d taken steps when a man was assaulted, maybe freddie gray didn't have to die. >> is there still a blue wall of silence in american cities? >> did somebody get shot? fault lines baltimore rising only on al jazeera america >> hello warm welcome from doha. catch me if you can sudan's president flees south africa an an international arrest warrant. >> world leaders accused of a shameful failure. >> nepal reopens heritage sites issue kathmandu valley after the
9:01 am
devastating earthquake. >> the sport including the gaudin state warriors on the brink of their first nba title in 40 years. i'll have the highlights from game five of the final. >> sudan's president is on his way home. not quite a fugitive from justice, but not quite a free man, either. al bashir flew out early from the african unit summit in africa and his sharp exit from a military airport came while a judge is still deliberating whether to hand him over to the international criminal court for crimes against humanity. diplomatic embarrassment which could curtail future travel plans. we are live in johannesburg. a very busy day there.
9:02 am
>> those court proceedings have been adjourned for a short while. that's for the judge to consider all the arguments made so far this morning. also, what's quite interesting is looking at potential defense from the south african government as to how president al bashir managed to leave the country and the roles south africa may have played in that, what's emerged so far from the african defense lawyer is that al bashir was not on the passenger list, so possibly going forward africa could say we couldn't stop a man that we didn't know was on that flight. >> he left from a military airport. what does that suggest about him leaving and how little control the law has over certain elements of africa? >> with rewards to the interim
9:03 am
order put in place by the court on sunday, rewarding al bashir's departure from the country the order saying he wasn't able to leave the country the military was not a respondent in that, so the courts wouldn't have jurisdiction over that military base. keeping al bashir in the country would include or would have what would be necessary is the cooperation of a number of different agencies here in africa, and ultimately would have needed the cooperation of the military, which wasn't possible in this particular situation. >> absolutely. many thanks for the updates there. thanks very much. now we cross over to barnaby phillips, live for us in the hague where of course the i.c.c. is based and pretty i am baring there for the i.c.c. what's the reaction?
9:04 am
>> well, no public reaction officially. it is a fiasco. the i.c.c. put out that appeal to the stricken authorities that they should do everything they could to ensure the arrest of al bashir and yet he has slipped through the south africans fingers. i have no doubt that the i.c.c. will try and put a positive spin on this, if you like. what they will say is look that was over al bashir. he will think very carefully about it in the future. certainly his exit from south africa could not be described as dignified. it was hurried and may have involved some type of sub at her final. they also say this after all is an indictment for genocide. there is no statute of limitations. it lasts for mr. omar al bashir's lifetime.
9:05 am
they draw parallels with recent history, the late leader of yugoslavia evaded justice for years but it caught up with him eventually. these are the kind of brave words we are hearing from the i.c.c. today but undoubtedly this has been an embarrassment and setback. >> why does the i.c.c. find it to difficult to get its member countries in africa to comply with its rulings? >> the i.c.c. has a particular problem in africa and that's very apparent. african leaders believe very strongly that the i.c.c. is prejudiced against them, that it almost uniquely has pursued african leaders and warlords. the response, of course, from the i.c.c. is hold on a second, that shows that we are making
9:06 am
extraordinary efforts to show human rights are being complied with. many cases were brought by african leaders themselves and they say in part this is a reflection of the relative weakness of african judicial systems. the i.c.c. can only operate in countries which are signatories to the treaty, dudely speaking, that means africa and western europe and that pulls into play the larger crisis of legitimacy internationally which the i.c.c. has. you look at syria, for example it cannot deal with possible crimes there, because syria is not a signatory. in fact, almost all arab countries have chosen to the not to be. the united states, india russia china all global powers remain outside, as well. >> very interesting. thanks for joining us there from the hague. >> now at least 20 people have been killed in a series of
9:07 am
blasts in chad. witnesses say suicide bombers on motorcycles simultaneously attacked two buildings in the capital. one bomb went off at a police academy. there has been no immediate claim of responsibility. >> world leaders stand accused of a shameful failure. amnesty international says millions face misery in the worst refugee crisis of our era. more desperate people are trying to reach safety in turkey. 13,000 have crossed the border in the past week, fleeing fighting between isil and kurdish forces. amnesty's report says that 4 million syrian refugees are struggling to survive in turkey, lebanon, jordan, iraq and egypt. there are more than 3 million refugees in sub saharan africa.
9:08 am
almost 2,000 have died this year. hundreds more have died in southeast asia's sea rohingya muslims fleeing persecution in myanmar. most refugees even when they reach safety struggle to survive. we have a report from a camp in northern iraq. >> the main street of the refugee camp is lined with life. young gamers play inside. next store, older ones do the same. several barbershops means there's competition for the closest shave. all sure signs of a developing micro economy. not all who call this camp home are convinced things are looking up. he is 30 years old and has four children. their tent is a playground dining room and family meeting
9:09 am
place. >> you see this child, she became very sick. when i took her to the hospital, they just gave us something to clean it with and sent us home. that's because they don't have enough medicine. >> there's just one health center for the 10,000 mostly kurdish syrians who live here. most people share one toilet between six families. things are changing. these tents have been homes since this camp was set up in august of 2013. there used to be many, many more. the camp used to stretch pretty much as far as you can see here. the u.n. and the kurdistan regional government started moving people on, building them more permanent accommodation in another part of the compound. >> there, we met muhammed, his three daughters and his wife. their home has a kitchen, a modest back yard and a toilet they don't have to share, but
9:10 am
building a life, he said requires more than ment. >> in the past when we first got here, it was fine. i worked hard and had a very good income, $800 to $900. now i can't find a job. ever since i moved to this part of the camp, i can only find enough work to earn $200. >> his experience is common. most syrian refugees aren't allowed to work, but poverty is rising. more than a million iraqis have flooded the area, causing tension. >> refugees from syria are better off than iraqi i.d.p.'s they are lucky, given more facilities and better chances, asylum letters, residency permits and there is nothing to make their live more difficult. everything is getting easier for them. >> with the kids in school, many parents have no plans to return to syria.
9:11 am
believing life is or at least will be better here. >> unrest is growing between australia and indonesia claiming smugglers were bribed to turn back to indonesia. opposition politicians demand an inquiry. we have this report from sydney. >> did australia pay smugglers to return these asylum seeker to say indonesia? on monday, australia's prime minister was asked repeatedly to confirm or deny the allegations. he refused. >> the consistent position of this government has been not to comment on the operational details -- and what has been done to stop the boats. >> stopped by bribing smugglers the allegation is that six crew members on a boat carrying asylum seekers were paid $5,000
9:12 am
each to turn around. >> we spoke to the boat passengers in a group and they did confirm to us that the australian authorities did pay money to the boat crew, and no that in fact was the case, they were turned back away into the open seas, it would go against everything that we are advising and urging states to do in this type of situation. >> turning boats around means not helping asylum seekers onboard and paying people not to smuggle could encourage others to start. >> such payments, if true, could become an incentive for fisherman in indonesia to get into a race for cash by helping to smuggle asylum seekers. >> lawyers say paying smugglers to carry people anywhere probably breaches international and australian lawses, although prosecution would need to be led by australia's government, so
9:13 am
it's not likely to happen. >> there's a question of legality and also of what's right and wrong on any face of it this would be wrong. >> crimean government leaders are demanding answers and summoned australia's ambassador in jakarta. >> i need the opportunity to talk to him directly, because we are really concerned if it is confirmed. >> indonesia has launched its own investigation too. >> would australia's government really pay criminals not to commit a crime? last week the very idea seemed ludicrous, but the prime minister's non-denial and mounting claims in indonesia that the payments did take place has many believing that they must have done. for now australian's government is standing firm but at some comfort with the relationship with indonesia and widespread derision at home and abroad. >> eight years after magna
9:14 am
carta, one community still fighting for justice. >> back to school for south korean students, with extra precautions. >> why indonesia's football team has an unsettled future. >> nepal is hoping to welcome back tourists after the devastating earthquake in april. heritage sites are expected to reopen soon, including the historic square. the director of art history in qatar joins us now live in kathmandu via skype. good to have you with us. this reopening of historic sites is a sign that some things are getting back to normal in nepal.
9:15 am
what are the areas that you are working on? >> thank you very much for having me. normalcy is something that is very, very critical in the recovery pros. i've been here in the last five weeks, coming back from doha back to my homeland and working in the government valley, which has sustained the most extensive damage in terms of the historical legacy of nepal. we have about 743 monuments that have been registered at either completely collapsed or sustained significant damage, and the monsoon is upon us right now, and unless some of the monuments that are still standing are stabilized, there's a real danger that these will collapse. >> what happens there to a historic it awhen the monument, whether the historic believe on it collapses is gone.
9:16 am
what happens to that site? >> absolutely. one of the things we have to realize is that this is a living heritage site, so the government valley itself is like a living museum that tangible and in tangible heritage is as to closely tied together. the collapse of the monument really means that the life cycle, the ritual sacred silent has been disturbed and the sacred spaces where people come in every day to worship to pray, that whole cycle has been irreversible in its damage. so, even today, we have the wonderful 12 year cycle of the sacred rain making deity and that, you know, cycle should have had already been, that process should have had begun. again, because of the extensive damage, we are not able to again, you know, do the ritual
9:17 am
cycle of the monumenting that are related to the monument itself. >> it is important, of course, to get things back to normal, for things to return to normal, but unesco warns these sites are being opened too soon, that they are unsafe. what are your thoughts on that. >> the government itself has seven world heritage sites, and from the survey that i have personally done, three are in absolutely precarious state. in that, the sides of the buildings are very sensitive the building might collapse, and so there's still a lot of stabilization that still needs to be done. secondly, salvage is still on going at that site, however, you know, of the other four remaining, i think it's completely reasonable for tourists to come to these places. it's also critical for us to
9:18 am
feel that sense of normalcy, because they. a itself dependency significantly on the tourist traffic. >> ok, let's hope tourists do return soon. thanks very much for giving you will go an idea of the situation there in kathmandu. >> thank you very much. >> the whole country is trying to rebuild the ruins of the quake. in rural nepal volunteers are help to go deliver care to new mothers and their babies. we have this report. >> she is a broken woman. she had singlehandedly been taking care of more than 100 women and children's health, but can no longer even talk about her work. when the earthquake hit nepal in april, she lost what was dearest to her her two grandchildren. i was so happy to the working in child health. i used to go on house calls, but
9:19 am
this is what god did to me. >> she is a community health volunteer, one of the 52,000 women who ensure that pregnant women, newborns and children under five are healthy. now, she feels lost. >> community health volunteers like her are said to be the backbone of nepal's health services. now many of them are struggling with their own losses, leaving the entire health system broken. >> out of the nine community health volunteers in this village of 600 houses, she did not make it. she was buried with her two children, as she was running to save them. 16 people in this village died. >> i feel like i've lost half move body, he tells me. the health post has walls that rattle and the cracks on the walls scare patients and health
9:20 am
workers. the government says it might take at least four years to rebuild, but that is if decisions are made fast, and the morale of the health workers stays high, but with so many health workers facing their own battles and with the monsoon season expected to cause landslides and bring disease people in villages like this expect more suffering. al jazeera. >> a north korean soldier has walked across the world's most heavily militarized border in a bid to defect to south korea. authorities say the teenager approached a remote guard post to cross the demilitarized zone. the last attempt was in 2012. more than 1,000 defections from north korea to south take place every year, mostly via china. >> stands return to class in
9:21 am
south korea. two and a half thousand schools reopened but 440 remain shut. with exams coming up, students are wearing masks and taught to halt the spread of the disease. we have the story. >> monday morning and it's back to school. the mers closed 3,000 schools and universities as a precaution. some parents remain anxious about taking their children back to class, even if they are wearing protective masks. >> i'm worried about classes resuming, but i hope our children can enjoy school life again in a secure environment. >> every pupil is checked to make sure they don't have a temperature before they are allowed in. teachers are looking for other symptoms, too, lessons begin with an introduction to a reason they've been off school. the aim is to reassure parents and children that they have
9:22 am
nothing to fear. >> we mitigated concern by taking precautionary measures in every school. if schools are closed too long that would pose difficulty in running the school curriculum. >> not all schools are opened. many like this one have kept their doors firmly shut. >> this is one of 400 schools closed. no case of mers has been reported in any educational establishment, but while the mere suggestion looms large over the country, some are taking no chances. it's here where the focus of attention remains, the medical center in seoul, one of ski i seoul's largest and most prestigious hospitals. it's suspended the bulk of services after identified as the epicenter of the spread of mers. every precaution is being taken to contain the outbreak using
9:23 am
hand sanitizers and facemasks. some sports fan were undeterred, watching a baseball game. >> i'm not that worried about it. no one is afflicted with mers around me. >> the virus is confined to hospitals, medical staff patients and their visitors. the world health organization says there's no suggestion mers is spreading in the wide community. while doctors continue to keep a close watch on all infections, all that everyone old and young can do is try to carry on as normal. al jazeera, seoul. >> let's get you the weather. we have news of tropical storm carlos threatening. >> it's the third one we've had. this is only june, so it's quite early. it's not entirely surprising, because here at the moment,
9:24 am
we've got sea temperatures about 30 degrees and there you can see carlos just spiraling around. at the same time it's also worth noting this cluster of storms in the gulf of mexico, that stands something like an 80% chance of forming into a cyclone development. even if it doesn't it will produce a lot of rain. let's come back to carlos. now carlos is just below hurricane status at the moment. it will go back up to hurricane status briefly category one, but if it runs further north at a fairly slow pace into those worse, it will change energy. lack of electricity and flooding and affecting the surf in this area, as well. across parts of the accident, big rainfall to get and i think we'll see this whole system developing, heavy rain moving into western parts of louisiana eastern parts of texas and that
9:25 am
heavy rain continues to move up the coast of mexico. >> thanks very much. it's 800 years since the signing of magna carter, hailed as a symbol of freedom and justice around the world. as the celebrations get underway an eco community said their freedoms are being infringed. >> on this used private land, an eco community gathers around a fire. deep among the sycamore trees they live in homemade dwellings exist on the land. >> a very short distance away, the great charter or magna carter was signed between the king and the barres 800 years ago. it was a document that came to
9:26 am
represent the freedom of the individual from the arbitrary authority of the monarch. it's a notion that's begin to go wear thin here as the new owners plan to develop the land and this community faces eviction three years after they arrived. >> the criminal justice and public order act is a prevention of the event this evening. >> this is tyranny. this is tyranny. this is an abuse of your power. >> sir i'm here to -- >> i'm delivering my message back to you. this is abuse of your power. >> the villagers say they face frequent harassment by the police. >> the establishment is starching their feet over us saying you think you're free men, well here's some of our law. they are dishing it out hard, now. today we are told we are not to attend the celebrations.
9:27 am
by constables wearing the crown doing the queen's work. >> the seat visible from the village, its party preparations disrupted, her majesty's law viewed with disdain. >> i don't believe that anyone has the right to draw lines on a map and to decide that this is mine and this is yours. the land is everybody's. >> they are not judgmental. you go out there and you're judged so much from your class rich people are judged, poor people are judged and we are all equal and environments unable that to be created. >> as magna carter celebrates its 800 road anniversary in the presence of the queen it's unlikely the village will see its fourth. >> as far residents are concerned, the arbitrary exercise of authority is alive and well.
9:28 am
al jazeera. >> still ahead here, this al jazeera news hour, havana turns into a gallery as art lovers from around the world descend on cuba. >> the sky's the limit as this year's air show. >> brazil plays their first international tournament with a humiliating defeat at the copa america.

9:31 am
turkish side of the border. >> this is the third time this frontier has been opened by the turkish within the last two weeks or so. we think about a couple of thousand syrian refugees left the town today and they're telling us that it is all but deserted. it remains under isil control but we're told that syrian kurdish forces have the town encircled. the refugees are waiting just on the other side of that border checkpoint. they may open it again later on today. once they come through the children are vaccinated, everybody's registered and they are allowed to go and live with relatives or in refugee camps here in turkey. >> that report from bernard smith in turkey. as we reported earlier in the news hour, it's not the only country coping with a large influx of refugees. lebanon is home to more than a
9:32 am
quarter of the 4 million people who have fled syria. joining us from beirut, the head of lebanon's emergency response to the refugee crisis. it is a huge number of people coming into the country. what support has lebanon had to deal with it? >> thank for having me with you today. lebanon has had some considerable support from the international community from the united nations agencies inside the country however all of the support hasn't met all the needs. the country the same like turkey today the country is today hosting about 1.5 mommy syrian citizens. this is a number very huge in comparison to our own population only 4 million people. we are a small country. we are dealing with an increase in population of about 30% in
9:33 am
only three years. money is not coming to the government funding only goes to international organizations. it goes to local n.g.o.'s. at the same time, money is decreasing. today, funding is spreading all around the world because crises around the world are increasing, we have more crises this year. it is affecting everything in the country affecting lebanon's ability to provide support to the syrians and hinders the international organizations that are supporting lebanon to continue to provide the necessary support. >> since the start of this year, lebanon has severely restricted entry by syrian refugees. if you have more international support, would you open the
9:34 am
gates again? >> it's not about closing the gates. lebanon has not closed the gates in front of syrian citizens. lebanon continues to host syrian citizens and we will never close our borders in their faces. what we have said is that we have a population of about 1.5 million additional citizens residing in our country in a country who's infrastructure has not been able to provide for it's own people. we need to otherwise entry. it's not about restrictions. it's about a number of people -- it is not about restrictions today. it doesn't have to do only with money. it has to do with numbers the number of people reas i hadding in lebanon today, we have a density of population, what is needed is other countries to start sharing the burden. it is not only financial sharing of the burden, it's a sharing the burden in humanitarian
9:35 am
admissions, sharing the burden with resettlement, additional resettlement, as well as providing some safe spaceles inside syria so that syrians can go back and live in their country with their dignity. financial support is very important. >> i'm sorry, there is a slight delay on the line here. i wanted to pick up on refugees being resettled into a another country and whether there are any plans to do that. >> there have been a lot of initiatives. in december, there was a conference held in geneva, where there was an appeal for 130,000 resettlements done by unhcr. this appeal has not been met yet and 130,000 very honestly is a number equivalent to the number which new births in the hosting countries of syrians. for us, this number, 1.5 million
9:36 am
in lebanon and 2 million in turkey and 1 million in jordan, 150,000 from the hole whole region is a very small number in connection to the actual needs. there of efforts not enough. some countries have taken in more than others. we are saying people should open their doors for all kinds of admissions, including humanitarian admissions, education, providing opportunities and building capacity in order for them to return and help rebuild syria. it's not only about reit willment but would be helpful this fees countries show burden sharing with the host countries and with syria at the same time so that we can help each other to help the syrians. >> thanks very much for joining us very interesting to speak to you. >> u.s. military commanders have not confirmed whether a u.s. air strike in libya has killed one of their most wanted targets.
9:37 am
libya's recognized government said the leader was responsible for an attack on a gas facility two years ago. >> three police in tunisia killed in a battle with gunmen. one was killed and another captured during the fighting. gunman killed foreign tourists and tunisia residents on an attack in march. >> to the war in yemen talks to end the complicate have begun in geneva. the u.s. secretary general called for an immediate humanitarian pause. >> today yemen's very existence hangs in the balance while parties bicker, yemen burns. the parties have a responsibility to end the
9:38 am
fighting and begin the real pros of peace and reconciliation. >> our correspondent in geneva, first of all let's establish who's there and whether or not the houthi delegation has arrived yet. >> they haven't arrived yet. they have some issues earlier today in djibouti when they were not given clearance to take off from djibouti to switzerland but united nations sources tell us they expect the houthi delegation to arrive later today and to start talks with the u.n. envoy tomorrow. the u.n. envoy is talking to members of the yemeni government about how to move forward. basically, the international community and the u.n. are hoping to see some progress. they would like to reach an agreement on a ceasefire to be implemented across yemen. if that hams, they will be confident to start talks about
9:39 am
security arrangement and houthis pulling out from the areas they control in sanna in taiz, in abaleh and aden. they will have international monitors on the ground to assure houthis are pulling out from those areas. if that next phase is implemented, they say they would have built more momentum for serious talks about a broad political settlement of the crisis in yemen whether houthis, people loyal to former president ali abdullah saleh and current government agree on a transition period that ends with new elections and a permanent constitution for yemen. >> a plea from the u.n. secretary general for a ceasefire, but that certainly doesn't look like it's happening with more airstrikes and attacks even as these talks get underway. >> it is. they are very much concerned. they say thousands of people were killed, forced out of
9:40 am
theirvilles, thousands stranded across the country. they are concerned they are not able to deliver aid to the people. they can only do that once they have a ceasefire at least a ceasefire for a truce for two weeks that could be later extended. the problem when it comes to here when it comes to the decease fire is the follow. saudi arabia and allies say that we will continue the airstrikes until the houthis pull out from the areas they control particularly from aden. the government says that this is a war that was start by the houthis, we are just on the defensive, defending our villages and cities. we will only halt fighting once the houthis pull out. this is something that the international community has to sort out here in geneva, but with the on going political divide, i doubt they will come to some sort of agreement with a ceasefire in the coming days. >> hashem, thanks very much, do keep us updated once we get any developments. >> a huge fire destroyed part of

stage in these times of change on the communist island. >> there were so many regulations, prohibitions and these new freedoms are like throwing a drop of water on a very dry desert, being absorbed at lightning speed. barely had enough room to paint enough room to paint on the floor in his tiny apartment. today he has the freedom to buy his own studio. his latest paintings show the relationship between cubans and foreigners. >> this is dangerous, like a jelly fish. >> cuban art has become a booming business, auctioned or purchased by visiting collectors from new york to beirut.
9:43 am
>> this is called project salvation and like so many others in this year's gathering, it shows the relationship. it refers to the tens of thousands of cubans trying to cross these waters to make it to the other side. >> michael uses american and cuban flags with empty bullet cartridges to describe decades of bilateral tensions and the long awaited birth of a new relationship. >> this is called fiesta because that's what we're living now, preparing for a party, and waiting to see if it's really possible to be friends and not enemies. >> the paintings are exhibited in his own studio showroom and selling for tens of thousands of dollars. further proof that cuban art like cuba itself is becoming a focus of world attention. al jazeera, havana.

9:47 am
it's been an interesting first day, a more subdued day. i've been top places like this where you get some airlines literally buying hundreds of planes in one go. that's not happened here. it's a lot more subdued. garuda put out an offer for 60 aircraft. other airlines sign you had up for 20 or 30 at a time. it's not been the big huge orders at other air shows. we've got the dubai air show coming up in five months time, so i would expect to see a lot more big orders from the bigger airlines the gulf airways qatar airways. still a very interesting start to the day. lots of sort of smaller planes being bought here, smaller orders for smaller planes. they want to get people through regional areas not the long 14 hour flights the smaller ones and these airlines start to go
9:48 am
replace older planes. i will be interested to see what actually comes out when we hit the next big air show in dubai. >> ok, looking forward to that. thanks very much for joining us there from paris. >> a record-breaking bid to row across the pacific ocean has ended in failure. sonia left a week ago from san francisco. the u.s. sailor has had to be rescued because of bad weather and steering failure. the third-year-old hoped to become the first female to row the pacific on her own. things weren't going right and she's headed back to dry land. how disappointing for her. let's get some happier health news. >> let's give it a go. well, the golden state warriors on the brink of their first nba title in 40 years taking a
