you're watching "world one". violent he can lates in yemen after cease-fire break down between security forces and tribal fighters. uncertain future. japan's prime minister survives a no-confidence vote but he's weakened by rebellion in his party. and the u.s. state of massachusetts is reeling after a series of tornadoes, leaving behind a trail of destruction. we want to start in yemen where there are growing fears deadly street battles are dragging the country to the brink of civil war. the capital has been a flash point for revolt. people who live there say they heard explosions all night long. they describe the fighting as worse than anything before and it's spreading. state tvs says an army general has been killed in the latest clashes. here is the man in the center of the crisis, yemen's long-time

president saleh. for five months protesters have been calling him to step down. at one point he promised to go but he's still clinging on and this is the result. a country gripped by violent between those who want him in power and those who want him out. >> the unrest isn't only being seen in sanaa, fighting has also taken hold in a zinzabar. >> we continue to watch the wags situation and we are where we've been for weeks in -- doing everything we can along with the international community to convince president saleh to step down from power. if it wasn't obvious before, it should be now, that his presence remains a source of great conflict. >> let's get the latest from

cnn. cnn isn't allowed inside yemen right now so we'll be joined from abu dhabi. is civil war in yemen inevitable? >> more and more of the eyewitnesss and residents in sanaa eye been speaking with and also government officials there believe yemen is really now on the brink of all out civil war. let me give you the most recent worrying development. in the past hour we've spoken to more residents in sanaa report more than 1,000 armed tribesmen that have entered sanaa late last night, early this morning. when asked why they were coming into the city they said they were there to support the leader of the hasha tribe, the most powerful tribe in yemen, the tribe engaged if street battles with president saleh's forces. more worries that more tribesmen are coming into a capital beset

with so much chaos and fighting the last week. also i spoke to a government official early this morning and he's wondering why there's no more international mediation going on. even though president saleh has refused to sign a transfer of power deal in the past few months, government officials want the international community to step up. they're afraid if someone doesn't apply more pressure from the outside this fighting can continue for weeks or months on end. a lot of concern being expressed as to what's going on. the residents there, first you were hearing a lot of fear as to what's going on in sanaa. in the past several hours i'm hearing the mood is shifting to one of anger and they're upset. not just with the president but the family that controls the hasha tribe, fighting the government forces in the capital. they're very, very angry that this is going on. they want their city restored. they want peace in their neighborhoods. they're tired of hearing shelling and bullets ring out and they're worried for their

safety and family's safety. zain? >> mohammed, it's difficult to know exact numbers, particularly as cnn isn't allowed inside yemen. what are your sources telling you about the latest death toll in yemen? >> there's been a lot of conflicting reports. we talked to medics, to eyewitnesss, to government officials. as far as sanaa we're hearing numbers as high as 40. now, tribesmen there are saying at least 20 of their tribesmen have been killed in fighting in the past couple of days. government forces are saying at least 15 soldiers and one army general have been killed. what we don't know is the correct number of civilians killed. it's very hard to get a handle on that number. everybody i speak with there is concerned this casualty figure is really going to go up once it calms down enough so an assessment can be made and real casualty figures can be counted. in taiz where there are government clashes, the u.n. put out a number in the last couple

of days saying as many as 50 were killed by government forces in the past few days while they were peacefully protesting. there's been a lot of international condemnation at yemen's president because there's a fear the people that are out there trying to protest peacefully and demand the ouster of the president are being fired upon and getting killed. the yemen government of course denies these allegations. >> thanks, mohammed. a lot being said in the papers about this story. in britain the herald has a headline, yemeni capital rocked by series of explosions saying analysts are worried instability in yemen could embolden a local al qaeda wing that has attempted attacks on the united states and saudi arabia. gulf news has this headline, ending the yemen blood shed saying the way forward does not look like being an interim government based on a popular movement but more of a transfer to tribal or military leaders and even that is looking less likely as civil war looms.

the guardian has this headline -- dozens killed in the street by street battle for sanaa and the article talks about the worsening situation there. yemen is on the brink of financial ruin with about a third of its 23 million people facing chronic hunger. it is running out of oil and water. one issue many you can read, all those articles in full at facebook.com. we turn to europe where worries are growing over exactly what is safe to eat after russia said it was banning fresh vegetables from the eu to keep out a deadly e. coli infection. it's killed 15 people in germany and one in sweden, according to local media reports. german scientists said at first they thought it came from cucumbers shipped in from spain. now they admit, that was a mistake, but haven't pinned down the real source of this bacteria. russian officials have ordered stores to take eu vegetables off the shelves.

according to reuters news agency, the eu has attached the import ban calling it disproportionate. we're joining by matthew chance in moscow and we understand the consumer protection agency, the head of the consumer protection agency in russia is actually attacking the eu health standards when it comes -- they're saying these health standards russia has been asked to follow and now they're saying that's not even good enough. >> reporter: certainly russia often gets compared to the you' european union. the chief consumer affairs doctor here in russia has issued that attack against the european health certificates and standards in the european union. he said that this incident with the e. coli infections shows that europe's lauded health regulation, one russia is urged

to adopt, does not work. you know, it's not just politics, of course. there is a genuine concern in russia about this outbreak of e. coli and they made it clear because the outbreak has been going on for more than a month and because the source has not been located in the european union, that the decision has been taken to not just ban the import of all fresh vegetables from eu countries to russia but also to seize any vegetables that have been imported from the european union into russia so far. >> matthew, how much of goods -- i guess, fresh vegetables from the eu is actually consumed by russian or imported by russia? >> reporter: well, quite a lot, particularly in the european part of russia. though, i have to say countrywide, russia gets the majority of fresh vegetables from countries like china, from countries like turkey as well. it's much more significant, though, in terms of what the european do because some 25% of all the fresh produce exported

from the european union goes to the russian markets. so, it's a major economic blow for european farmers who depend very much for at least a quarter of their exports on russia where their fruit and vegetables are now banned. >> matthew chance, thank you, reporting from moscow. you're watching "world one" live from london. coming up, a string of deadly tornadoes strike the u.s. state of massachusetts. we're going to bring you the very latest on the rescue operation.

kan, he will be the longest out of the five. it's a revolving door japan is seeing and a lot of political high drama we witnessed today as a prime minister tries to cling to his job, this no-confidence vote would, as you mentioned, either force him to step down in ten days or call a snap election, dissolve parliament, that's a very risky political move for his entire political party. had this passed, he more than likely would have stepped down. but with the measure failing almost two to one. the prime minister managed to somehow get his political party behind him. but all of this political drama and all of this happening again is being viewed in other parts of japan, specifically the tsunami region, with a large measure of dig gust. there have 100,000 people still living on blankets, still no infrastructure, still no jobs, roads broken, rubble everywhere and those victims say they see

what's happening in tokyo as a political circus when there's so much work to be done. here's what one woman told us. >> translator: this is not the time to do this. this should be the time people are united for japan's recovery. >> reporter: and that is a sentiment being shared not just up in the tsunami region but if you talk to many in the streets of tokyo they either don't care who the prime minister is because they can't remember their names anyway or they just simply feel that government is so far away from main street here. >> you see, it's really interesting because you're saying naoto kan would be the longest serving prime minister out of five in five years and he would be celebrating his one-year anniversary as prime minister next week. so, that would be the longest serving prime minister. now, people would then question the whole japanese political system and goth system as a whole. on the one hand they could say this is good. if you don't like what the government is doing, you can call a no-confidence vote and say, out with the head.

but then those who say, that certainly doesn't bring any sense of stability to the country. >> reporter: and certainly no source of cohesive economic policy. there is a lot of criticism about what is wrong with this system of japan's parliament, but as you say, it is easier to try to remove somebody if perhaps they're not doing a great job. unfortunately, what it's meant for japan over the last 20, 25 years has been a policy void. this country has some severe economic problems that have -- that are not going away in part because of that revolving door you're talking about. >> begs the question, i guess, kyung in terms of who would actually want that job. thank you so much. you're watching "world one" live from london. calling time on a brilliant ka occurer. >> how shaquille o'neill with his big announcement. >> the nhl championship series is just getting under way.

japan's prime minister has survived a no-confidence vote in parliament. naoto kan has been criticized for his government's response to the march tsunami and the nuclear crisis that followed. but the opposition motion to unseat mr. kan was defeated by 293 votes to 152. had the motion passed, he would have had to step down within ten days. google's had its share of problems in china but the latest spot of trouble may have implications beyond the search engine company. just a day after the u.s. government said cyber attacks could be considered an act of war, google announced that hundreds of gmail accounts, many belonging to high-level u.s. government officials, had been attacked by hackers in china. we're joined with more. atika, how did they do it? >> basically this was something called phishing which you've probably heard about. it's a way to lure people in and get their e-mail passwords.

what happened in this particular case was that an e-mail was sent to various accounts that asked them to open up a link. when they got to that link, there was a little pop-up that said, please enter your google e-mail user name and password. because it seemed legitimate, the users entered those passwords. with that the hackers were then able to monitor those e-mails and basically forward them on and see what was inside of this google mail account. so, the purpose seems to have been to sort of basically spy on these various e-mail accounts. now, google says this was clearly a phishing attack. it was not an attack on their own servers or their own systems. this was down through this phishing campaign. google says it was traced to jinan in china. chinese government put out a statement saying they were victims, too, saying china we

firmly oppose computer hacking or any illegal activity and will severely punish anyone engaging in such activity according to law. computer hacking is an international problem and china is also a victim. now, the u.s. government has said they are looking into the problem. they have no evidence of their accounts being hacked so far, but they are cooperating with google, they said. >> what about people who have gmail accounts, what are they supposed to do? any advice? >> as a general rule, be careful about any links that you open, especially if you don't know the source of where that e-mail comes from. in this particular case, however, it does seem to have been very targeted toward u.s. government officials, chinese activists. the e-mails that came in were very good copies that essentially looked very real, like they had come from an authentic source. goes to show, you can never be

too careful when someone sends you a link. >> atika, thank you. the former bosnian serb ratko mladic was arrested after 16 years on the run, charged with the killing of about 8,000 muslim men and boys in 1995. europe's worst massacre since world war ii. doctors at the hague say mladic has been cooperative and is fit to stand trial. judges are considering joining his case to the trial of the former bosnian serb whose trial has been under way for 18 months. we want to bring in someone with experience with trials this this kind. senior barrister and led the trial. how significant would it be if

they joined the two trials? >> it would make it longer. maybe mladic would are to deal with the evidence already given. he would certainly need time to prepare so the eventual determination of trial could be delayed, possibly substantially. >> would it undermine his role or lessen the impact -- it if he has his own trial, would it lessen the impact? >> i don't think so. i think probably having two defendants charged with the associated offenses is more likely to give the public a fuller narrative of both. sometimes appearing on your own enables you as a defendant, this is a general observation, to prevent lopsided and favorable view of your own involvement. in this case, one of the first oaks made by mladic, according to the guardian online, is that mladic alone was to blame and nobody else. but mladic isn't there to answer

that allegation. >> there are a lot of people questioning, and i think one of the concerns and i understand the icty had said -- had answered this. there have been concerns he would not get a fair trial. this is one of the big things they're saying. of course, this is a huge case in terms of trying to, perhaps, restore, if it was indeed damaged, the reputation and credibility of this tribunal. >> yes, i think the reputation of the tribunal hasn't been as high as it might have been and like all of these internationally created tribunals they are set up with a political purpose and can sometimes be seen as serving that purpose and that may be one of the reasons that tribunal hasn't been seen as favorably. there's absolutely no reason these men shouldn't -- or this man shouldn't have a fair trial providing prosecutors don't bend in any way to political pressure or to publicity-seeking pressure

which sometimes operates. >> could that actually happen? >> certainly it happens in all these trials. you have to appear alive to it. in a case like this, of course, although the gravity of the charges, there is time, perhaps, now -- there is time, perhaps, now, for the role of the west more generally in the unfolding events to be exposed. now, that's an exposure that might not be entirely welcome -- >> this opens a whole can of worms, doesn't it? >> a whole can of worms. a lot is available publicly but never focused because the center of these allegations is, of course, their terrible conduct allegationed against mladic. it's not just the dutch who overall might have been found to have some influence on these events. in a trial like this, maybe the last big trial conducted in

connection with the srebrenica, you have a fairly reliable narrative, there is no truth, to be given of these events. if that happens as a result of this trial by the prosecution in particular never yielding to any form of domestic or external, whatever you like, international pressure, then i think the reputation of the tribunal will go up and the trial will serve a good purpose. >> begins tomorrow. thank you for your time. this is "world one" live from london. she was looking for a better life but, instead, found her darkest days. >> if i knew this is how my life was going to be, i would never come. i never would have let her take me. >> we take you to the u.s. to meet the victims of modern day slavery. announcer ] in and out. out and in. now you can apply sunblock to your kids' wet skin. new neutrogena® wet skin kids with helioplex. the first sunblock designed to be applied directly to wet skin. ordinary sunblock drips and whitens.

me and they took everything. they took everything away from me. >> reporter: the girls were forced to work in hair braiding salons, serving customers all day, right out in the open. their captors took all the money the girls earned, every penny. how many days a week were you working? >> seven days a week. >> reporter: how many hours a day? >> sometimes 14 hours. >> reporter: this went on for five to six years. traffickers held the girls in several houses in newark in east orange. the traffickers no longer live there. this is the neighborhood where these girls were being held. just look at it. manicured lawns, nice houses. looks like any neighborhood in america and definitely doesn't look like a place where you'd expect to find slavery. who would commit such a crime? these are the traffickers. the wife was the ring leader. the husband and the son were

accomplices, according to court documents and law enforcement. why did they do it? money. pure and simple. they made about $4 million off the girls. paul fishman is the u.s. attorney for new jersey. his office prosecuted the case resulting in convictions. >> i think it's hard for some people to believe in the year 2010 we have people who will actually put people in slavery. it's the most fundamental and intolerable violation of human rights. >> reporter: a newark court recently sentenced the wife to 27 years in prison. the father got 24 years and the son, 4 1/2 years. >> all the promises she promised me, and then when i got here all my life was messed up. i was saying, if i knew this is how my life was going to be, i would have never come.

>> reporter: after months of surveillance, i.c.e. agents raided the houses. inside they found the girls, mattresses on the floor and filthy conditions. the traffickers had hidden bags of cash and the girls' passports. something else the agents found, a notebook the girls used to track the tips they received at the hair salon. ironically, on the cover of that notebook, a picture of the statue of liberty. after so much pain, the girls, now young women, were free. >> it was a good day because, you know, it helped my life. i'm so happy that i was from the jail. >> all i did was cry. it was -- it was overwhelming. i told myself, she finally -- you know, she finally got what

compensation because the spanish farmers, export industry, has lost 280 -- or $290 million already, about 150,000 tons of fresh vegetables, not just cucumbers but the scare has extended across the board, tomatoes, lettuce, whatnot, have not been sold in recent days because of this scare. zain? >> so, people are just being told not to buy them, period? are people even going out to eat in restaurants? >> well, people are going out to eat in restaurants. and spain is not denying its vegetables to their plates as much as some in northern europe but i just got off the phone with the export producers association, they say despite the removal of the cucumbers from the watch list and despite now these words out of germany that spain is not to blame, that the movement of the product has not started to go up. there's been anecdotal evidence in the spanish press, a few producers got orders for

watermelon to go up to northern europe but basically the producers association nationwide is saying the valve is still shut off and so there is conc n concern, the word has not reached down to consumers, especially in northern europe and possibly to some in spain, that the cucumbers and other vegetables are safe. meanwhile, germany with a very serious problem, 16 dead, hundreds are ill, is still trying to find what the source of this e. coli outbreak is. zain? >> cnn's al goodman. thanks. of course, we will continue to keep our eye on that story throughout the day here on cnn. also on our watch, other stories, fierce fighting in the yemeni capital sanaa between pro and antigovernment forces. local police say loud explosions went on all night and they report seeing around 1,000 armed men entering sanaa thursday morning, claiming to be supporters of a powerful opposition tribal leader. google says several users were tricked into giving hackers their passwords on wednesday. it says chinese hackers targeted
