technology meets humanity. only on al jazeera america. >> acting houthi forces launch a new campaign to secure the yemen port city of aden. hello, you are watching al jazeera. also protests against turkey's attacks on the pkk in the mainly kurdish city. another night another bid by desperate migrants to get to britain. a cyclone is whipping across the bay of bengal bringing floods

and landslides. thanks for joining us. anti-houthi forces including forces have launchedded a new offenseive near aden. they have been advancing as part of the campaign to secure the southern port city from houthi attacks. it's important because of its close proximity to aden. the anti-houthi fighters are trying to take control. a civilian has been killed in shelling in a border town inside aden. yemen's vice president has been surveying the damage. the prime minister is the highest branching ranking official.

more than 4,000 people have been killed since the coalition started bombing houthi position months ago. >> what happened, residents will never forget the horrible scenes. on behalf of the yemen government i renew the u.n. to visit. the world food program begins delivering food. the population is in need of aid. >> reporter: this is one of the first airlifts to take place. they managed to recapture the airport. the houthis and allies, hundreds of tons of much needed aid being delivered by the air force now unloaded by locals. behind me to the right you will see the passenger terminal. when we arrived here a few

months ago the sign read enter in peace and security. two things that millions wish they had. an already impoverished country over 80% of the population in dire need of humanitarian aid. look as the control tower, you can see the shear destruction that has been inflicted for this strategic city. around we see the armed men those fighters, like i say loyal to the president. they are in uniform. they are volunteers. many never picked up a gun before. however, there have been reinforcements some sort of special forces which we have seen that we understand belong to the tpp coalition that have been supporting the government by request of the president to establish some sort of security

here in aden for the government to return with an outlook to spread the authority. not only aden, but the rest of the country. although they are in control of aden international airport the situation is still fluid. that's why the aircraft that has delivered the aid is only staying for enough time to unload the cargo before it takes off again. there is still shelling and motor attacks that take place. >> two soldiers have been killed in what's described as a suicide bombing in eastern turkey. a truck packed with explosives. 24 people have been injured. the pkk has been blamed for the attack. violence has increased. they have been protesting

against the turkish air strikes. police fired. politicians are calling for a resumption of peace talks with the pkk. kurdish protesters in northern iraq are calling for an end to the bombing campaign. some are condemning iraq's kurdish regional government for asking the pkk to withdraw from its territories. they want the group to leave to stop civilians being caught in the cross fire. >> reporter: attacks against turkish security personnel the army the police continuing. there have been numerous incidents over the past week, a total of 22 turkish soldiers and policemen killed. but the latest incident really signals an escalation because according to the governor of the

province in the east of the country a suicide bomber parked an agriculture vehicle outside an army base and detonated the explosives killing two army soldiers. the governor is blaming the pkk but there has been no claim of responsibility. so these attacks are continuing. turkey, for its part, keeping up the pressure on the pkk targeting its bases both in northern iraq and on turkish soil particularly in the eastern province. as the ongoing campaign against the pkk causing tensions between the turkish government and the kurdish population, they have been taking to the streets denouncing the air strikes urging the turkish government to return to the peace process saying violence is not going to solve this issue. and the pro-kurdish party the hdp, accusing turkey of focusing

the campaign on the pkk. now, turkey denies this saying that they are targeting two terrorist organizations and we did hear the turkish president say that there can be no resumption of peace talks unless these attacks stop. so an upsurge in violence and increasing tensions in turkey. >> john kerry is in cairo for security talks. kerry is going to try to ease egypt's concern over the deal with iran. also the growing threat of armed groups in the sinai peninsula and the ongoing fight against isil. >> this is something i know you will want to talk about. turkey has come to the table. there are always concerns about what that means. but i can assure you the activities are clear and delineated. and we can discuss that in the

course of the morning. it is vital for us to focus on question of all violent extremist groups because it goes to the very question of the stability of the middle east. an egyptian court is expected to deliver its verdict in the retrial of three al jazeera journalists. they were convicted in june last year supporting the banned muslim brotherhood. they were later freed on bail after 400 days in prison. all three denied the charges. more than 200 migrants in the french port have spent another night trying to cross into the u.k. they have broken down several security fences by the tunnel entrance. french riot police responded by

spraying them with chemicals. they arechemicals. the church of england is criticizing britain's prime minister for what it calls his lack of compassion over the migrant crisis. we report where demonstrators and rival protests clashed at the terminal. >> they came in, a residence group campaigning for better treatment of migrants trying to reach the u.k. they say authorities and british politicians have to do more to save migrant lives. in particular, the lines of those trying to get through the channel tunnel from france by clinging to cars and trucks. nine have died since june. >> there are a lot of people that feel the way i do, it's a force for good, we need to treat our fellow human beings with respect.

>> there needs to be a european initiative that sets up properly managed refugee camps where people can be properly fed and processed rather than let to live like animals in the jungle. >> a few yards away, protesters with an all together different view. britain first, and the english defense league are both opposed to immigration of any kind. noisy and with the usual symbols of english nationalism. but with an argument that resonates with some. >> we have quite a enough here. our country is on its knees. we need to concentrate on our people here, our veterans, our homeless. allowing more people into this country is going to deteriorate our system more. >> just a few hundred yards from the entrance to the tunnel, what many people see as the front line.

colorful and noisy though they might be, they are from both extremes left and right of the political spectrum. it shows you how polarizing this issue has become. in this corner of england migration is creating strength. more than 600 unaccompanied children are seeking asylum. 400 migrants have made it across since june. this is not a rich place. when there is trouble the after shocks are felt here. disruptions led to traffic delays. they are offering more controls. he speakings of problems lasting all summer. europe's migrant crisis has reached the u.k. shores and politicians are beginning to feel its effects. activists have begun a 40

day march to washington d.c. to highlight inequality. the journey for justice began in selma, alabama, the scene of of a crack down on civil rights protesters 50 years ago. they are hoping to attract thousands of people along the way. the march will continue 1200 kilometers from georgia south and north carolina and virginia. it's going to end with a rally in ideas on the 16th of december. >> in the history of civil rightings, few places are as iconic. it was here 50 years ago that foot soldiers led by dr. martin luther king, jr. marched for voting rights and were met with clubs and tear gas. that day became known as bloody sunday. it let to the voting rights act

of 1965. given african-americans the power to cast ballots for the first time in u.s. history. >> your vote matters. as we visit selma and understand how the people fought hard. >> today selma remains as a living testament to those achievements. many feel the battle is far from over. >> it's painful to realize that racism is still alive and so many people spend time trying to keep people of color from voting and strategies that they are going to make that happen. it's disheartening. >> senator hank sanders was a student when he marched with dr. king in 1965. he says this latest march will raise awareness of a wide range of issues. >> not only voting rights, equal jobs equal education all

across the field. so that's why this march is so necessary 50 years afterwards. >> what the organizers behind this journey for justice is trying to do is bring civil rights issues back into sharp focus to make sure the sacrifices and achievements weren't for nothing. 50 years ago they brought about one of the most important pieces of legislation in u.s. history. now legislation seen as targeting minorities and their votes is emerging as the new battle ground. >> we have this modern day slavery that wants to treat us in many ways the same way. that's not what i thought would be happening in 2014, '15 '16 or '17. >> the civil rights era is one of the most important chapters in history. but for the future, there are

still more battles. >> >> the march to washington will highlight important issues for everyone in america. >> the 50 year anniversary of the civil rights is on october 6. they will bring attention back. equal protection of housing rights, police brutality. the kind of sensor that african-americans had that are still resonating today. they are going to stop in north carolina, alabama, georgia and having teach-ins and sessions and workshops on how we can improve voter education in the united states, how we can improve access to healthcare, how we can improve access to simple rights of where people can go to school and buy housing. i think those are concerns that all americans have.

it's been evident from what i have seen that you have people there of all races all religions. freedom and equal action toes equal access is something important to all americans. business is slow in burundi. but they are hoping political stability will bring progress. and riothey start putting it toes test.

unreported holocaust. but some are reluctant to acknowledge the massacre. >> reporter: the quiet little town in central hungary but you won't know a thing about the secret. the roads run paved, this is the roma part of town. during the war her father was taken from here. he did hard labor as a boy of 14. her mom was nearly shot and killed on the trip to the shops. she spoke a little about what happened to other family members. >> translator: my mom's grandmother was taken by the local police. the roma were digging their own graves. they were shot and put in them. she tried to escape but was caught and they shot her too. >> reporter: her son agonizes should he tell his kids what he knows. it's important but so shocking.

>> translator: it's hard to explain to the kids. my grandmother told me about a beautiful roma woman who smeared excrement on herself to they wouldn't rape her. >> reporter: the mass killings have been described as the unreported holocaust. it might have been worse than countries have been prepared to accept. these historians say they have accumulated evidence that the number of places where the murders took place might be four times as many as was thought. they found more than 900 locations. nobody knew, they say because the roma were never allowed to talk about it. >> translator: one thing did not happen even after the car. the row roma couldn't feel free. they remained a persecuted group. the culture and language was forbidden. racism were still there. they weren't allowed to have a free mind.

>> reporter: nor has hungary made an attempt. this is where the roma were taken to either to die here or be put on the railway lines to auschwitz. other places might have turned this into a museum. here it's been left to rot. just up the road, the only roma mayor, despites the way it's air brushed out of schools. >> translator: the young people i speak to don't know about it. they could negligent the holocaust with the jews and don't think it happened to roma people. i'm a history teacher but it isn't mentioned in the books. >> reporter: after years they tried to have a memorial put up. shaped as the black triangle they were forced to wear. someone took a ham tore its side. they are now europe's most persecuted group and have neither the means or opportunity

to write their own history. at least 500 people in india have been stranded after a landslide blocked a highway in a northern state. torrential rain forced rocks and stones on to the highway. nearby temples attracted hundreds of thousands of pilgrims to the region every year. those same rains have hit neighboring country. >> reporter: many parts have been submerged in heavy rain and the floods and landslides that have followed. people are doing what they can to escape from the worst hit areas. mainly to the west and north of the country. all but one of the country's 14 provinces are affected by flash floods making it hard to reach or support everyone.

government run shelters are open to provide temporary homes. tens of thousands of people are displaced. 500,000 acres of farm land, crops and livestock have been affected. the military has flown in aid. the president went to visit some of the evacuees in the northwest. it's monsoon season and people expect some rain. but this time it's been especially heavy and is expected to continue. the shear number of people affected is overwhelming. aid groups warn there are people in parts of the country who they have not reached yet. the sunday morning harold newspaper says a plane seat washed up and then part of a

plane wing. investigators believe it's likely to be from the missing malaysian airline's flight 370. the plane disappeared in march last year with 239 people on board. burundi's third term president is the urging unity after winning a contentious election that the community says was not credible. he has accepted a position in a unity government. he's trying to find peaceful solutionings to the political crisis. >> reporter: this is a popular restaurant owner. but the recent violence and political crisis have slowed down business. but he is optimistic about the future. >> it's improving. little by little. the economy is still down, i can

see. hopefully maybe little by little we'll come to understand the situation as before. >> reporter: the crisis began months ago when the president announced he would seek a third term despite a constitutional limit of two terms in office. he has since won that election. he lost 13 family members during the civil war that ended in 2005. he believes a solution to the political problems won't come from the international community. >> to find peace it's not through obama or through to make obeyance. when we are in the world what makes peace we need the government to give the time to

see what they need. >> reporter: the capital is now relatively quiet. a few months ago this place was tense, grenades were thrown into the market. after that happened, many people chose to stay away. now look at it. they hope things stay this way. but there is still a lot of work that needs to be done. there are other things to consider. >> translator: but the army and police are divided. we saw this during the recent protest. all arms of security need to be united. we hear there are people, militia, who want to start the rebellion from outside the country. these are uncertain times. >> reporter: they are trying to resolve the crisis. they disagree so some of the issues. it could take months or weeks to set up a unity government if it's ever formed.

guides for the blind competitor one of the most complex. the countdown has begun with this the paratriathlon event. it's a rehearsal for the athletes and organizers but has a competitive edge. >> there has been criticism of the water being used for the outdoor swimming and rowing events is polluted. something they will look at this week. but most importantly what did the athletes think. >> fantastic. smooth fast, warm. all the things i like. i can't wait to come back next year. >> he won gold, so, of course, he's happy. the local people, those that could be dragged from their sunbrighting showedsunbathing.
