>> people i spoke to said that the wreckage found had been planted. >> translator: it's not true. a lot of things would have been easy to find, but they didn't find them, like the chairs, baggage and other stuff much lighter. >> translator: during this time we cannot believe anything. because the aircraft is gps.

the airline doesn't want us to know the truth. that's why we can't believe them. >> independence only the malaysians confirmed that that piece was from the missing flight mh 370 where does this leave the investigation going forward, what happens next? >> reporter: well, i think the fact that the french investigators have not been as categoric as the malaysian government is fueling the suspicions of the families. when you speak to these people. it's quite clear the huge sort of psychological toll the last 16 months has had on them. this is something they think about when they wake up in the morning, it's the last thing they think about before they go to sleep. it's had a huge toll and strain on these people, which is why they have become hostage if you like, to every sort of fanciful theory going about what could have happened to mh 370.

the fact that only one piece of wreckage has been found is proof that the search must go on. these families will get a chance to put some of those questions at another meeting in beijing on friday morning when a senior official of malaysian airli meet families and relatives of the missing. it's going to be, it's fair to assume, a heated, angry and emotional encounter. >> all right. thank you for that from beijing. the to ban has bombed the truck at an afghan forces base killing six people. three soldiers and three civilians were killed in that explosion. dozens of others were injured. the nigeria based arms group has kidnapped 135 people. boko haram killed at least eight people. cameroon is part of a regional

force fighting that group. we are joined live from the nigerian capital to tell us first what you know about the kidnappings. >> reporter: well, the kidnapping happened shortly after some villages were attacked in northern cameroon. nine people were killed in that village. locals are telling us that more than a hundred people, roughly 135 people have been taken away or abducted by boko haram fighters after the attack on these villages. we are seeing how boko haram continue to abduct people. although the last few months we have seen how the military have succeeded bringing the captains from boko haram. >> what are authorities or even nigerian authorities saying about the thousands of nigerians that have been sent back to their country from cameroon? what reasons are being given?

>> well, largely it's a bit of a concern for the cameroon authorities after a spate of suicide bombings in the northern cities and other places. last week the authorities arrested three people including some nigerians including a nigerian who they said was arrested with bomb-making equipment, trying to access some locations. so the authorities are really concerned that among the 12 to 17,000 nigerians taking shelter in cameroon, they could be boko haram hiding within that community. they deported 2,000 already. but nigerian authorities are saying the numbers are higher than that. we are seen how the emergency management agency are reporting

that more than a thousand people have been on the border following recent upsurge and suspicion on the part of cameroon that some nigerians some boko haram elements hiding there are actually members of boko haram. seven civilians have been killed in fallujah after a market was hit by shelling. locals are hit in the cross fire between isil fires and the iraqi army trying to recapture it. civilian casualties are rising. just a warning some viewers may find some images disturbing. >> reporter: in fallujah bullets and bombs don't discrimination. and the wounds have only grown deeper.

residents say the young are now just as likely a target as the old. civilians of all ages are under siege from both isil and the iraqi army. >> translator: look at this, this happened as a result of artillery shelling by the army. look at this, are we terrorists waging the war? are these innocent children waging war? this is my daughter, she's dead now. what did she do to deserve this. >> reporter: many parents who thought the hardest trial would be surviving the war are now faced with a far crueler fate, surviving their children. >> translator: we are in a dire situation here. we can't go outside the city limits. my son here has a small daughter who got killed by the shelling. she was a year and two months old. this is our condition now. we want medication, proper

surgery. >> reporter: even hospitals are caught in the cross fire. >> translator: we are entering the second year of this crisis. we are not treating terrorists, we are treating babies, infants. we need more doctors. >> reporter: instead, just days later, this sanctuary for the sick was turned into a casualty of war. here moments after being shelled, the hospital's corridor is line with broken glass as smoke billows through the air. a medic searches for injured patients and wounded colleagues. homes are no safer. in this video a man decries the killing of an entire family. enraged at iraqi officials that are providing them with more destruction than protection. walking through the house he says was destroyed by government

bombing raidings, he points out all the blood stains. we can't find the young kid under the rubble. they say they are targeting isil. where is isil in here? are young children somehow now affiliated with isil in more expressions of pain come from this graveyard, two sisters their mother and aunt are laid to rest. while the offensive may have only started a few weeks ago for residents of fallujah war is too familiar. for over the decade it's been the scene of insurgencies and many feel caught in a never-ending conflict. iraqi government leaders who vowed to defeat isil in fallujah say they have arrived at the moment of truth. families in fallujah worried that promise means they will fails more fighting and their reality will become far more

heroing. hiroshima marked the moments it was flattened by an atomic bomb with prayers silence and calls to abolish nuclear weapons. thousands gathered to remember that attack. >> reporter: for decades he kept the most haunting images. in recent years he's been committing his memories to canvass, memories dominated by the image of a baby in a pile of bodyies. >> translator: the baby was facing up with its arms extended like this. for me, this baby represented the a-bomb. it seemed totally unscathed, as if somebody placed it there. such cruelty.

>> reporter: bomb that pulverized the city was 8:15, august 6, 1945. 70 years later, a minute silence. and a message from japan's prime minister that the one country to be attacked with nuclear weapons would continue to work for their eradication. >> translator: japan intends to renew its efforts to bring about a world outnuclear weapons, with the cooperation of nuclear and nonnuclear powers. >> reporter: the aircraft that delivered barely unimaginable destruction was named for the pilot's mother. for the people of hire row shima, it was hell. the figure would rise to 140,000

by the end of the year. hiroshima didn't cease to exist. life went on and the city was rebuilt. its current mayor called nuclear weapons evil and to praise japan's passivist constitution. while the prime minister wants to loosen the restrictions on his military listened on. events are still influencing japan's politics today. as the average age of the survivors are past 80 for the first time this year, organizers say it's the last major anniversary at which significant numbers of them remain alive. a last opportunity to pass on their experiences for future generations. many are doing just that. in the peace park beneath the ruined dome that stands in permanent memorial, and in kego's case, through art.

his old school friends convinced him to paint the horrors. now he says they are all dead and nobody left to tell him he did them proud. still ahead on the program education inequality. we'll tell you about the daily battle for south sudan's girls to get to school. and the sounds of the underground calls silenced as it causes chaos for commuters.
