> announcer: this is al jazeera. hello, welcome to the newshour i'm jane dutton in doha. in the next 60 minutes - air strikes by saudi-led forces after a deadly attack by houthi fighters on a saudi border town an afghan judge sentences four men to death for the murder of a woman wrongly accused of burping the koran -- burning the koran survivors talk of their harrowing ordeals after spending
6:01 am
months in boko haram captivity plus... >> i'm jonah hull in central london in the building where modern cinema was born now being brought back to life the u.s. secretary of state john kerry is due in saudi arabia where he's expected to push for a pause in the fighting in yemen to allow aid into the country. in the past 24 hours there has been more than 30 air strikes in northern yemen according to local officials and residents. they landed in sadr and maja near the border. houthis fired rockets, the first time they targeted a civilian area in the kingdom. as you see, quite a bit of
6:02 am
destruction. schools were closed and flights cancelled. 22 aid agencies working in yemen will have to stop aid unless land sea and air routes are open to allow for the import of fuel. there has been knockses south of sanaa, with citizens calling for basic meanties allowing for the houthi group to lead the capital. >> reporter: let's start in djibouti rosalind jordan has been travelling with him. an important part of the world for the states. there's an american base there. what has he achieved as far as security there is concerned. and yemen? >> well at this point there's a conference with the foreign minister is breaking up. mr kerry had to say that they were a critical partner in the fight of what he calls violent
6:03 am
extremists [ inaudible ] apologies, we seem to be - to have lost her there. apologies about that. let's go to the saudi capital, riyadh where kerry is headed after leaving djibouti we are joined live from there. what is he planning to achieve. he's trying to get a humanitarian pause in the fighting. any chance of that happening? >> it will depend on how the saudis react and the guarantees for the saudis to achieve some of their goals in yemen. after six weeks of air strikes there's not much the saudis can do, in terms of what the initial goals, ousting the houthis from cities bringing them to the negotiation table and forcing the return or allowing the return of president abd-rabbu
6:04 am
mansour hadi the legitimate president. any of that, and stopping in the war will mean that they have not achieved any of their goals. the discussion will be there on that. the americans will push for a humanitarian truce. the saudis announced that they are ready to create safe zones in yemen for the distribution of humanitarian aid. they are not against that. the procedure to do that is to be clarified and decided because it takes troops on the ground to protect the depots and the distribution and staff take care of that. the agenda in saudi arabia will cover a wide range of issues. syria is a problem because america is reluctant to push for support, and the saudis the
6:05 am
qataris and the turkish, they have been supplying the rebels with weapons and want them to push bashar al-assad the syrian president out of power as soon as possible. that is an issue there to be discussed. like kerry in saudi arabia and iran is on top of the agenda, it is a big concern for the saudis and the gulf regions. there'll be a feeding between g.c.c. leaders and the u.s. president obama in camp david in maryland and they are preparing - you saw the summit. they were talking about the points what issues demands to raise for the americans, and on top of that is guarantees from the united states that any deal with iran will not allow them to cross the line from civilian to military programs. we have this latest update from the news today, talking about u.s. president obama supporting the idea of creating a region
6:06 am
wide missile defense shield in the gulf. this idea is not new, it has been there in the discussion between the two sides. the renewal of this bid by the americans to do it means that there is this kind of competition between france and the u.s. in terms of security and military cooperation with the gulf and the gulf leader are happy with that. they want to see themselves at the center of attention in the west because of this competition with iran. >> thank you for that. we'll leave you in riyadh and go back to rosalind jordan... before we lost you we were talking about john kerry. you were updating us on what john kerry has been doing and what he is hoping to achieve there. >> my apologies. communication are strong in yib uty. the secretary is looking at - trying to do more to enhance the
6:07 am
military. it's the first time that we heard this sort of thing on the record. he talked about the critical role that djibouti plays, in what mr kerry is calling violent extremism. it has been targeted to help somali defeat the group which raised so much chaos in that country for the better part of the decade. as for the situation in yemen, the question has come up. i don't have the answer. i came up to see what has been happening on the trip but suffice to say the u.s. is concerned about the humanitarian situation, the secretary did announce a short time ago another 68 million to provide direct humanitarian assistance to yemenis caught in the
6:08 am
fighting on behalf of the abd-rabbu mansour hadi government and members of the houthi who are trying to retain control of the government. so there's a lot of significance movement under way, but clearly as long as there's still fighting, they are still trying to help u.s. citizens, their families escape from the fighting and trying to work with other countries on working out what the secretary says is a critical need to get a political solution to the crisis in yemen rosalind jordan with that update from djibouti let's move on. an afghan judge sentenced four men to death for the murder of a woman wrongly accused of burning a carron. eight sentenced -- koran. ate sentenced to imprison. charges against 18 were dropped. the woman was killed by a mob in
6:09 am
march. >> reporter: the murder trial was closely watched in afghanistan. 40 are on trial. the case was televised. four were given the harshest punishment. >> we have sentenced each of you to capital punishment death. our decision on these four people is not definite. they have the right to appeal. >> the 27-year-old was wrongly accused of burning a koran, and was brutally attacked in march. they beat, kicked her and set her body on higher. hundreds watched. some recorded it on their phones. that evidence was used in the case. a sign was put up in central kabul with the attack happened and a shrine put on the riverbank. afghan women carried her coffin
6:10 am
at the furniture - breaking with tradition. thousands demonstrated calling for justice. many were angry not only at the crime, but that it happened in public while the police were present. 19 police many were on trial. some say they called for back up but none came. their verdict and possible sentencing is due on sunday a member of the murder investigation commission a woman's rights campaigner, joins me from kabul. good to have you on the show especially as you were close to what happened. i imagine being emotional. do you believe that justice has been done? >> well actually it was an exceptional case in the history of afghanistan. everyone watched the case. a part of the justice has been done, but not totally. we have a second and third quote
6:11 am
to appeal for justice, with people accused. >> the brother has been speaking out. he has been outraged. the perpetrators are out there. basically the case was nothing more than a showcase. >> well actually a few people escaped and were not arrested yet. secondly enough skilled people as a posterior, as intelligence and the police, to provide enough evidence and documentation to bring those people who were involved to justice. this is a part of our system which we have. and another is corruption, and a woman could not get proper justice, and have a defense point. in this case it's also that the prosecutor could not provide enough document and evidence to bring the real people to justice.
6:12 am
but the people accused in a death sentence there was enough against them and for 16 years was like involved in different level, and the people were declared innocent. the feared justice with this case because the judge forget if the judge was not able to provide the evidence to punish them i think we should remember about one of the article, a number of 5, 3, 4 that those who are the problem, and the people who are around could not, like help or protect according to the law should be punished. >> what is so shocking, there were so many aspects to the case that were shocking but so many thought it was okay to watch her being attacked. what do you think the show is about afghan society at the moment, and the challenges that
6:13 am
need to be overcome when it comes to women. >> actually as i said it was an historical case and had a big influence on the public. it was taken seerles that we had lots of cases. a woman stoned and killed and everyone watched no one brought to justice, or justice to the victim. it has a lot of positive influences. we have objection under procedure in part of the justice. good to have you on the show. thank you for taking the time out to talk to us. in iraq's capital baghdad six were killed by a car bomb in a business distribute in the center of the city. the bomb went off in an area which included restaurants, shops and a mosque. there has been a spike of bombings in baghdad in the last

6:20 am
health and other challenges that victims face. >> even those on their own, it was difficult condition, not to talk of those that were rescued from captivity. >> for now, they are trying to make sense of their ordeal and their freedom. another battle lies ahead. will they be accepted by their own communities now that they are free? some are hopeful they will not be stigmatized. many more are worried that their pain and sorrow is far from over. another 120 migrants have been rescued from the sea off libya, now brought back to shores. thousands risked their lives trying to cross the mediterranean. single women face the most hardship. we met some who made it as far as libya and asked about their

6:25 am
his own party, seeing he evacuated the foreign ministry and everyone nose binyamin netanyahu has less than 13 hours. >> sorry, when you say blackmail, do you mean in the sense they'll be jostling for positions in the next government? is that what they are vying for at the moment? >> yes. actually no one is talking about substance. for instance this marginal issue of the occupation and the conflict with the palestinians or domestic issues. yes, it's about portfolios this very neoconservative party, the jewish home headed by natally bennett's is looking at the minister of justice, which is the minister that will be involved in appointing judges the supreme court and the attorney-general.
6:26 am
and, of course they have already pocketed the ministry of education, with a lot of influence, political influence on our chip, and the values you sell to the schoolchildren. binyamin netanyahu on the other hand if he gets the 61 majority the minimum, he will convert his weakness into political power, diplomatic power, and to say you know, i have constraints, everyone is blackmail of course i cannot make dramatic moves or concessions, have mercy. he said yesterday that 61 is a good number. >> he is a wily politician. thank you for talking as the clock ticks towards the future let's get the whether with richard. news of a tornado in northern

germany. not something you hear of often is it? >> it isn't. when you think about tornado, you think the u.s. has ownership of then. in fact, they are in every continent on the clean. europe sees its fair share, more than its fair sir. the weather front spawned the volcano near rovt tabbing. you see -- rostock. you see the people walking through, with damage to cars overturned the wind must be strong. you take the u.k. we had the birmingham tornado, an e f2. measuring up to most things you get in the united states. if you think about 2004 this one, that caused injuries, several hundreds and destroyed a couple of hundred homes. across the continent we have
6:28 am
outbreaks of tornado, taking place north-east of moscow 1984. 11 tornados, some f 4s and f 5s. where do you think the worse one was. it was down in malta where you expect fine weather. just before the foundation of the letter but 600 people were killed in that event. the weather in the next few days dry and fine dramatic stuff. thank you for that. still ahead - slipping away. why one of the most famous glaciers is retreating at an alarming speed and why football fan protests in indonesia forced f.i.f.a. to get involved.

situations of violence because the numbers are growing year by year. >> if we can't stop the conflicts, how do we protect the people. i was shocked that they are not protected under international law. >> well they are protected under international law in the sense that all human rights are theirs. humanitarian principles should be upheld when the islamic state replaced 2.2 million. they did all violations of international law. they don't have the additional protection that refugees have from the geneva convention. the eternal displaced, 38 million are in a vulnerable situation. it's terrible to see that the

90% went more than 10 years now in that kind of situation. we have to help them out. we have to help them into new and dur ag solution. -- durable solutions. yes, i want to ask you about the durable solutions, you say it's a failure by the international people bad government. how do we stop this how do you help them? it's as difficult and as sump as having the armed groups and the government sit down and discuss reconciliation and cooperation. it's as difficult and easy as to get the russians and the americans and saudis and iranians and the turkish, for example, to discuss the conflicts of the middle east. and not pull in opposite directions but pull in the same direction. it is too have people
