>> hello, i have the sport and no happy ending for many people in the fight of the century with floyd mayweather. >> my best wasn't good enough. >> and both fighters in las vegas and we have reaction from the fill beans -- philippines coming up. ♪ thank you for joining us we begin in yemen where sources told al jazeera that arab special forces entered aiden in the southern port city with abd rabbuh mansur hadi and being denied by saudi arabia. and this says fighters loyal to president hadi say they regained control of the anmar district of aiden and a popular resistant forces say they have taken control of several houthi positions and meanwhile the humanitarian situation is

worsening with medical, fuel and power supplies running low and the spokesman for the saudi-led coalition and told al jazeera that no foreign troops entered yemen but that option is not off the table. >> translator: i assure you if troops were brought into aiden from the sea we would have confirmed it through the daily briefing as was the practice during the operation of storm, all options are open the coalition will not spare any effort backing the resistance and a chief positive outcomes on the ground. i reiterate today no troop landings were made into yemen. >> reporter: al jazeera correspondent is on the ground in aiden and sent us this report. >> reporter: we are now close to international airport where fighting is raging between the popular resistance and houthi malitia. we can see plumes of smoke and

seems to be the result of an air strike by the coalition forces. and there are popular resistance fighters who are shelling the facility every now and then as the houthis are stationed inside. it is a decisive battle and will have significant outcome. plumes of smoke as a result of shelling the positions of the houthi malitia and forces loyal to saleh inside the airport. it is a crucial battle and the victory side will shape the future of fighting in the coming days. let's go straight live now to aiden now and speak to a civil engineering student she lives in aiden and joins us live now on the line. first of all are you hearing anything about the potential

presence of saudi troops in aiden? >> well we have a warning about the presence of saudi arabia is there but militants are clear they are not under ground now and they are saying there are yemen soldiers who have been trained in saudi arabia and they have been defender in the battle and militia with the houthis. >> the line is tricky and let me make sure i understand you correctly, you are saying the rumors in local media websites are these are yemen soldiers who were trained in saudi, that is what you are hearing, can i check that is what you think? i'm taking care of the sort of sound issues so that is what you are hearing? >> yeah. >> okay let's focus obviously on the many difficulties that you are facing in aiden. just tell us about the impact it has had on your life and how you had to adapt to the resent

violence. >> well it has been 40 days and since the beginning of war so at kuwait two times, now i have been living out of my house for a month. we have stopped college. and to go to college, the only time that we go out is early in the morning and after the evening no one is able to go out and therefore this is under the control of houthis faith. fortunately i am living where i am under that control and militants unfortunately there is a huge lack and in march and april so they are using their

savings to go out. >> i'm so sorry we are having difficulties hearing you. i think we got the gist of what you were saying about the difficulties of course being faced by you and the many other residents of aiden and resident of aiden, thank you so much for your time. well we have a consultant fellow at the royal united services institute for the french and security studies and is live in the studio and thank you for being with us and we were hearing from a residents of aiden and the rumor she is hearing is media websites in the city are saying these are yemen soldiers that are trained and can we have a look at the footage we have been getting? i think we can play it now. okay, so we are seeing it now. now, just judging i guess, the uniforms they are wearing by what they are carrying, what do you think of the message?

>> that looks like yemen and if you look at the clothing, it's not special forces clothing they could well be under cover of course but if you look at the physical appearances both facial and bodily appearances, they do look like yemen as opposed to saudis or egyptian special forces. they certainly look like locals. >> what they are carrying as well because one just walked up and seem to be antitank weapons. >> a rocket launcher which would be an an antitank or antipersonal launch and rifles and so on are standard issue rifles they are not the sort of rifles that you would expect to have in special forces. >> okay so in light of that what do you make of everything we have been hearing? obviously we have heard denials from the saudi military there, the leaders of the coalition, but i guess they also didn't rule out some kind of ground

invasion could happen at any time. >> absolutely and if they are yemen who have been sent in because they worked in saudi arabia or in the emerite they can deny they are forces. these are irregular troops that have been trained presumably to act as forward observers and act as communications. >> saudi words no foreign troops have been sent in today. >> exactly so then if the yemen are not foreign and if the regular forces they are not troops so he is -- the statement could be accurate from that point of view. so the question arises why they are there. it's possible that they could be there to secure a possible air or navel landel by larger forces should they be required and it seems as though the saudi mission will not be accomplished without the use of land forces and so them being there would

facilitate a landing by air or by sea. >> and i mean we are slightly moving to the area of speculation but do you think that kind of landing is implement or do you think it's necessary for the saudis and coalition to achieve its goals? >> it appears necessary for them to achieve their goals because there is no sign of them achieving their goals without additional land power. how limited it is, we can only judge by the presence of these people if they are there to provide some sort of communication, some sort of security then it does seem like it's imminent. >> from the royal united services institute, sir, thank you so much for sharing your views with us. now in other news the number of people rescued from the mediterranean in the 24 hours is the highest ever according to the international organization for migration, more than 4,000 people have been plucked from the sea this weekend alone.

and at least ten people are known to have died off the coast of libya while trying to make the dangerous journey. well let's go to stephanie decker in the sicily port and stephanie it makes news around the world when a boat capsizes and the sheer number of people that keep on arriving it is as sounding. >> absolutely and this is what we have seen unfold today. we had that huge number made official this morning 3700 almost picked up on saturday. today we are following it with the italian coast guard. very difficult to keep up to date with the numbers because there are so many different vessels, part of this operation, we calculated around 8-900 rescues so far today and just to give you an example various

boats rescuing various different dinghys and one was an inflatable dinghy that lost its air spotted by a helicopter that had a ship come to it. we had one ngo ship that is working together with doctors without borders and they were on their way to a ship that had a small vessel with 100 people and got a call from the italian coast guard to move to another boat holding almost 400 and this is unfolding during the day and literally picking up people boat by boat incredibly difficult and of course as you say these numbers and the national organization and migration saying the biggest number rescued in the space of 24 hours and the voyage is an incredibly difficult and dangerous one. we have seen some pictures coming out and some pictures extraordinary and just to show you what these people are risking by making this crossing. it's pitch black, imagine what it feels like crammed into a wooden boat with no engine floating helplessly on the

mediterranean sea, the arrival of police that patrol the waters is a huge relief. this boat has women and children on board. the rescuers try to maintain calm if the boat is unbalanced they can all fall in the water and they are thrown life jackets and most cross with nothing with hope. this is one of 17 rescue operations carried out on saturday alone. this is another one, 397 people including young children crammed on to another engineless boat at the mercy of the sea. one of the aid agencies operating here says that the majority of the arrivals this year have been sub sahara and africa mainly arriving from libya and often the medical condition is not great enduring difficult conditions waiting to be smuggled across the water. >> stephanie decker and so 4,000 people or thereabouts picked up this weekend and they are no longer in immediate risk of their lives but what is going to happen next to them?

>> that's right, well it's up to the italian minister of interior to decide where they go and we are expecting around 900 migrants to arrive here around 3:00 in the morning. these are part of those who are rescued on saturday. so it's taken that long to decide where they can be taken because of course there is already a real strain here. we are in sicily and the island of lampadusa to the south and hearing migrants there have been moved to here to make space for more and more arrival and now when they do arrive here the first thing doctors without borders will be here to give them an initial medical check, those that need more care will be taken to hospital and it's up to the ministry of interior to take them to centers where they are held and some of them will make their own ways for smuggling networks off to northern europe and many do not want to stay here but it's an incredibly difficult situation and the journey takes money and many of the people talking about numbers but have individual

tragic story and minors arriving here without their parents so it's extremely difficult situation to control and we had a warning earlier on this month from the head of the eu border in charge of operations and he warned and talking huge number 500,000 to 1 million migrants could be waiting to make the crossing so because this weather now is perfect, the summer is just about to start, it's a real concern. how many more will be arriving on the shore. >> staggering numbers there stephanie, stephanie decker live for us and thank you. let's go to the other side of the mediterranean and spoke to misrata in libya and with the coast guard on the libyan coast and i don't know if you heard what stephanie decker said they could be expecting between half a million and a million people to make what is a very dangerous journey and what very often starts from libya. just tell us a little bit about what you found when you were sailing with the rescue boat off the libyan coast.

>> the figures are quite realistic of what we have been hearing here from libyan officials and estimate about a million migrants are on the libyan territory at the moment trying to reach the coast, already along the coast. now we went out with the coast guards earlier today. they had got information that five inflatable boats or zodiacs sailed off a bit west down to the coast of tripoli and they went out and they rescued about 470 people among them pregnant women, children and a lot of young men. now, there was a huge disappointment among these people even though every one admitted the trip was extremely dangerous they also all wanted to reach italy. they said they were not only escaping the situation they had back home but they were escaping the current situation here in

libya, you know, the political divisions are creating a bit of lawlessness, lack of security so for them really reaching europe is about feeling safe. a lot of disappointment i have seen. libyans are overwhelmed by what is going on and listening to stephanie talking about the mechanics put in place by italians and europeans and the libyans are putting a similar mechanism in place here but with little means. and those little means are reduced for example for this part of libya, central libya to two maybe vessels and one tug boat which they have basically taken and adapted for their own needs. there is nothing much else going on. these 470 people nobody knows where they are going to go and spend the night. the tension center and holding center in misrata is full capacity. we have seen some that have been taken by bus. they will probably have to travel all the way to tripoli to find somewhere to sleep so the libyans are also saying we need

help, we need funding, we need assistance because we under our current situation cannot handle this and we are just at the beginning really of the migration season across the sea. >> relations from misrata in libya and thank you. still more to come in the news hour including we will tell you about the 101-year-old man pulled alive from the rubble seven days after the earthquake in nepal. plus plus. >> i'm in kathmandu and meeting the largest known group of children who have made it from the earthquake zone to the capitol. also coming up why the televised trial of 49 men over the lynching of an afghan woman is a test of the country's justice system. and in sport avoid a rare defeat on the athletic track. ♪

49 men on trial and policemen failing to stop the murder and 27 27-year-old was beaten and her body burned on a cobble street in the middle of the afternoon and hundreds watched and many recording it on cell phones. some of that video was used in court to identify the defendants. when charges against them were readout many admitted to being there but said they did not participate in the beating. this trial isn't just about the murder of her it's a test of afghanistan's justice system because the family lawyer plans to prosecute those who failed to help her. 354 makes it illegal to fail to help police or a victim of mob violence. it has never been enforced but for the family lawyer hopes successful convictions in this trial will mean the law will be enforced in the future. >> if they kicked her once and

the governor of maryland larry hogan says the city has seen 100 million dollars in damages, 200 businesses were lost entirely. so the new normal is not really normal at all. and of course this is in a city where there are buildings that have not been reconstructed since the riots of 1968 so some of that damage could be very long-term damage however, people here are very happy and i know businesses are happy, weddings were cancelled, corporate events postponed and businesses lost a lot of money in the evening because the curfew began at 10:00 and people on the streets are happy to walk around a little more freely and not to worry about coming into a nasty confrontation with police. >> and, john, i guess perhaps un unsurprisingly media focus has been on the examples we saw of violence but seen lots of peaceful rallies in baltimore and a large one on saturday and i believe there is nothing one coming up, in the next half hour is that right?

>> that is right, in the past 48 hours the mood here has really transformed and that happened after the charges were levied against the six officers responsible. i think people here with somewhat surprised the most serious charge was a second degree murder charge and after that there was an air of celebration here and in the park behind me which is across from city hall several thousand people filling the square and sometimes dancing, there were sometimes angry speeches but really people were pleased that there had been charges levied a lot of people were happy there would be some kind of accountability, it's rare for homicide charges to be brought against a police officer, rarer still for those charges to end in a conviction but people here were happy that the prosecutor went ahead with the charges. we will see what happens here in this city as that goes on but we have another rally going on today. this is a religious rally and again we expect the mood to be largely celebratory. >> john with the latest in
