hard earned future. a real look at the american dream. "hard earned". tomorrow, 10:00 eastern. only on al jazeera america. > oo houthi rebels cautiously welcome a pause in the fight in yemen to allow humanitarian aid get in hello, i'm richelle carey, you're watching al jazeera live from doha also ahead - the journey of migrants ending up in a morgue after failing to reach egypt five police men die after a day-long battle with an armed group in macedonia

and the traditional afghan fabric made in china. how copy cat clothes are hitting on a textile company in yemen, houthi rebels say they are welcoming any attempts to pause the fighting and allow humanitarian help to get in. saudi arabia proposed a 5-day ceasefire starting on tuesday. air strikes are continuing. the house of houthi ali and former president ali abdullah saleh was targeted by the saudi-led coalition overnight in the capital of sanaa. they have been accused of breaching international law, by breaching air strikes on popular areas. mohammed val joins us. there seems to be a lot of

conditions as to whether we'll get to the truce. what is the latest on the truce? >> yes, lots of conditions from every side. we hear from the other sides houthis and sadr loyalists, the houthis, the de facto government, told al jazeera that they will positively deal with any move that could alleviate the plight of civilians, help bring humanitarian supplies there, and also go to talks upped the supervision of the u.n. and not go to talks in saudi arabia. and they announced from other sources that they will deal with the truce, only if the blockade on the sea and air will be lifted and if the strikes will be - will be ended. these are lots of conditions and we lack here any information about any kind of rehabilitation by the saudis or any kind of coordination between the two

sides, even if indirect, about how to implement this or respond to the conditions. we know the party of the former president issued a statement welcoming a truth, saying they'll wedge a truce from any side. it's a small step, but could lead to a lasting ceasefire. complications abound here because we have heard in the latest reports a while ago, that iran is intending to send a ship to a port under the control of houthis. in view of the blockade and a condition by the saudis for a truce to hold that a shipment of humanitarian aid should go through the coalition, is iran going to coordinate with the coalition to send the ship to yemen, or is the sending of the ship going to be a complication that will lead to the trees not

happening? >> still today and tomorrow to see with regards to all of these issues. >> so many issues conditions, ifs. all the while fighting continues. can you give us the latest on that? >> yes, developments there across yemen, intensification of air strikes we had yesterday, the spokesman of the coalition saying only in 24 hours more than 130 air strikes across yemen, and the new development is that they are going deliberately and after the leaders of the houthis and the commanders loyal to ali abdullah saleh, and they have not been speaking about this in the first few weeks of the campaign. they are now striking at them one by one at their houses. we understand they don't know where they are, and the latest was a strike on the house of ali abdullah saleh, the former resident in sanaa.

they never said they want to kill or tartget him. this is a new development, and planning in the mastermind in saudi arabia cities or areas. this is another complyication in the war, and the saudis said they'll go to more lengths than any time before, because they have not accepted the truth or initiatives for peace. this escalation by the saudis will compel the houthis and accept whether it will lead to more violent reaction from the houthi side mohammad vall with the latest. thank you very much german military ships rescued 200 more migrants found adrift in the mediterranean sea, most from somali and aera traya. more than it 400 migrants have

been rescued. defence ministers are due to met for talks to stop the flow of migrants from north africa libya's ambassador to the u.n. rejected a plan to tackle the crisis. they said libya has been left out of discussions. thousands of people from middle east and africa depart the shores with many dying at sea. a warning, some of the images from misrata are disturbing. >> reporter: some call the crossing of the mediterranean the journey of death, still thousands and thousands are willing to take their chance. he says there was chaos people shouted. the boat capsized, people fell into the water. he doesn't know what happened next he was thinking of himself, he was rescued by the

coast guard. there were bodies at sea. they have never seen anything like it. he is the driver of misrata's only refrigerated ambulance, he transported dead fighters and saw all sorts of wounds. >> translation: it's horrifying. there's a terrible smell. the bodies were in the water for 20 or 30 days, some eaten by the fish, some bloated by the sun. others floating and fishermen bring them back the corpses are taking to the morgue in misrata's hospital. it's in poor continue. look how they keep the fridge closed. the bodies were found randomly on the beaches. no one knows how many were on sea. some are so disfigured it seems they'll be in the water for a while. by the looks of it they were

between three and four years old. >> they were found on the beach in january. they've been lying here decomposing. no one knows their names or were they came from, somewhere, families are wondering what happened to them. >> it's painful to see dead bodies. no one asks for them. we don't have the means for d number of axe. the fridge coserves the body not frozing them. they stay for month, six or seven. they suffer in death as well. >> reporter: they are given a number. only the location where they are found is registered. it can take a loaning while to bury them, there's -- long while to bury them the unknown bodies will end up in this cemetery tucked between the sand dunes. it was once used by members of the gaddafi military forces.

37 migrant were buried here recently. the stories here will go unnoticed by thousands crossing the mediterranean. any one of them has the real risk of ending their journey here in the misrata cemetery two boats carrying 500 people watched ashore in indonesia. florence louie is on the line to tell us the latest about this. what do we know? >> we know the international organization for migration in indonesia says 500 landed on two boats and landed. there were men, women and children. yes arrived in sick condition.

some were hungry and tired. we are trying to confirm where the people were from. the u.n. considers the rohingya one of the persecuted minorities in the world, and estimates there are one million of them. the government does not recognise them they have no legal status. they identify themselves as rohingya, they are an ethnic minority. some are not allowed to move around. they require a permit to leave town. in other parts of the country local authorities try to limit the number of children rohingya are allowed to have. a lot of human rights say it's a government policy that makes the people desperate to escape and many fall into the hands of

human traffickers. three years ago religious fighting broke out between them. maintain the muslim rohingya and other ethnic minorities who live in the state where the majority of rohingya live. that intercommunal fighting left more than 100,000 rohingya homeless. many living in tents, depending on aid, in appalling condition. it is likely to continue florence louie reporting from myanmar five people are dead in two separate car bombs in iraq. the attacks happened north of the capital baghdad. the blasts hit the town and nine were injured there are reports that arab countries may require air power to help opposition forces in syria. jordan worries supporting the

rebels could threaten its own national security. this report from the jordan yn-syrian border. >> the relationship between jordanian and syrian rebels along the border is anything but clear cut and comfortable. the government has been arming and training. in exchange for protecting the border and keeping extremists away if it. the rebels gain and seize a vital border crossing. jordan was alarmed that the moderate rebels joined forces with the affiliated al nusra front. the threat of terrorism is lurking around the borders of jordan and may take access inside syria if its internal security is threatened. >> today's friends are

tomorrow's strange bed fellows, and therefore we are trying to adjust to the situation. you cannot be all trusting and confident that everyone is walking the line as you would like them to do syrian rebels scored gains in the north and south. there has been reports that arab countries want to help them further weaken bashar al-assad's government of the behind is a border with syria, a strategic province for the bashar al-assad government. it's 100km away from the seat of power. major gains close to the highway would constitute a real threat. there has been talk. countries providing air cover and anti-aircraft missiles to southern syria. reports suggest that this would have to be led.

for the rebels it's been a longstanding demand but not what they have been promised. >> translation: we promised syrians that the regime would not survive a month if there's a no-fly zone. these are no more than media reports. with saudi arabia's attention diverted to the conflict in yemen, and jordan's reservation, observers agree that an imminent intervention by arabs is a remote possibility the pakistan taliban claims to have shot down a helicopter that contained foreign documents, norwegian diplomats were among those killed. a video shows a missile fired at the helicopter hitting it in the tail.

should respect the former private secretary of roxana baldetti is alleged to have been a leader in a construction scam in which officials took bribes to lower customs duties. investigators issued a warrant for his arrest while he was on the trip with the vice president. when she returned she held a media conference to deny wrongdoing. congress was called on to remove iment unity, paving the way to legal action against here. others were implicated in the bribery ring, including the head of the gautan tax authority. >> the president was elected in 2007 on the promise of fighting crime with an iron fist. this scandal suggesting he had limited success. >> otto perez molina is not standing for auction this time

francis to discuss a visit to cuba, new churches are allowed to be built and old ones allowed to return. i asked the head of the catholic church what he expected from the pope's visit. >> translation: it's natural that the pope will reaffirm the churches desire to open up to the world, and the world open up to cuba. the pontiff participated in the dialogue between the united states and cuba. >> pope francis will be the third pontiff to cuba in 13 years, a lot considering that cuba is a small country in an area not so strong. cuba awakened an interest not property organisationate to its side. this visit is particularly did not in macedonia five police

meat in brussels as bankruptcy threatens grease. -- greece. one of the biggest bones of contention is the pension system. >> reporter: leisure is perhaps the only luxury left for pensioners. their money is spoken for. >> translation: i'm paying off a home improvement lone. my children do not have work. i spend the rest helping them and grandchildren, and paying utilities and property tax. >> reporter: pensions make up 70% of the economy and is a safety net for society. at $18 billion, it's the government's biggest expense, despite being cut to half to an average of $900 a month. there's not enough contributions coming into funds because a quarter of greek workers were unemployed and the funds were crippled when they anticipated a $28 million loss on government bonds invested in. a high court decision could

raise the bill to half a billion to $5 billion, because some of the cuts will be ruled unconstitutional. it's likely to widen the gap. >> translation: at the moment there's conflicting views in the talks. i won't pretend it's better than it is. they insist on cutting pensions. we said we will not make cuts. there's a confrontation between us. >> the government emphasis on welfare is popular. it's not affordable as the population ages. they have a plan. >> they want to set up a cash flow by clawing back some money, it would make pensions viable for decades, removing them as an expense. it should remove them from the

people copy the brands putting tickets on there saying made in ghana, when we know that they were not, and also of course talking the designs, which is an investment that we made. >> reporter: many people like to shop in the market, because they think they can get a bargain. you have to know what to look for. when you look at the two labels it's impossible to tell the difference. this is the label on the fake brand, and this is the original. the only way to be sure is to check the number on the fabric matches what is on the label. in this case it doesn't. the government wants shoppers to support the local fabric industry. it introduced friday ware when ghananans are encouraged to come to work in a native fabric. a musician is an outstanding supporter. >> i think we should where africa monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, and friday
