arrives in the capitol sanaa. ♪ hello, nepal has been shaken by another big earthquake and at least 16 people have been killed. police say another 600 injured people are in hospital. the epicenter of the magnitude 7.3 tremor was near a popular stop for climbers on the track to mt. everest and sent people running from buildings and felt as far away as indonesia and two weeks since nepal was devastated by another quake which killed 8,000 people and injured 17,000. andrew simmons is live for us in kathmandu and andrew where are you right now and where were you when the earthquake hit, describe to us what happened? >> reporter: well it was really extraordinary. if anybody wanted to know how it

must feel for the people of nepal going through that first earthquake which was larger than this all had a telling experience here because the building behind me is a hotel. it's a solid foundation for this hotel but it was literally like some sort of jelly, it was just going from side to side and the experience on the third story was awful. it was shocking. i was trying to workout whether to jump out of the window if the building started to collapse because i was convinced it was going to collapse and to try and run, some of my colleagues ran from the building down the stairs and i stayed put along with some others and got under a table, in fact. i heard some people had been survived the original earthquake from getting under betz and things like that so that is what i did. we eventually got out, i ran down the staircase and lasted no more than 35-40 seconds but it felt like at least 15 minutes for the sheer magnitude of the

thing. then of course outside everyone was evacuated and there was an aftershock of 6.3 magnitude and, in fact, half a dozen aftershocks and panic everywhere and at least 19 buildings we are told collapsed within kathmandu and you can see here some phone footage from one of my colleagues just something like three, four minutes after the quake and people just trying to use their phones and the pandemoniam of phones being used to commute and communicate with friends and relatives to them they are alived and it crashed because emergency services were using them and just hearing that the home ministry has told al jazeera that the death toll now stands at 29 it jumped up to 29 as a whole and there are 1,000 at least injured. so this is climbing.

it's nothing like the scale of the last earthquake but seriously rising so many buildings have collapsed and search operations going on as i speak. >> all right andrew simmons reporting to us there live from kathmandu on the latest earthquake to hit nepal. there has been heavy gunfire in burundi during another protest against the president there. [gunfire] fighting between police and demonstrators opposing pierre nkurunziza's bid to run for a third term and u.n. saying at least 20 people have been killed since the protest began last month, malcolm web is there on the outskirts of the capitol. >> reporter: so far today there has been reportings of more police shooting at protesters, one unconfirmed report from local media that another person has been killed the eu says more than 20 people have been killed since the protests started and seems there is a limit to how much violence the security forces can unleash

because when ever the soldiers are around they manage to urge the police to use restraints. the soldier and army is seen as being neutral as long as they are deployed protesters say they are relatively safe. what happens in the coming days depends if protesters are able to keep their numbers up and keep the pressure up if the army does keep them safe obviously that means they can increase pressure on the government but if they are met with force then of course there is no way that protesters with sticks and stones is stay there in the face of tear gas and gunfire. >> the international organization for migration has called on southeast asian governments to find and rescue hundreds of migrants believes to be stranded at sea and at risk of death indonesia navy redirected a boat of migrants to may malaysia coast and not accept more boats and on monday they detained migrants including dozens of children and 2000 people reached indonesia and

malaysia and we will have the latest in a moment but first we have more from the malaysia island. >> reporter: this is one of three vessels that transported more than a thousand migrants from myanmar and bangladesh to the shores of malaysia this week many of them were bangladeshi and officials tell us there were more than 400 rohinga muslims and many of them women and children and conditions on these boats must have been terrible. you can see clothes still stren on the deck with cooking and baby items, there is room clearly beneath the deck as well as on top of the deck to house the passengers and the muslims we spoke to told us food and water were extremely scarce and they were often beaten as well. now police say they are stepping up and monitoring of the maritime borders because there are reports that thousands more migrants are still out at sea.

>> we are stepping up on activity in the sea to make sure there are no illegal encroachment. >> reporter: the migrants are now being protest by the immigration department and what they are aiming to achieve is refugee status in malaysia and for that to happen the u.n. has to recognize them as refugees and has to issue them with identity cards. >> the indonesia military confirmed no boats with migrants are welcome here in indonesia and actually have pushed back one boat yesterday on monday out of indonesia waters and given directions to malaysia. what happened is indonesia military saw the boat and said there was a lot of people on the boat and around a thousand they describe it and said there were screams coming from the boat and a bad smell and bad situation and they gave the people some water, some food and medication and some fuel and then pushed

them back. earlier on sunday two boats were actually accepted on indonesia land because these people already managed to make it ashore and this new policy the military is describing is different than the past because since 2009 indonesia has been accepted boats with migrants in different parts in indonesia and a few thousand arrived in indonesia and all accepted and handed over to their u.n. hir or the international organization for migration so this is a different policy right now. >> new u.n. envoy to yemen arrived in the capitol sanaa hours before a ceasefire proposed by allsaudis is due to take effect and the foreign minister called for resumption of talks between pro-government forces and houthi rebels. >> translator: any ceasefire and any halt on military operations is supported to help

it's true what more do we know? >> well the report was started by of course the murdered opposition politician boris killed in february and that report was finished by his colleagues and investigators and economists as well. it looks into a number of different areas of russia's involvement in ukraine but the primary areas of investigation were russia's military involvement and russia's financial cost what it has incurred to the economy and the actual cost of the war itself. now, the allegations in the report are that paratroopers were persuaded by their commanders to quit from the army and go and fight in ukraine as volunteers, taking equipment with them. now, the report says that these

paratroopers were told that they would be compensated if they were injured fighting in ukraine and their families would be compensated if they died. one of the main planks of this investigation is none of that compensation has happened but it does say that some 220 russian servicemen have died in ukraine over the course of the last year. now, the other area of investigation is how much this has hurt russia financially so it is talking about figures like $39 billion lost from russians salaries, $14 billion lost from their savings because of the sanctions, the conflicts in ukraine has incurred russia and then also $1 billion for the actual fighting itself, the cost of the actual war, volunteers and equipment provided to the conflict. >> reporting to us there from

just chad but other countries who have been helping them fight boko haram like niger and cameroon and it's evident in the fact the group has been severely diminished and very few attacks in the northeast over the last few months and in the last few weeks we seen the rescue of hundreds of women and girls in the region in the forest specifically where it's believed that that is boko haram's last remaining strongest stronghold in the country. and there is a sense, there is a feeling that boko haram is soon to be over so it's not very clear, the basis on which debbie is talking. he did not give specific examples about specific military operations where there was a lack of coordination and a lack of a united front which he described in these comments. >> fighters in mali killed nine soldiers days before a peace deal was due to be sign and defense ministry saying an army
