4:02 pm
people are stuck on the greek side. at the end of this month there could be 100,000 refugees and migrants trapped in greece. our correspondent reports from the border crossing. >> reporter: it has become the symbol of europe's failure and disunity when it comes to refugees. the border that remains more closed than open. the latest selection system to cross into macedonia depends on the date of rival. these people here came to the 17 $. >> translation: i have been here 16 details. i have no more money. i never thought it would be like this. my son went to germany and it took him ten days. >> reporter: the fields here have become a place of hardship
4:03 pm
and frustration where people roam around in search of answers. over the past three weeks, the camp spread from a transit one designed for 1500 people to this ever-sprawling mull key colored tent village. it stretches across both sides of the track. the long queue on the right is for food. the area is to the north of the crossing point. a double fence separates both countries. the macedonian side. the greek side is crammed with more opportunities and anxious people. it is in the midst of all this that nine year old boy and his family pitch their tent. all five sleep in this fair >> translation: it's not fair. >> reporter: perhaps there are no better words to express how most feel. >> translation: i am very sad. >> reporter: why? >> translation: you can't get
4:04 pm
to anything. the smallest needs of life i don't have. even drinking water i don't have. i just don't know who doesn't open the water, but i am not getting. i don't have anything. you must live here, so they can feel what we are having. i don't like to get thrown just like this with nobody cares for me >> reporter: about one third of those stranded here are children ebelow the age of five. many suffer from diary and fever. officials think diseases could spread if they don't have somewhere safe to move to. political leaders are hoping that the cessation of hostilities will hold and stem the human wave. for those here it is already too late our correspondent has been
4:05 pm
among a crowd of refugees trying to get supplies. >> reporter: many people were worried that they were worried they will run out of cash a few days ago have run out. this is a truck of wood very much needed, especially in the evening when the temperatures drop. in the past few days we've seen people wander into the woods and come back with whatever they could to light a fire. this is very much welcome at this point at least 25 refugees have drown in the aegean sea. their wooden bodies drowned. why are officials warning the situation is likely to
4:06 pm
deteriorate so quickly. according to the u.n. last year more than a million people tried to cross the mediterranean sea. the vast majority tried to cross. this is a break down of rivals by month. it starts off low and peaks in october when 2200,000 people attempted the sea crossing. when you put in the figures for this year, a huge increase from around 5,000 rivals in-- arrivals in january to 70,000 in january. much of this is being fuelled by the war in syria. in total there are more than 4 million syrian refugees, around 2.7 million of them live in turkey. let's discuss this some more. joining me now is a political scientist from the university of yorke. thank you for coming in to speak
4:07 pm
to us. looking at those figures, it is quite staggering to just compare this year, 70,000 arrivals, january 2015 same time last year, around 5,000. it just seems as those the e.u. institutions are pretty paralysed at this point. you have border controls in place, you have many countries essentially rejecting the idea of refugees and migrants in the e.u. what next? >> good question. it is a difficult thing to predict what is next. we are working within quite a lot of levels of uncertainty. first of all, greece want to find a solution. they're desperate because they're just about to talk about a state of emergency in greece. so they need a european solution and this is what the prime minister is saying. at the same time there is a lot
4:08 pm
of uncertainty about the extent to which they are happy to cooperate or which it is a reliable partner. what is going on, on the greek media at the moment, is discussions about whether turkey is actually using the whole situation to put on its claims about essentially the integrity of the facilities can brussels rely on turkey, no matter how many millions or billions it pledging to ankara, to stop them crossing the sea? >> they're going to put a lot of pressure on turkey tomorrow, but we've got to think of this issue in terms of two questions. one is whether we can kerb the immigration flows that are increasing, but at the same time what we're going to do with the people who have already crossed the aegean and are here, they
4:09 pm
are in greece and in various other countries in the european union, and what we're seeing at the moment is a degree of unwillingness, as it were, from the 28-member states to terrace the issue. we need to remember that there is public opinion here at the moment with this fairly hostile imfwrags. let's take the example of germany-- how worrying is it that germany, which appears to be the country that was very much leading the way in opening its borders to many of the refugees that are already here, public opinion now seems to be going the other way. you have far right parties doing better in the polls and there's increasing pressure on angela merkel and her coalition. >> yes. that's right. some people would question whether it was a good idea to talk about open border policy without consulting the other 27 member states. the other thing is public opinion, not only germany, but also across the e.u.
4:10 pm
in france there are fears of a second attack. in slovakia where we had politicians where they entered the parliament with 8% around it is going to be the next president of the european rotatirotat rotating presidency. it is a lot of uncertain to come, i think thank you very much. it was good to get your thoughts of that >> thanks for inviting me an i.s.i.l. suicide bomber has killed at least 60 people in iraq and left dozens more wounded. the attack took place at the entrance to the city of hilla. >> reporter: this is believed to be one of the biggest attacks in years. officials here are saying that it is the biggest attack they've seen in the area since 2003. it follows a string of i.s.i.l. attacks, all of them on civilian targets. >> reporter: the tanker truck
4:11 pm
blew up at one of the busiest checkpoints. instead of fuel it was carrying you can employee sieves. there is almost nothing left here. i.s.i.l. took responsibility for the blast north of hi lrngs illa. soldiers and police manned the check point. many of the other casualties were believed to be civilians, including families heading south or returning to baghdad. >> translation: the blast has complete destroyed the check point and its buildings. more than 100 cars have been damaged. we and residents strongly condemn the attack. >> reporter: the security forces have driven i.s.i.l. fight dwrers out of ramadi and recently recapped toured hundreds of kilometers of the desert. as i.s.i.l. losess more territory it seems to have
4:12 pm
stepped up its attacks on civilian targets. >> reporter: they're making advances and pushing i.s.i.l. fighters back, but as they do that, i.s.i.l. is continuing to focus on attacking civilian targets. the iraqi government itself is facing both political and economic threats a few taste ago you may have been forgiven for thinking it is was a done deal. but in the presidential election there were some upsets. from washington dc our correspondent reports. >> reporter: the front runners from both parties were humbled. >> let me say god bless kansas.
4:13 pm
and god bless maine. >> reporter: texas senator ted cruz won two of the four states and has now defeated trump in six states in the primary. after easily winning kansas and maine cruz says he has sold tied himself as the only republican able to surpass donald trump >> it would be a disaster for donald trump to be our nominee. we have beat him not once but seven times. >> reporter: marco rubio was the big loser failing to win a state and finishing last in maine behind john kasich. as for donald trump he won louisiana. >> marco rubio had a very, very
4:14 pm
bad night and personally i would call for him to drop out of the race. on the democratic side bernie sanders might have rejuvenated his campaign after upsetting hillary clinton in two of the three states that voted showing that while he trails clinton in the delegate count needed to secure the nomination, he still has wide support. >> so we are doing what i wanted to do, excite people, energize people. saturday results in warm up for march 15 when voters will place ballots. >> march 15 will determine where this race is going. if marco rubio can't deliver florida, he is out and if john
4:15 pm
kasich can't deliver ioho he is out more now with our correspondent. donald trump still doing pretty well. he is in the lead, but it looks as though ted cruz has the decisive advantage over marco rubio. gentleman unquestionably. saturday showed us that it is really two candidates on the republican side who are pulling away who is donald trump but also ted cruz. he had a very good saturday. winning decisively in two states, small states, but nevertheless winning decisively over did the. in the two states that he came in second, he was only four points behind. that is very significant. it shows that ted cruz has clearly established himself as the main alternative to donald trump, at least for the voters
4:16 pm
who went to the poll on saturday. it also shows that donald trump is not running away with huge victories as he had been in some states previously. that's where the race really stands. in terms of marco rubio an john kasich, they were pretty much invisible on saturday, especially disappointing for marco rubio who was really trying to position himself as the alternative to donald trump. he just had a very, very terrible saturday, just did very poorly. he is really going to have to regroup especially on march 15 when 99 delegates are at stake in florida which is his home state. if marco rubio doesn't win florida it is going to be very difficult for him to proceed on and have a chance to get the nomination hillary clinton appears to be in the lead, but bernie sanders, some encouragement from this vote for him. >> reporter: yes. bernie sanders won two states and he is getting a little bit
4:17 pm
of momentum back, which he needed after doing poorly on super tuesday. bernie sanders continues to win and it shows that he has hard-core supporters, especially at the grass roots level, that will come out and support him, especially in caulkes. the problem bernie sanders has is that he has less than half the delegates that hillary clinton has, and even with his two wins on saturday, hillary clinton still was able to get more delegates than bernie sanders on saturday because she won louisiana which had more delegates at stake. a win and a loss for bernie sanders in a way. he humbled hillary clinton in some degree and has support but he has to make up the delegates if he and his supporters have a high hill to surpass hillary clinton still very much a game of mathematicss, isn't it. thank you for that.
4:18 pm
there's more to come. a change of direction, turkish newspaper seized by the government prints its first edition since the take over. iran sentences a billionaire tycoon to death for corruption. find out in bars lone if barcelona could keep their wins the compensation scheme for women who were crippled during child birth in island have been condemned by legal experts. hundreds under went a procedure that involved sawing through their pelviss as an alternative to a c-section. a report on the fight for their suffering to be recognised. >> reporter: every set of medical records tells of a
4:19 pm
woman's life being ruined in maternity hospitals. this woman had her procedure in 1964 after a doctor couldn't deliver her baby with fore septembers. -- forcepts. he opened her up with a saw. >> the pain right up through your back passage was unreal. when i would get out of bed in the morning to go out to the bathroom, the water just poured from me. i never made it to the bathroom. it just came from me. i had no control over it. >> reporter: it wasn't only monica who was injured. her baby boy was brain damaged. she spent many years and much of her own money treating him as he grew up and feels his pain as much as her own >> he liked to play football,
4:20 pm
but he really couldn't. things like that was hard, but i had a little girl after that and then she would be jumping or doing something and he would say to me, why can't i do that? >> reporter: she received a total of $54,000. the baseline offered in a baseline schedule drawn up by the irish state. the department of health and the judge have simultaneously refused to grant us an interview, but have also condemned media criticism of the scheme as lacking objectivity. they do, however, take the view that the scheme is the best, fairest and simplest way of compensating women for many years of pain and suffering. the scheme seems to bear no relationship to recognised pay
4:21 pm
outs. one woman took the case to the high court and got well over $300,000. >> you can go up to 70,000. >> reporter: in ireland there's a small book telling lawyers how much to expect to get for someone with an injury. >> it is predicated on the presumption that all that, a lot of them suffered was simple an operation that shouldn't have been performed, but they suffered no injuries afterwards. that they carried on their lives like everybody else, it was just an inconvenience at the time. >> reporter: the most striking thing about these injuries were that they were not done by accident but on purpose, who appeared to open the mothers up so they could have more and more babies, without any regard for
4:22 pm
their health >> i was never the same person as i was. >> reporter: for many like monday could believe the small compensation and the letter from the state advising them to spoil themselves with the proceeds belittles everything that it they have gone through egypt has arrested 14 people accused of killing one of the country's most senior state officials. public prosecutor died in a car bomb in cairo last june. the government says members of the banned muslim brotherhood conspired with hamas to carry out the attack. both parties deny the allegations the newspaper atake over by the government-- taken over by the government and journalists say it is a dark day for media.
4:23 pm
>> reporter: on this street in istanbul the day may have changed, but the headlines stay the same. outrage. the free press can't be silenced they examined. some of them almost seeming to hold newspapers up as shields. >> translation: i came here to support the newspaper which has been unlawfully seized by the government. >> reporter: on friday a turkish court appointed the government to run the newspaper. the take over is considered part of a wider state crackdown on one particular man's movement. critics say it is just the latest in a long line of troubling actions taken against journalists for being critical
4:24 pm
of the government. >> i'm worried. i've become paranoid and it's not even paranoia any more because it's the reality. it makes you sick to your stomach, it gives you headaches. we really feel that the police are watching our every step, and they are. they're listening to us. they shut down our email accounts yesterday and the internet. they're doing everything possible to intimidate us and entirely prevent us from producing the news >> reporter: while police kept protesters away from the headquarters. they had no trouble converging a side street a few metres away. people are refusing to leave even though security officials are telling them repeatedly now that they must go and what they are doing here on the scene is illegal. they are blocking the road and they will be disbursed if they refuse to leave.
4:25 pm
this man angrily confronted police furious not about the threat they faced today, but, rather, the brew at that time demonstrators had faced 24 hours earlier when scenes like this played out. eventually the crowd heeded the warnings and began to leave. while the pitch of their anger hadn't be lessoned the tone of the newspaper they were defending had changed drastically. what a difference a day makes. yesterday had the words "the constitution is suspended", across the front page. today's edition is thinner, the front page has a picture of a smiling president erdogan and it takes a soft sister substance to the a.k.p. the protests-- stance. some president obama has led attribute to the former u.s.
4:26 pm
first lady who has died at the age of 94. his widow had suffered ill health in recent years. our white house correspondent looks back at her life >> reporter: in this moment she symbolized the grief of the nation, bearing her husband after a long battle with alzheimer's. it was the constant them of their long marriage. born in 1921 in new york, nancy are was a nickname. when she was put on the black list as a communist, she turned to ronned reagan for help. they married a few years later. they did one movie together, but then she put her career aside to raise their two children and to help his political career from governor of al-california to u.s. president elected in 1980 >> i think i may have helped a little, maybe. >> reporter: there were often
4:27 pm
questions about how much she helped. this incident reinforced the idea that she was really running the show. >> doing everything we can. >> reporter: she denied having that much control but later admitted she it play a role in her husband's press dan see. >> i was always aware of people who were running and i would step in and say you've got to watch out for him >> reporter: that meant she often clashed with his staff, especially after this when she said she wanted final say over his schedule. she was often controversial, raised in a life of privilege she was often portrayed as an elitist, modelling the white house and replacing the china. the money was donated like many of other gowns, but that didn't
4:28 pm
stop the criticism. she championed pairing the elderly at risk youth and urging kids to say, just say no. it made very little difference to the statistics. out of the white house she did convince that stem cell research could be helped. it was enough to force the president to find a compromise, allowing some research to be done. her life she said really began the day she married her husband. her intense love and devotion to him and his legacy will in many ways define her own there is more to come for you on the news hour. hoping to beat the zika virus before the olympics. international scientists travel to brazil.
4:29 pm
check-ins for checkers. we visit a south korean rehabilitation center for youths addicted to smart phone. also. davis cup disharmony. why two biggest australian tennis stars have fallen out.
4:30 pm
4:31 pm
>> that harmony, that politeness and that equilibrium that japanese people call "wa". at the other side of history, fukushima's heroes were not enough. people have lost their trust,
4:32 pm
especially in the authorities. the myth of nuclear energy, of it being economic, safe and clean has been swept away. >> "fukushima: a nuclear story," narrated by willem dafoe. welcome back. you're watching the news hour. europe's refugee crisis continues as greece's prime minister calls for urgent help for refugees trapped on his country's borders. at least 25 refugees, 10 of them children, have drowned trying to reach greece. another 15 rescued by the turkish coast guard. at least 60 people have died in a suicide attack south of baghdad in iraq. i.s.i.l. says it was behind the attack. more on the u.s. presidential election. we are joined from washington dc
4:33 pm
but the huffington post official. would you say that the votes on super saturday essentially cemented ted cruz's position as the main alternative to donald trump? >> i would say that, yes, because not just the media but the republican establishment too has been reluctant to grant him that poll position because he is so strongly disliked. it is not a political or ideological thing. -- ideological thing. he has zero endorsements from the u.s. senate. more people have endorsed donald trump from the senate at this point. they were hoping marco rubio would make a stronger showing, but he keeps getting anil hat
4:34 pm
annihilated. he is still down 20 points in his home state. it is not looking good for mor marco rubio and john kasich are still not ready to stand aside. what has gone wrong for marco rubio, for him to be polling at that level in his home state of florida. he needs to win florida on march 15. that is going to be crucial to him but why is he suddenly losing momentum like this? >> there are a couple of things that went on. one of them is structural, that marco rubio is a young up and coming first-term senator with really no experience, and the experience that he does have is filled with a lot of baggage.
4:35 pm
he doesn't make a good counterpoint to somebody like obama who was himself a one-term senator, young up and coming talented guy who gave good speeches and who then became president. if he were running in the democratic primary, that type of biography would be fine, but the hatred for the president is so strong in the republican party that any kind of similarity to him is going to put you off. secondly, he is kind of running a national campaign and he forgot about florida. he stopped casting votes in the senate, stopped showing up to the senate over the last couple of years and he hasn't paid attention to florida which people might think that florida is miami, but there's more to florida than just that. the entire state north of miami does not look fondly down on the state. there are a lot of white class workers for a variety of reasons
4:36 pm
some are unpleasant, simply don't like the kind of miami/cuban community that he comes from. that is going to hurt him a lot and why you're seeing donald trump do so well and everywhere in florida except miami what is your assessment of the democrat side at the moment, hillary clinton still a long way off from winning the party's nomination but still in a much better position than bernie sanders? >> obama really set the road map for how you can unseat an establishment candidate in the democratic primary. that basically is to win enough of the white vote, enough of the establishment and then win a tonne of the black vote. that's the only route that bernie sanderss had to the nomination and that's not happening for him. he did extremely well in new hampshire, he did quite well in iowa and then when it came to south clooin, he took an
4:37 pm
shellacking, and the same thing happened to him in georgia and louisiana, he lost a great amount with the black americans. about one in five voters. it becomes almost unthinkable for him to overcome it unless he can close that gap and you're not seeing any evidence of it closing he is still struggling with that demographic. thank you very much. good to get your analysis syrian state media is reporting that 14 people have been killed in an attack in aleppo city. fighters from the al-nusra front and other armed groups were behind the attack. more than 70 mortar shells were launched at the neighborhood y.p.g. it has been a week since the
4:38 pm
cessation of hostilities in syria. >> reporter: this park in the city of aleppo has never been as busy in recent days. it is an atmosphere that these children have missed important a while, fun, calm and hope. they do what children do best. they seem aware of their reality which surrounds them. >> translation: the conditions are good, but sometimes the plane comes and hits. >> translation: i came to play with the swing. it's better now. there are no planes, no water and no electricity. >> reporter: entire families have ventured out, enjoying a breakaway from the fighting and sound of explosions. >> translation: we are having a good time. i hope it lasts like this always. we also hope to get clean water back >> reporter: the sky above aleppo are quiet. there are no war planes or
4:39 pm
helicopters. the level of violence has been reduced not only in aleppo but in many parts of syria. the u.s., russia and the u.n. say the truce is largely holding, but it remains fragile. activists say there have been over 180 violations including air strikes, artill refreshings y, mortar and fighting since the ceasefire started over a week ago. many people are enjoying the good weather and relative peace. it is an opportunity that many people in syria would like it to last. the pause in fighting has given many syrians a chance to take a breath and live a normal life, even if they know it do last for a short period of time billionaire tycoon in iran has been sentenced to death for corruption. he was found guilty of fraudulently pocketing around 2.7 billion dollars. as well as facing the death

penalty he must also repay the money to the state. >> he used iran's economic situation to add to his wealth. he was sentenced to pay the embezzled money and sentenced to death. he can appeal and the ruling is open for appealing. i think he will do that international scientists are visiting brazil to find out more about the zika virus. the recent outbreak is suspected of causing devastating birth defects. the brazilian authorities hope it will be under control before the olympics. >> reporter: going from home to home in north-eastern brazil, doctors from the u.s. center for
4:41 pm
disease control are seeking to establish a link between zika virus and microcephaly. >> translation: this is obviously something very important to know. we want to get the information out as soon as possible in order to be understand this and to create public health activities. >> reporter: it has been ten months since the case of zika was confirmed. medical facilities here struggling to keep. there is still a lack of information, particularly with regard to its consequences. what few doctors there are have taken to use any technology to confer with clinics and patients further afield. >> reporter: there are over 4,000 suspected cases of microcephaly. of that less than 700 have been confirmed and tests are being run to see if there is a connection between those cases of microcephaly and the zika
4:42 pm
virus. with so little known officials are asking everyone to do all they can to prevent being bitten by mosquitos. the government has been commended by the w.h.o. for doing its best to handle a difficult situation. its efforts don't seem to be making their way to the areas most affected. >> translation: we haven't received any extra money for combatting the mosquito, or even treating those children with microcephaly. the work that has so far been done is from the local government. they need toic ma things happen here >> reporter: whether linked to zika or not, there are more babies now in need of special attention. overwhelmed health workers are doing all they can to help the families bangladesh is chris-crossed

4:44 pm
reclaimed by filling it with garbage. these used to be the primary form of transportation for many people in urban and rural bangladesh. aside from high-profile restoration sites meant to draw tourists, most of these routes are gone. this is a problem for much of the population who sill defend on the water ways. he operates a river taxi service for passengers who have little access to roads. they complain waiting for the boat can take longer than their ride to their designation. >> translation: it is very hard to get around these days. i've been waiting for hours. i could have got a lot of things done by now, but what can i do. there are not many rides any more >> reporter: the government is trying to revive the water ways but is constrained by lack of resources. >> translation: we have a big budget set aside for the rivers,
4:45 pm
but you can't dredge the river with cash. we need dredgers. we don't have them. seven were bought in 1972 and no government has purchased any sips then. >> reporter: meanwhile he takes on different types of jobs doing what he can to get by. the lack of action in saving the rivers is letting down not just people like him but also those who still rely on the services he provides still ahead for you, the sport.

4:47 pm
welcome back. the rise of the smart phone has put knowledge at the finger tips of children. it has led to a rise in digital addiction. some children are unable to give up their device for even a few minutes. our correspondent visits a pilot project where teenagers are enturned to read books instead >> reporter: there are not many places where you can cut the invisible ties to the internet. this rural school is one of them. every few weeks a new intake of teenagers arrives. they're encouraged to interact in the real world rather than the virtual one. >> translation: they get to experience the fact that they
4:48 pm
can live without their smart phones. this can give them the ability to exercise self-control. >> reporter: the sessions last up to four weeks and split into boys and girls groups. it is not just about depriving them of their phones but they get one-on-one counselling and classes on their few times. this teenager says he spent 12 hours a day on his phone. now there are times when he still craves it >> translation: when i'm about to sleep i want to use the phone. i want to do it. as we all live together here i can manage without it. it is okay. >> reporter: tensions do boil over. he had to be separated from one class mate. these are often young people with boor communication skills. the withdrawal felt in the first few days can lead to aggression.
4:49 pm
some try to escape. staff say they walk with them until they're tired and then they bring them back. there's no question that this is shock therapy. several weeks without access to internet. the question is how long the effects can last once these kids get back to normal life. for the staff here that depends on the parents. some are dedicated to making changes they say and others seem to see the camp as child camp and promising their child a new smart phone at the end of it. >> translation: our expectation is that they will not never use it again. they need to use them in daily life. we spengt them to use it but with moderation. >> reporter: childhood in south korea is marked by loneliness, intense school pressure, long hours for their partners at
4:50 pm
work. this can teach skills but the conditions that breed addiction will still be there when they get home it is time for your sport with jo. >> thank you very much. one of the n.f.l.'s all time grates will announce on monday that he is walking away from the port from good. peyton manning has played 18 seasons earning a record five epv awards. he won his second super bowl trophy with the team last month at the age of 39. his fearest rival-- fiercest rival posed, congratulations peyton on a great career speaking to the writer, 18 seasons in the n.f.l., where does he rank amongst the grates of the sport?
4:51 pm
>> the second you start talking about all time grates, you're going to have a tonne of not only discussion but a lot of anger when you start talking about if one guy is better than another. the two guys you mentioned, peyton manning and tom brady are up there. if you start to have the discussion and they're not in the mix, you're not doing it right. there are others, but you always have your favorites in different players or different people from different eras and different part of the country will look to one of those guys over the other, when it comes down to it, peyton manning has put himself in the conversation of best of all time because he has assaulted the record book. there is no passing record that he is not there. brady is with him. what qualities do you that he
4:52 pm
possesses >> he changed his own game over the course of his career. he was once a physical specimen. when he came out of tennessee, a young man, he was a great physical athlete with a fantastic arm who could do it all. as his career waned he had to become a completely different player. i've said in the last five to 10 years, it was above his shoulders that made him a quarter back because he mastered a game as a field general more than everyone else. he was a second coach out on the field. others who worked with him didn't have to do much. he called his own plays, he really did the all from under center. there are not a lot of guys in the league today who can do that we talked about brady and manning. they've dominated for the last two decades, but whop are the next generation coming through and will replace brady and
4:53 pm
