[ marching band music ] >> britain marks 70 years since japan surrendered, ending the second world war.

people near the scene of the deadly blast in china are told to leave from contamination fears as the death toll exceed 100. [singing] >> plus, singing through the pain of war. we meet the children coping with conflict in south sudan. >> first to yemen where pro government forces are making significant progress against houthi rebels. fighters who are loyal to the exiled president abd rabbuh mansur hadi have taken control of taiz. pro government forces say they're in full control of sh abwa province with substantial oil reserves. that means five provinces in the

south are now held by pro government forces. they are shabwa, abyan, aden, lahj, daleh. >> taking control, pro government fighters recapture the main buildings in taiz. it is another victory for abd rabbuh mansur hadi's fighters. they've been able to defeat houthi rebels and soldiers loyal to former president ali abdullah saleh in recent days. on saturday they announced they had managed to expel the houthis and their allies from shabwa after victories earlier this week. these fighters, however, are not content. they say they will continue their fight until they are in full control of yemen. >> we're in constant contact with the other resistant

fighters. we're all working together to cleanse taiz and will now focus our tension on liberating the government of indianapoli --government of ibb ibb. >> the destruction from the fighting is clear. almost all the buildings appear to be damaged. momentum has been on the side of the pro government forces since they captured the port city of aden. this coalition has provided armored personnel carriers, weapons and logistical support to the forces. but it's still not clear who will help rebuild the homes and lives of yemenis when all of this is over. al jazeera. >> well, i've been speaking with the houthi spokesman, and he defended the houthi's military strategy and said friday's pro

government gains were down to a tactical withdraw. >> to begin with, this was not a loss wit with respect to taiz. everything i is under control. this is a tactical withdraw with the purpose of redeployment of the forces and popular forces. this was mandated by the conditions on the ground simply for the reason that aggression managed to propagate the mitigating campaign. and people came to realize that when we headed south to protect the community from al-qaeda.

we feel that isis, al-qaeda, will give in. >> do you believe that thi that a solution is probably. >> the diplomatic solution remains an option. it was and it is still, and it will always remain an option. however, if the other parties continue to delay and procrastinate, there is no other alternative by the military solution. the triumphant party will be the yemeni people. the yemeni people one day will be able to restore their

sovereignty and liberate their land. >> what will it take for you to rejoin negotiations, and to stop the fighting on the ground? >> first, we demand other political forces existing in riyadh. to honor the previous agreement and partnership accord. also to engage in genuine negotiations and to provide or to eliminate the political vacuum. to also have unity government and presidential election, and also provide a scope to contain all political forces. any speech about the withdrawal of committees will result in and

bring about many problems of what happened as we push out al-qaeda, it take control of this work. we expect them to continue to seize control of other cities in the south. >> a seize fire in syria in idlib province in the north and south of damascus has ended. talks between rebel forces on the one hand and the syrian army and lebanese army hezbollah on the other have collapsed. the warring sides have provided rebels with safe passage out of zabadani in he is change for civilians. we're monitoring developments in syria from across the border in beirut. >> the main rebel movement involved in these negotiations, saying that it will no longer

awide by the cease-fire and that negotiations are now over. a few days ago a cease-fire was reached on two front lines in syria. one in the north and one in the damascus country side. and the warring parties were involved in negotiations that would have seen rebel fighters get safe passage to leave the town of zabadani in exchange civilians in the villages--these are two shia villages populated by government loyalists. they would be evacuated. what they sundays that the development has another demand, and that was not just the fighters that zabadani would have to leave, but in changing the demography. they're saying that they will not accept it. so these negotiations really were about a population that would be really unprecedented.

we've seen people being displaced from one place to another, and we've seen parties carve out different dotes, but this would allow the shias who are in idlib, they've been holding out even though much of the province is within the hold of the rebels, they would leave, and the sunni. alation would leave to the rebel-controlled north. so now the rebels are saying that these negotiations are now over, and what we're expecting over the next few days is even more a battle in both these areas. >> circumstances of al-azair arrest are unsheer. al-assir has been on the run since june 2013. that's when he and his followers

engaged in a battle in the city of sidon. in britain members of the royal family and survivors of world war ii remember those who fought and died in the war. 70,000 britains were killed in the conflict with japan. simon mcgregor wood is in london and sends this report from the ceremony. >> the principle service of commemoration that is taking place here and the parade, one of the most famous ceremonial places in great britain and london. prince charles and his wife and prime minister cameron is leading this ceremony. there is plenty of pomp and circumstance, and dozens and dozens of survivors, veterans of the fighting in the far east.

it's important to remember that the collective british memory of that conflict is a little more complexed than the one against the germans. there was a clear sense of triumphantism in europe. in the war in the far east it was far more complicated. many felt they were forgotten and were called the forgotten army. there was a difficult issue the treatment of british prisoners at the hands of the japanese. it's a very difficult post-war legacy that is now fully resolved as this generation passes away. it is the 70s, the last one in which significant numbers of veterans will be able to attend and tell their own story.

>> let's take a look now at the events that led up to the end of the would you. nazi germany surrendered to the allies. the soviet union said it would invade japan within three months, and on july 26th, china, the u.s. and great britain demanded japan's unconditional surrender. less than two weeks later on august 6th, the u.n. dropped the first atomic bomb and hiroshima. and two days later the soviet union declared war on japan, sending its soldiers a million of them, into japanese-occupied territory. on august 9th, the u.s. dropped another bomb more powerful on nagasaki. an estimated 70,000 people died in that attack. then on august 15th face of

emanant december instruction in the surrender of the military. prime minister abe expressed deep remorse, but both china and south korea said that he did not go far enough. harry fawcett reports now from tokyo. >> this man did not find out about japan's cease-fire until two days afterward. he was serving in china and he said his naive nationalism long gave way to the reality of war. he saw that his war would last two years beyond surrender as a soviet prisoner in siberia. >> the military i joined invaded other countries, abused it's people and i was its member.

it was a military of aggression. >> 70 years on, japan is in the throws of a debate of how long a shadow that history should still cast. an 11-year-old boy when his father's surrender speech was broadcast to the nation. today his message is one of peace and condolence. >> reflecting on our past, and bearing in mind the feelings of i certainly hope that it will never be repeated. i give my heart-felt tribute to all those who lost their lives. >> they said that their nation would never repeat the aggression of war. just as on friday in a key statement marking this anniversary he endorsed apologies made by previous governments but did not restate them personally. in south korea where this anniversary is known as

liberation day bringing to an end 35 years on the japanese colonial rule, that did not go unnoticed. his statement contained a more than a few regrettable points. china's foreign ministry said that had been evasive. neither beijing nor seoul would be impressed that shinzo abe sent a donation to the memorial he said he wants to give japan the right, not just defend itself but also it's allies as a normalized nation in the 21st century. the problem is that the past wants to move beyond is still hugely divisive here at home and

with japan's relationships with its neighbors. >> freeing up passivist restrictions remains at 70%. but the post-war mindset seems to be the cause that he's determined to press on. >> north korea has marked 70 years since the end of japan's colonial rule. it was celebrated with a fireworks display. clocks were moved 30 minutes back to remove the country from a shared time zone established under japanese rule. chinese state media is reporting the toxic chemical cyanide found in the port city of tianjin. some residents at the scene are being moved away. the death toll has risen to 104,

and hundreds more people are in hospital. >> the side othe site of the explosion, some areas still burning three days on. officials have not yet confirmed what was stored in the storage facility when it exploded but specialists have been deployed to investigate what happened. some people who live nearby the site are now being turned away. >> i just bought some things and when i got to roughly number nine street i had to get out of the car because they blocked the road. i asked them what was going on, they said that it's still dangerous inside. you can't enter. >> just now police officers came over and said everyone on the road has to go over there because over there they're about to start the final battle in the fire. >> the death toll has been rising each day since the blast and 20 of those killed so far are firefighters. but many more are still missing

and angry family members who had been shut out of the news conference demanded. >> we're families of the victims. why do you treat us this way? >> it's already been three days and three nights since the explosion. i don't have any information about my son. we're so anxious and worried, so we came here to find reporters. my son was in the first squad to arrive at the blast site. >> there are still people being rescued. this firefighter was pulled out of the explosion area after two days. but as the days roll on and fires continue to burn there will be fewer stories like that, instead nor families will likely demand answers as to where their loved ones are, why they can't return to their homes, and potentially hazardous material is polluting their local air. erica wood. al jazeera. >> still to come on this al jazeera news hour, desperate

for food and shelter, thousands of migrants are living in dire conditions. plus... >> in the gaza strip ten years after israel withdraw all of its settlers. coming up we'll hear from palestinians and israelis about how the effects of this so-called disengagement is still being felt today. >> in sport an historic match in hebron. >> the italian navy said that 40 migrants have died after their boat sank in the southern method scene.

>> the director of migrant offshore aid station. that's a foundation that helps migrant my, my grant vessels in distress. he said it's not an issue just for europe. he said it's a issue for the global community. >> the point hits home when you talk to the people. you talk to the people who are compelled to do the crossing. it is an issue that needs to be addressed. we would like to think beyond this. we think it's a global issue that requires global solution. as we speak people are crossing because they feel that they simply have no option and what we say is why saving lives at sea is not the solution. most definitely people do not deserve to die at sea. so as a start whether it's europe, whether it's the rest of

the world, whoever it is, whether it's civil society, we all need to come together and work together and the short- short-,medium-,and long term. no matter what, people cannot die out at sea. fully aware that dying at sea is not the solution but it is the most immediate. >> there are just two days to go for warring parties to reach a deal or face further u.s. sanctions. both sides appear as far apart as ever. in ethiopia, a group of exiles is holding a mass hunger strike in protest of the ongoing conflict. >> the fighting should stop and the peace will be there. we know that.

>> as leaders struggle with negotiations, the reality for the children is one of homelessness, hunger, and fear of being forced to fight. we're in bentui, one of the areas most affected by the fighting, and where just a few young people are getting help. >> 14-year-old peter says he wants soldiers kill his uncle. when the family fled from their village his neighbors drowned as they tried to cross a river. now he and his family are struggle to go live inside this camp in bentiu. he said that soldiers have already tried to recruit him. >> if i join the military, maybe i will kill somebody or get killed myself. i will solve my problems with education. [ baby crying ] >> the children here are enduring the trauma of south sudan's civil war. it started nearly two years ago

after the president fired his deputy and the fighting began. there are teachers who are trained to offer what little psychological support they can. >> most of them it's like they lose hope. >> there are also some recreational activities designed to remind the children of better times, to help them cope. >> they might be safe here, but they are still suffering. there is not enough food, water and shelter to accommodate the thousands who keep arriving at the gate. u.n. officials say that the camp's population has doubled since the beginning of the year to 124,000 people. this is a screening room at an unicef clinic. as you can see its full of children. they're quiet. none of them are playing. that's because they don't have any energy.

an estimated 248,000 children in south sudan are suffering from severe malnutrition. this three-year-old is one of them. she's sick, too. >> there is no choice for us, we'll be safe. we'll tolerate it even though there is no food for us to eat. >> as difficult as conditions may be for peter and others like him, there are at least within reach of assistance. the humanitarian organizations are worried about the almost 1 million people they can't help right now. al jazeera. south sudan. >> still to come on in al jazeera news hour. young iraqi activists at the forefront of peaceful protests against corruption. kenya's struck a deal with rebels and former fighters are

al jazeera. >> under the images of then prime minister sharon israel dismantled and bull dosed settlements in the gaza strip. some were relocated, some using force. the last of the israeli soldiers and security personnel left the strip in september 2005, but israel continues to control all aspects of life in the territory deciding who can enter, who can live, an. >> there is no shortage of work to do in these fields. every day dozens of palestinian farmers cultivate this land growing fruit and vegetable it's. raphet is one of them.

the protest, too. so far it's been working. later in the day as thousands gather i, the mood is a celebratory one. as they pass reform measures from pressure frommallies like this one, the crowd feels empowered. men and women of all ages can be spotted throughout, but it's the youth groups who really dominate here. >> this is the beginning of a civil society movement that will empower them and so many others to demand much-needed change. >> the group can barely contain its excitement. at long last, despite all the challenges ahead of them and their country, they feel a budding sense of optimism.
