tuesday. and police and soldiers as well. the police and socials were not having the protests so they put up a barricade and blocked the protesters. they were agitated and angry. they kept telling people go home but people refused. the police then fired tear gas at the protesters. some were arrested and of those arrested the police forced them to pick up [ inaudible ] and barricades before. i spoke to a presidential advisor, and he said they are disrupting things. he says as far as they are concerned as a government that they are linked to the alleged coup plotters because they were cheering when the coup first took place. that means they are guilty and he a warned them if they continue the government will crack down very heavily on them. >> reporter: protesters are

vowing to keep taking to the streets. malcolm webb got a chance to meet a few of them. >> reporter: this man who doesn't want to be identified has been coordinating protests on the streets bujumbura for more than three weeks. he said police shot at him. he says the president should not run for a third term in next month's election, because they say it's against the constitution. the president has said the protests must stop and many activists fear being arrested. >> translator: there are many protesters and we have to find them something to eat. or if they have been injured we try to take them for treatment. >> reporter: since the failed coup there have been mostly police and soldiers on the streets. he went to talk to them. there's an argument between two factions. the men from the largest group

say they will not shoot at protesters, but the smaller group will. >> translator: they are ordering us to get off of the streets so they can fire at protesters. >> reporter: he says there are more than a hundred ored nicers involved. a lot of the activists weren't out here on the streets, but instead coordinating things from hiding places. since the coup announced its failure, a lot of those activists we can't get ahold of at all. we filmed this activist last week. he is normally a lawyer. he was organizing demonstrations and meetings using three phones. he spoke in code because he thought the calls were tapped? >> translator: we need somebody to poor cold water, maybe we can study on the issue later. >> reporter: since the failed coup all of his phones have been switched off. we also filmed this man last

week. he says he has not had time to do his normal job, but when he is not in the middle of protests, he is a dancer. he trained this troop last year. he also does acting and comedy too. he says he hopes to get back to it soon. i asked him if he was worried about things out on the streets getting worse. >> translator: those who see the truth will come and join in the struggle. >> reporter: he seems unworried by the threat of more violence. everything here feels less secure since the failed coup. but activists and protesters alike seem undeterred. to iraq now where at least eight policemen have been killed in isil attacks on police stations east of the city of ramadi which was taken by isil on sunday, and just ten kilometers away from a base where shia militias are

preparing a counter offensive. zana hoda reports. >> reporter: they are preparing for a war that could deepen the sunni shia divide in iraq. shia fighters are 30 kilometers east of raw maw-- ramadi. they plan to recapture territory from islamic state of iraq and the levant. >> translator: we're announcing that the popular mobilization forces are getting ready to take back anbar. people asked about our help about a month ago, but politicians were reluctant. >> reporter: the council did request such assistance when ramadi fell to isil on sunday, but the council is not representative of all sunni tribes many don't want shia forces on their land and would have preferred arms. officials in baghdad are insisting that these fighters who are backed by iran are no longer militias and operate under the government. they are trying to calm sunni

fears. even the u.s. has expressed concerns about deploying them in a sunni province but now it says it backs the government's decision. there are those who don't agree, they say the paramilitary troops are stronger than the state. but for the time being they are the only force capable of fighting isil. regular forces are still weak and they weren't able to hold ground in the face of isil's offensive in anbar. the u.s. is stepping up air strikes and has promised to help the iraqi government recapture lost ground but isil is still on the cough offensive. people are on the movement. the armed group targeted security forces in the town east of ramadi. the fighting has already displaced thousands. makeshift camps are being set up in pockets of territory still under control of the government and its local allies but not all sunni tribes support the

government and decent is growing. >> translator: we are here to help our people. the council and government aren't doing anything. >> reporter: reaching out to the people of anbar is needed to win this war, but the government has done little. >> translator: what have our children done to deserve this? we haven't eaten for two days. >> reporter: the battle for anbar has still not begun in earnest, and already there are fears of its consequences. sunni leaders have long demanded that they secure their province. defeating isil is just the first challenge. if shia forces fill the security vacuum, it would mean another war. a three-day conference in riyadh has ended with support of exiled president hadi. hashem ahelbarra has more from

riyadh. >> reporter: surrender or face war. it's the warning issued to the houthis by yemeni factions and tribal leaders gathering in the saudi arabia capitol, riyadh. president hadi who is in exile called for arab joint troops in yemen to protect civilians. hatdy's only chance to return to yemen is a defeat of the houthi fighters. >> translator: this will pave the way and lay a solid foundation for resolving all of the issues. ladies and gentlemen, the houthi militias and forces loyal to ousted president sa-- saliva misread the conditions. >> reporter: but they say the houthis must pull out of areas they seized.

>> houthis must understand they will not be a solution without the houthi respecting the resolutions of the security council. they have to withdrawal. they have to understand that what they are doing is bringing dissensions and probably splittering the country. >> reporter: this is the leader of one of the most powerful parties in yemen. his party played a significant role in the '2011 uprising that toppled former president all la. >> translator: the houthis are the ones that declared war on the yemeni people. we have to resist them. >> reporter: but if the factions seem united against the houthis, they are far less united in their vision about the future. the successionist in the south are determined to break away from the north.

>> translator: people of the south are looking for a genuine partnership with the north. two states united in the 1990s. any future agreement must acknowledge that yemen is in fact two separate states. >> reporter: coalition war planes bombed houthi positions in the capitol sana'a. there are heavy clashes in the cities of ta'izz and aden. millions of yemenis fear the protracted violence will only aggravate the humanitarian situation. the international community seems unwilling to get militarily involved in yemen. it's main goal is to bring together all of the feuding factions to negotiate a deal and give diplomacy a chance. hashem ahelbarra, al jazeera, riyadh. joining us on the phone is a yemen researcher for human rights watch. thank you for being with us.

you spent time in sa'dah and sana'a, and you are currently in the capitol. can you give us an idea of what life is like there on the ground? >> absolutely. at the moment as [ inaudible ] some people [ inaudible ] sana'a is undergoing heavy, heavy air strikes. as i understand it right now, they are getting [ inaudible ] an area they hit last week. as i understand it they are still trying to target other military weapons. [ inaudible ] actually shaking as we speak. inside sana'a the situation more generally is not crisis mode. fuel is getting in in limited quantities. it is more expensive, but you see cars on the road. food is getting in as is water, but i have to say you see lines

of young children at different water stations trying to gather water for their families. you see lines at petrol stations that span hundreds of meters. people having waited two, three days just to get a little bit of petrol. we were in [ inaudible ] on mission for the last two days up there the situation is much worse. sa'dah city has been drastically destroyed by air strikes. all government buildings have been taken out. they have hit the markets in the cities which has lead to a food crisis. we have also seen targeting of homes. whether or not members of the family were affiliated with the movement, we have seen entire families wiped out. in one case a family of 27 was killed and three were wounded.

so the situation there is really quite dire. there are no phone communications for the most part in the area of sa'dah and absolutely no communications [ inaudible ] early on in the strike, so it's very hard to get information out of there. we could go up there and see the situation [ inaudible ]. >> we -- we mentioned earlier there, the communication from the riyadh conference is. what do you think that means for the humanitarian situation in yemen? does it give you cause for any hope at all? >> i think the problem are many [ inaudible ] sectarian communities. for one as long as [ inaudible ] at least and aerial blockades, there is a limit in how much aid can come in by boat and -- and by plane, and of course the main thing that is urgently needed in yemen right now is

fuel. and the humanitarian organizations aren't able to fill the needs of the yemeni people, so until [ inaudible ] can come in the situation on the ground won't improve dramatically. and even if aid can get, there are no aid organization that [ inaudible ] that very much needed aid to different cities where fighting is fierce. also they are running out of urgently needed medical supplies. so i hate to say it's hard to be optimistic at the moment. >> good to speak to you. thanks for your time. coming up in this news hour protests turned violent in southwest china over a proposed railway line. plus unicef says millions of teenage girls get married every year. child rights activists discuss

ways to end the practice. and in sport, a crisis ahead of america's biggest motor race after yet another spectacular crash. ♪ all of that still ahead, but first rebels in south sudan say they have captured a refinery near an oil field in upper nile state. the rebel group say all companies should shut down and evacuate their staff immediately. last month they vowed to capture key installations to force the president to step down. south sudan's information minister told al jazeera there are no refineries in the area and explains why the believes the rebels will not succeed in bringing the country to a stand still. >> to set the record right, we have no refinery in upper nile.

and only refinery that we have was a [ inaudible ] and it was interrupted before it could be opened. so their claim that they have kptured the refinery is not correct. because there is no refinery over there. they believe that it is only the [ inaudible ] the problem, and they are demanding that [ inaudible ] that is why they rebel. and of course they come out with their own objective. the question is can they achieve that? for me i don't believe they are capable of doing anything they are incompetent and they will not make it. instead they will have to accept what the government does. a taliban suicide bomber has attacked a justice ministry in afghanistan, at least five were killed in kabul and more than 40 others injured. it coincided with the end of the working day when board buses and cars to go home. also from afghanistan, 11

people have been jailed for failing to stop a beating of a woman. >> reporter: the judge said police failed to help the woman as a mob beat her in brood daylight in kabul. in that and their failure to carry out police duties meant 11 were sentenced to a year each in jail. >> translator: after thoroughly investigating the documents, the judicial decision is in keeping with the law, the officers know their rights and been given time for defense. >> reporter: this was the second round of verdicts. in the first four men got the death penalty and eight others 16 years each in prison. 18 others were freed for lack of evidence. all of the defendants can appeal.

the court case is unique for its openness. it was televised live and it was the first time police have been publicly prosecuted. there were also irregularities. some of the most prominent murders, easily identifiable from cell phone footage haven't been caught. those in court to watch the case they are disappointed with the trial and the verdicts. >> it was a political game. the whole thing was designed how to calm peoples minds. the court is going to give death penalty, and that would be the perfect answer politically for them. >> reporter: the murder shocked afghanistan, and many hoped it would spark a change in the justice system. critics of the trial say the sentences have been too light and not all of the killers have been brought to justice. there is a shrine on the spot

where her body was burned and this street has been named in her memory but there's no certaintive that her murder will change afghan people's minds about justice or violence against women. state-backed sexual violence in egypt has increased dramatically since the military takeover in 2013 according to a new report. it accuses security forces of subjecting detainees to rape gang rape and virginity tests. men, women, and children are being abused to in their words eliminate public protest. it also found those responsible are rarely held to account. katherine booth is from the international federation of human rights and joins us now from paris. thank you for being with us. on what basis do you say this is part of an overall policy to

stifle decent? what evidence do you have of that? >> well we've seen a massive surge in crimes of sexual violence perpetrated by the security forces and the wide-spread nature of those crimes, the patterns and the similar lair advertise and the methods used as well as the almost total impunity enjoyed by the perpetrators lead us to believe it is a policy aimed at humiliating, destroying stifling civil society and any public protest. >> were there specific orders from the top to carry out these kind of acts? how far up the top does this go? >> well we don't have evidence that these crimes are being ordered from the top. what we do know is that they are being committed in many

different areas of egypt in police stations in detention centers, in unofficial detention sites as well as at check points during security checks and so this -- this very wide-spread nature of the crimes which are known to those responsible for these agents of the state, and nobody has been held to account, would indicate that this is tolerated by the egyptian authorities, if not encouraged. >> have you had any reaction at this point at all from the egyptian government on this report? >> we haven't been able to engage in dialogue with the egyptian government on this particular report. we had established a constructive dialogue with the authorities on previous documentation that we undertook

on -- concerning crimes against women in the public sphere but the particular airty of this report is that it concerns not civilians participating in mob rapes around the square but state actors police military national security intelligence themselves responsible for crimes of sexual violence. and what we're talking about in terms of these crimes is sexual assault, rape, rape with objects, various forms of sexualized torture, including electric electric electricution of sexual parts. and forced exams. >> sorry to jump in but in terms of the time frame here, what is the pattern that you have seen as far as these accounts? in what particular time period

do most of these -- are you saying most of these things have happened? >> so we have seen a surge in this type of crime by these actors since the army regained control in july of 2013. we have been documenting the wide-spread sexual violence against women in the public sphere before that date gang rapes, and other sexual assaults during protests and sorts. and then towards july 2013 we began to get increasing reports of people suffering sexual abuse at the hands of the authorities, and that is what lead us to conduct this extensive documentation, and to establish these patterns which we have seen since 2013 and progressing to -- to today. good to speak with you katherine booth from the international federation of

human rights joining us from paris. thank you. now the u.n. is urging indonesia, malaysia and thailand to boost sea rescue operations and let desperate migrants reach land. thousands of migrants stranded in the sea are running out of food and water, and thai police say a suspected kingpin of a major human trafficking network has turned himself in. scott heidler has more from southern thailand. >> reporter: this is the pier many of the businesses are owned by a former politician. now according to police he is the key suspect in human trafficking here. now just off of the coast that's where those boats of rohingya and bangladeshi migrants have been drifting. thousands are desperate to get on to shore, it's a situation the u.n. says could turn into floating coffins. >> reporter: nearby check points

upper nile state. luke joins us to talk more about this from copenhagen. thanks very much for being with us. i'm hoping you can clear this up for us then. different versions of this coming from different sides. the rebels saying they have captured what they say is an oil refinery in upper nile state. the information minister saying there is no refinery there. so my question is who is right here? and does it really matter in the general scheme of things? >> well it's the information minister who is correct here. a foundation was lead of this refinery in late 2012, but construction never really got underway. so it really is just a slab of concrete, but a very tonight position, because it is within

striking distance of many of south sudan's oil installations. >> give us an idea of how important oil is to the economy of that country. it really has been the battleground, if you will in all of this. >> right. oil is really the bread and butter of the south sudanese government's economy. it generates around 90% of the south sudan government's revenues on an annual basis. so for the rebel group if they are able to shut down and capture oil fields they are really able to gain a strategic bargaining chip. and these oil fields which are close to this construction site where think refinery is located, this is really the life blood of the oil industry and therefore central to the economy and south

sudan's able to generation revenues. >> given all of the conflict and violence that has gone on in this country, i suppose the question is is oil really more of a curse in this country than a benefit? >> i -- in though midst of a civil war, it is certainly not helping the matter. we could see if rebels are able to shut down more oil fields we could see this really escalate the conflict. they would have sort of an emboldened position to try to overthrow the government. the government will look for more support from its regional neighbors, and this would turn into more of a regional conflict and oil, of course is at the center. >> good to speak to you. thanks for your time. >> thank you. now the children's organization unicef says boys and girls as young as seven years old have been abducted raped and killed?

unicef says in the past two weeks, dozens have been killed rapes, and recruited as solders. >> we know that they are likely to be on the [ inaudible ] side and this is impacting many many more children. this is quite horrifying and a very very dark sign for where things are going at the moment. >> reporter: the attacks against children coincide with the south sudanese operation against rebels in unity state. the president has been battling rebellion by his former vice president. presidential and parliamentary elections were supposed to be held next month, but in march parliament extended the president's term for another three years. the international committee of the red cross says as the fighting continues civilians will be at even greater risk. south sudan already has a high rate of mall nourishment, as

the problem is the same too many new arrivals not enough clean water. >> they are drinking out of the lake. they are drinking out of unclean water sources and that is a recipe for disaster when it comes to disease. >> reporter: diseases like cholera, from contaminated water or food, it can kill within hours. there have already been several cholera deaths in poorly equipped camps. >> translator: family members are dying in this front of our eyes. we have heard that some people will bring in medication but even if they do it won't be enough, because there is so many people here. >> reporter: many more are on their way, tanz kneeian soldiers check both the young and old as they wait for buses to a nearby camp. the adults know that peace has been fragile back home. anyone over 20 lived through civil war in burundi.

old girl, who gets married off to a man who is two or three times your age, and you are pulled out of school and then you become pregnant and while your body is still tiny, you have to give birth, the chances you will survive are very low for child brides. so it's not only a major human rights abuse, but also really an impediment to development. we the global community can never eradicate poverty as long as we have child brides being married off every day. we know it happens because of poverty, because of the low status of women, security issues and because of tradition. people think they are doing the right thing for their daughters because that's what it has always been. but being here together with civil society organizations from all over the world, more than 60 countries, change can happen. we need to empower girls.

make them realize they have rights. we need to sensitize their families and communities, to help the leaders in the communities understand that they are economically better off if these girls get married after the age of 18. the annual general meeting of the energy giant royal dutch shell has heard calls for more transparency about the impact on climate change. a rig is scheduled to start drilling in the arctic soon. protesters in seattle staged a weekend protest. dominic kane has more. >> reporter: the issue of climate change was high on the agenda here in the hague. a group of shareholders had found a way to get a resolution on to the order paper which compelled the board to go into more details about how it reports climate change and the issue that arise from it. before the meeting took place, i

spoke to several delegates and others and an activist from green peace explained to me green peace group had real concerns about the commitment to reduce climate change and it said the percentages of emissions that shell was responsible was something that should be looking into. i spoke to a campaigner from alaska who had flown all the way here to explain the plight of her people and why she believes the threat posed by drilling in the arctic is so serious. >> and i hope that the board might be able to -- to realize, you know, how high the risk is for them to attempt to go out there and check these seas because it's a very dangerous place to try and drill right now. they don't have a proven technology that will -- that will be safe enough to drill out their in the ocean.

>> reporter: shell says that the arctic ocean represents a huge opportunity for it but also presents it with a huge responsibility. it says that the risk-management procedures they have in place are unprecedented and that they believe they could deal with any spill that right occur in the arctic. they say they are ready and believe they can minimize any danger that may be posed, but whether that is actually what happens remains to be seen. police in texas have been warned of revenge attacks from biker gangs. rob reynolds reports. >> reporter: motorcycle gangs have been part of american popular culture since marlin brando road with the wild ones in 1953, but the romantic image is at odds with the reality of out law biker gangs. >> they are criminal enterprises. they are individuals interested in dealing drugs, guns and sex.
