with no power anywhere no sanitation and very few tents. this is a town that is devastated and the humanitarian needs are colossial and search and rescue workers who reached this place say it's dangerous to be in the town itself because the buildings that are intact are unsafe. this man lost his wife in the quake. he is left trying to make due in a school. attempting to look after his baby son and little girl who has an eye injury that needs more attention. >> translator: the government has not provided relief in such an extreme situation. it's raining, it's wet, the tremors come and we are having to take shelter in the school. >> reporter: the weather is making things worse, normally this will be the dry season but there is heavy rain aside from washing out already over crowded shelters it causes landslides more fear for the people with aftershocks making the

landslides more frequent and want to know when the suffering will end, no one has an answer. andrew simmons, al jazeera, sindu, nepal. minmar have talks on a possible ceasefire deal and wants a nationwide ceasefire before elections in november and explains how they put aside their differences for once. >> reporter: the people have been fighting the government for decades. more than 60 years of strife makes in the longest running conflict in myanmar and more than 100,000 people have been displaced and many living as refugees in neighboring thailand and there is little economic investment here because of the instability leaving the population poor and roads and facilities in shambles. a ceasefire agreement between the government and the rebels were signed in 2012. but there is still sporadic fighting and peace is made even

more complicated because the ethnic group is several armed and unarmed factions but for one day this year the village were able to forget about the violence. >> translator: everybody wants peace but i don't really know if it's for real or not, i don't know when we will have a chance to play foot ball with other ethnic groups again. >> reporter: the peace council together with handshakes for peace arranged a game between the two sides and star power by former international futbal players not only to pass along tips but as a way of bringing the two sides together. the army pulled out at the last-minute but the government's border guard forces are there. >> translator: for us it is good because we don't shoot each other like we did in the past. >> reporter: but the villagers

too the match was an enjoyable event. >> translator: compared to weapons futbol is much better. >> reporter: turnout was lower than expected because of reports of fighting nearby. away from the pitch and the front line the difficult work of negotiating a peace deal goes on. the government and 16 armed ethnic group agreed in principle to the text of the draft ceasefire agreement but that number does not include all armed rebel groups and a final deal still has to be reached before political dialog can take place, meanwhile clashes still go on in some parts of myanmar, i'm with al jazeera. one of the most debated policy in the lead up to the uch k election and the election is thursday and as we report from spain it's an issue that has taken center stage with british voters who themselves are living in a foreign country. >> reporter: it's quiet here

to somewhere else and gives a little bit back is that what you mean? >> that tends to be the perception of most of the people i know locally, yes, it is. >> reporter: none of the people would regard themselves as racist rather perceptions about immigration fall into a bucket of frustrations and misplaced priorities a sort of rage that comes from reading too many british newspapers. if there were ever an election on the costa the conservative party would win with sort of numbers reserved for a central ashun dictatorship and the independence party would do well too and that is ironic and if they had their way and britain left the eu then the folks would have to go back home to the country they gave up as a lost cause. the costa is no stranger to outsider and ancient romes and arabs and moores have colonized the shores and now russians are

busy buying up the coast and british immigrants are nothing to fear or resent. >> translator: for me right now it's fantastic because the majority of my customers are from all over the place and mostly english and britain is in a good place economically and bring a lot to the area. >> reporter: you get the sense that even though british immigrants here feel the old country has gone to the dogs the new home could end up a rather lonely place, it certainly looks tarnished and lacking the glammar it had and like britain it had given up on them. more protests in milan as a six month world fair is about to open in the italian city. this is a scene there on thursday when hundreds of students marched the city center they are angry at what

the international market. >> reporter: around two thirds of tunisia olive oil exported to the european union and this year farmers could sell more if it was not for eu quotas and some people say they are not provingfit propheting as much from what they do sell because many european companies buy olive oil cheaply in bulk and mix it with their own supplies. >> translator: i believe that we have to put more commercial and marketing effort into promoting our own olive oil and stop selling in bulk and we have to bottle our own oil. >> reporter: good quality olive oil can help them stay ahead of the competition, this tree nursery sold 5 million plants last year but there are challenges. tunisia doesn't have a big enough variety of species or advanced irrigation technology.

olive oil production is vital to tunisia economy and employees hundreds of thousands of people a year and it's unpredictable and always a threat that drought, bacteria or insects could wipe out an entire olive plantation. that's what happened in italy last year when 800,000 trees were contaminated by bacteria usually found in south america. for now tunisia has avoided these kinds of problems. in a country where people are struggling to find work and tour rhythm has been battered by lack of security the century old industry offers a ray of hope. i'm with al jazeera, northern tunisia. still ahead on al jazeera, the mercury rises as nasa's
