12:03 am
pulled out of the rubble, but the recovery is slow. powerful after shocks continue to bring down buildings. as bbc reporter was caught in the middle of one of the aftershocks. >> as you can see everyone is running through the streets. it is actually quite hard to balance. looking up at the buildings. worried that the buildings will fall again. of course it is not actually the earthquakes that kill, it's the falling buildings. >> worried that more buildings will fall, residents are sleeping outdoors. many iconic buildings and temples have been destroyed in the quake. some centuries old. the quake also triggers a huge avalanche on mt. everest, with a direct hit on the base camp which has 18,000 feet above sea level.

12:06 am
there are concerns about how bad the situation is in the more rural parts of nepal. just outside of kathmandu. are you getting a sense speaking with aid agencies or residents what is happening in the rural parts of the country? >> it is difficult. those answers haven't come in yet. in terms of how many people are unaccounted for, or people injured or perhaps have died in the aftermath of the earthquake. because of difficulties xhin kaxhin -- difficulties in communication. rescue teams from all over the world. germany, china, i came in with the israeli search-and-rescue team. where are people in need? and how great is that need? unfortunately right now, at kathmandu airport. i don't have the answer yet. >> orin lieberman, on the phone, at kathmandu international airport. detailing what seems like chaos. things are moving in. aid is getting into the country. people are able to get out.

protes protests, businesses were also looted by some. also damaged. including this cvs pharmacy. >> i understand anger. but what we are seeing isn't anger, it's destruction of a community, the same community they, they say they care about they're destroying. you can't have it both ways. >> i'm not going to be as nice as everyone else. i am simply pissed off. this its the city i love. the city i chose to dedicate my life to. we cannot stand idle and let thugs, not going to say thugs, cowards run our city the what i am going to say here today. if you are an adult and you are out there participating in this, you are ruining the future for these young people. >> for more on what is happening on the ground in baltimore, we

12:11 am
certainly a community looking at what happened. just asking why. for a very long time to come. errol. >> we know that for, for younger students, school classes in some areas, canceled for tomorrow. there is what exists, a 9:00 .m., now a 10:00 p.m. curfew for tomorrow and rest of the week. what can residents expect tomorrow when they wake up. what will happen to baltimore tomorrow. surely officials have the resources and now want to prevent any of this from repeating itself. officials feel they do have what they need now. in ferterms of what to expect. it is anyone's guess. lead herbs have come out. asking for. calling for police.
12:12 am
we heard the calls for peace. over the past few days. and, for some members of the community. in terms of what happened tonight. it would be only, a certain number of people are hoping that, that the worst is behind the city. >> jason carol on the line with us from the streets of baltimore, maryland, as things aper to calm down after what has been a -- an evening filled with looting and violence. the relatives of the victim. freddy gray says this is not what they agree with. it goes against their message. in fact, new video to show you. what appears to be an angry and embarrass mother taking out her frustration on her teenage son after discovering he was one of the troublemakers there in city. take a look. have to bleep some of it out. you hear the woman shoud,t, i kw

12:18 am
spinal cord injury some how in police custody. want to get you more information on our breaking news out of nepal. rescue and aid workers are struggling with the sheer scope of the devastation. thousand of injured people pour into hospitals. the death toll from saturday's quake has surged past 4,300. nepal's information minister says the number will go up. but couldn't dsay by how much. now a new look at the moment the quake struck. it seems, seems to have explosive power. this cell phone video from tibet. shows, as you see the ground shaking. landslide. people screaming. running for cover. tibet reports 25 deaths as a result of the earthquake.
12:19 am
now, our anwar damon is near kathmandu. and gives us a closer look after the earthquake devastated the area. >> reporter: the woman sitting right there was describing to us the moment that the earthquake struck. this is all that's left of the home that she and her husband worked their entire lives to build. when the earthquake hit she ran out onto the balcony here. and then, another tremor brought down this portion of the house. she did manage to claw herself out from underneath the rubble and crawl up the embankment. this part of the building, the roof here, collapsing entirely, trapping myrher daughter-in-lawo also eventually managed to get out. but this is just one example of what has happened in a village that is not even that far away
12:20 am
from kathmandu. this is an area that is actually accessib accessible. what's of great concern what sort of similar or even worse scenes than what we are seeing here have played out in those even more remote and far-flung areas. back to you. >> now because of what you just saw, many nations are rallying to help nepal with financial donations, relief supplies and assistance with rescue operations. here is a bit of breakdown. the european union and 15 countries, contributing cash. the u.s. $10 million, uk, $4.5. canada, $4 million. countries sending search-and-rescue teams. india sending ten helicopters. search for survivors. south korea sending a specialist team that worked in haiti. a look at charities, nongovernmental organizations that are helping out. a full list of them is at cnn.com/impact. >> now getting aid into nepal is a daunting challenge.
12:21 am
chaotic scenes like this one. kathmandu's airport. not helping. officials are dealing with large numbers of people trying to get out of the country. this as relief supplies come in. earlier one u.n. official spk-- spoke to cnn about the difficulties there. the difficulty is that nepal is a mountainous country. getting to the outlying areas remains very, very difficult. there is a need for helicopters to get there. there is only one runway at the airport you. can imagine trying to have commercial traffic and aid flights coming in. is putting a huge pressure on already limited resources. and this is the difficulty. >> the u.n. says the earthquake has impacted 8 million people across nepal. and more than 1 million are in desperate need of food. the managing director of
12:22 am
c.g.corp global, set up relief camps, he joins us live via web-cam. tell us how aid distribution is going. and where the bottlenecks are if any? >> thank you. it has been a very devastating last couple days in nepal. a lot of relief packages, countries like india, china, germany, everyone is coming in. trying to focus, in kathmandu. our company because we are a company, we are trying to distribute to hospitals, relief center. five relief centers, shelter, food, water, juice, medical teams on stand by. but the difficulty is -- you know most of the, the area affected outside of kathmandu. so the team is yet to go there and start mobilizing. and providing food. and the basic necessities outside of kathmandu. the biggest challenge, right now. although other countries have sent helicopters and rescue flights to even to everest and other regions for, for rescuing
12:23 am
the people. but most of the areas that has been mostly affected are yet, people are yet to go there and, and start providing basic necessities. i mean, our companies, also, the private sector. the youth in our country are forming small groups and going on their own across nepal and doing what they can. lot of international volunteers doing their best to help in our relief center and well. because we had telecom for communications all across this -- areas. >> let me ask you about that. because considering it is in the rural areas that we don't have a complete picture of how bad things are. the glimpse, the glimmers that we have had are not encouraging, one aid agency saying 80% of one village was wiped out. these are areas with homes that are built with very humble, things like mud and wood. these cannot with stand earthquakes. what about the electrical and
12:24 am
commune kags n communication networks? functioning yet. before the quake this was a problem. in nepal. because we, were just, just coming in through monsoon period. we did start getting a little electricity. the transmission lines are affected. and the remote areas where, the earthquake devastation hit, you know these are the areas where electricity was not there in the first place. even in transmission lines, or telecom towers. they only have some amenount of backup power. they managed to get the communication tourp a communication tower up and running. the communication is getting back to normal. the communication is in areas, the city and countries, improving slowly. so people are able to run
12:25 am
generators. these remote villages. >> it is encouraging to hear that things are, at least, the desire to help, the aid, it is all coming in. this is something that i wonder as we speak to those of you who are there and doing everything you can to help. how are you doing? how are you holding up at a time when there is so much suffering around you and the next week does not look like an easy one? >> i mean it is not only a week. i think for us the next couple years, have to rebuild nepal. it is obviously, devastating, heartbreaking to see people in our country just, just, just lie down in the middle of the roads in onnen fields across the country -- open fields across the country because they're in massive psychological trouble going on in their head. seeing them. only an extent where private companies like us, individuals can go out and help. the basic prok lep lies in the people in the areas. that's where the need, people need to go right away. that's where the major bottleneck has been to. me, personally, my family is
12:26 am
safe. but people around me, my office towers all have been crumbled. we have not last heart. our spirit is still up. our attitude of getting back on the ground is still there. we are getting tremendous support from regional countries. air lot of volunteers over here coming to us. saying we want to help. getting call from various people around the world. saying the next flight in. we are getting, water, tents, mats, necessity. team ein from japan. everyone is doing their bit. the idea is to get everyone out of kathmandu into remote areas which will be the challenge. i think we are making progress. the government is playing a role. they're trying their best. and national agencies are playing the rest. and news agencies are. things are slowly coming up. flights are moving out. evacuation forces are happening right now. but you not with that kind of,
12:27 am
the richter scale, i mean aftershocks are coming in again and again. people deon't have the confidene to go back into any area. so people are weary, haven't slept. >> it is understandable. what people are dealing with. the trauma. and the daily experience of getting the basic need. and, showing us a bit of that nepalese spirit. people trying to help and do what they can to bring this country back on its, on its feme feet, managing corp, global. and thank you for your insights and best of luck to you with your efforts. now, while the people of nepal struggle to recover from the devastating earthquake, they also have to deal with the process of burying their loved ones. coming up -- how they're coping after the break. >> plus, we'll have the latest from baltimore mare, maryland as
12:28 am
12:31 am
welcome back in baltimore, maryland. a community in crisis. violent appropriate tests and rioting have forced the government nor to declare a state of emergency. the city's public schools are closed to days. and the may your's ordered a city wide curfew overnight for a week. this all follows monday's funeral for freddie gray, a young african-american man who died one week after being arrested by police. throughout the night we have seen rioters in the street, looting buildings, and setting
12:32 am
cars on fire. at least 15 police officers are injured. and more than two dozen people have been arrested during those riots. >> people in baltimore though are denouncing what they have seen. they're angry that the once peaceful protests turned so violent. >> a peaceful six days until the last day, saturday night, had a nice funeral for freddie gray. this is not what freddie gray is about. this is something completely totally chaos. >> this could have been their city. the death of killing black men in this country is going to go through this. it could have been their city. this is a reactionary situation. people are doing things. stealing right now. you can only put so much into a pressure cooker before it pop. >> now the fire broke out at a construction site in east baltimore where a senior center was being built. it is still unclear whether this fire is connected or is related to the riots. still the pastor who owns the facility says he is saddened by
12:33 am
the violence. >> i haven't lost my focus. i haven't lost my sense of resiliency. i haven't lost my hope. i have been a little heartbroken. my eyes have been filled with tears. because someone didn't understand that we existed in the community to help the revitalize it. now we are calling on resources to come back. to see this as an opportunity to revive east baltimore and the city of baltimore. >> now, chris cuomo is in baltimore, and was in the middle of the described what was happening around him. >> the people down the street to the left of where we are right now that are throwing bottles and different types of objects. to try to hurt the cops. they're not firing bullets back. they're firing suppression bullets. pepper spray. clouds are a mixture. the arsenal. and the pepper spray out of the bullets. there are bottles over the top.
12:34 am
couple hundred people across the street from us. we are seeing a couple of people taking off here. some of the guys got into the cars and took off. other people are just by standing, that liquor store is on fire. a firetruck with us on the way here now. obviously the deal with the two vehicles that are on fire. what they have done here. they maneuvered the officers outen front to. create a barrier. moving the firetruck behind. and to the right. so they can seat firetruck. down here to deem with the two vehicles that are on fire. that's just -- the liquor store on fire. somebody literally went in there and torched it obviously. a baby coming out from the building next door. they're evacuating people. a mother worried about her kid. seems to be okay.
12:35 am
the officer is taking the child. seems to be with the other parent. now going back in to get other people. >> early glimpse there of just how confusing things were in some places of baltimore. fr fr fr freddie gray's family is condemning the violence. gray died from a spinal cord injury one week after being arrested. and the circumstances of his injury are under investigation. and are the cause of so much of the anger we have seen. his mother spoke out. >> i am hurt. i do not want you all to be out here. i don't want you to get justice for my son. don't do it like this here. don't kill the whole city just for him. it's wrong. >> freddie gray's mother. appealing to violent protestors. for days, peaceful protesters have taken to the street.
