with their lives and end all this uncertainty which has been going on in the past four months in ukraine. >> we've got the german foreign minister and the question is what can western diplomats, political leaders, monsters need to help ease the tensions? >> well, i think his visit today is definitely important. it will encourage people that the outside world hasn't forgotten but i'm a bit skeptical about these international monitors because in some ways, the situation is based on its own dynamics. many people here are wondering why this didn't happen earlier. >> you talked about that word polarization. what can you tell us about what the people you have been talking to have been saying? do they see their future in ukraine or in russia? >> well, right now, i'm actually with the ukrainian soldiers on the border. this is a mood.

i mean, where i am is a russian area but they say there are russian speaking ukrainians, that this language issue have been blown out of proportion. it's not really a problem. whoever wants to speak russian can. at the same time, there's a small and vocal minority that is pushing for closer association, if not an attachment towards russia. >> ok. thank you very much for keeping us up to date there from eastern ukraine. now, as the search continues for malaysian airlines flight 370, chinese authorities say they have picked up satellite images of what could possibly be debris from the missing boeing 747. the objects were reported to be floating in what is the southern search area. a remote area of the southern indian ocean about 120 kilometers from an earlier sighting of debris announced by

objects may have already moved. the chinese satellite imagery could now provide new clues. it's information these people have been desperately waited for. relatives of the missing have been held up for two weeks. they frequently express their anger and frustration at the malaysian authorities. >> we don't even know if our family members are alive or dead. we should never let them treat us like this. >> many have already given up hope for a sign of life. what they want is for the aircraft to be found, quickly so, they will finally have certainty. >> well, let's go to roger in australia who's been following the search efforts for us. roger, another sighting of debris coming from the chinese, another possible lead. what can you tell us? >> well, certainly we're still getting full details of this chinese satellite. but the signs are it could represent a dramatic new development in the search for

malaysian airlines flight 370. the debris appears to be about 120 kilometers from the point where the earlier wreckage were found. that's quite interesting because it's feasible because the first items could have drifted that distance in the past week or so. but i emphasize it's still early that this is wreak challenge from the plane but the announcement giving a big boost to the search operation which has been going on over the past three days. >> and roger, more and more resources are being focused on that remote area that you just mentioned. this is a huge coordination challenge for the australian authorities. >> yes. it's a major logistic operation for the australians and it's getting bigger by the day. six planes have been scouring the area about two and a half thousand kilometers off perth today. once again, unfortunately, they have returned to base empty handed but more planes and more ships are headed that way.

perfect time for us to take on them to measure ourselves against the best of the best. we're ready and willing to accept this challenge. >> and challenges don't come any more daunting than them. the coach is seen as an innovator, one of germany's best. his squad was tenacious in their first matchup last fall in munich leading 1-0 at the half. they came back to score four after the break. cheers and applause] >> everyone knows they're the best. his leadership style, the way he influences his players and the values he instills of his years at barcelona. >> he has faced them four times with varying degrees of success. he says a win this time around would be nothing sort of

the brit powered home winning the next two 6-0, 6-1. more news, more sports at the top of the hour. don't go away. >> we're just a few kilometers away from the crisis region in nigeria where the government has declared a state of emergency. we have to film secretly at countless checkpoints. the police and army are on edge. for years, the islamist militant group has been terrorizing the people here. last month alone, more than 500 ere killed in attacks.

the village outside of the region where he waged his ampaign of violence. more than 100 premium have sought refuge here, men, women, and children. one of the refugees tells the people are terrorized all the time back home because of continued attacks. there's no peace, he says. and nobody knows when the terror will reach you. when you leave the house in the morning, you don't know what will become of you and when you come home in the evening, you can't sleep. everyone is scared. that is why we left our village. a family here has taken in more than 40 refugees. many of them are from near the

town where he stormed a school in late february and murdered 43 students in their dormitory. he claims western education is sinful and it's therefore, right to skill students. -- kill students. this woman gave birth to her son a few days before the attack. now, she doesn't know that two do or where to go. she says she doesn't care where she lives, as long as her son can grow up in peace. the people have welcomed the newcomers and offered them help. but it's clear that the refugees need concerted organized aid. the ville jers have barely enough to get by. since the government in nigeria is barely functional, nobody expect any assistance.

so we were surprised to find a eam interviewing refugees. >> we came to assess the celebration and then go back and to report to bring lead materials for this. >> people tell us the agency only sprang into action because we are here. we had the capital of the state to talk to staff at the national emergency management agency, which is only in the coordinate aids from the refugees from the criteria region -- crisis region. first, impressions are not reassuring. although we're told the warehouses well stocked with aid supplies, we were not allowed to see for ourselves.

>> his attention was called and we expect him within this weekend. >> he's the only one? >> he's the only one holding the key. the security forces appear to be overwhelmed by the islamist insurgency. the chief of police says he doesn't want us to film him because he fears reprisals. nobody from the army will talk to us either. the next day, a contact gives us some shocking video material. he says he received it directly from a member of boko haram. ♪ the footage depicts scenes of extreme violence. the islamists are known to attack christians but they also attack fellow muslim who is make up the majority of the region. the militants burned down entire villages. they murder men, women and

children. the leader of boko haram is also in the video. in long rambling speeches, he talks about enforcing islamic traditions and rails against his enemies. he says democrats have turned away are the true god. their hearts are sick. may god make their hearts even sicker, he says. they will suffer pain because they are liers. one of its stated aims was to fight for the interests of people of northern nigeria, ill served by the government in 2009, there were clashes between security forces and boko haram. the leader was killed while in police custody. from then on, the group became increasingly violent. now, it's not entirely clear what it's fighting for. what is clear is that it's become a powerful fighting force. some experts say it's better

equipped than the nigerian army. it is estimated they have killed several thousand people. reports say police officers and soldiers are frightened and run away rather than protect the civilian population. they have reason to be scared. there are plenty of videos of boko haram parading captured sandoges then decapitating them. -- soldiers and then decapitating them. in the morning, we head west to meet a "journal" -- juvenile who is doing research of the -- you're this is who is doing research of the group. -- journalist who is doing research on the group.

>> you got everybody in nigeria, students are graduating in thousands of numbers. and after they graduated, there's no place, no employment for them. hey have no place to go. maybe they can carry them along and engage whatever it is that comes their way. >> many recruits are thought to be found at islamic schools where boys study the koran. the students beg on the streets when they're not learning texts. there are ten's of thousands of students alone. most are the children of poor farmers, sent to town to receive religious education. observers say these uprooted and

vulnerable boys are an easy target for boko haram recruiters. this boy is one of them. he goes from house to house, singing verses from the koran. today, he's lucky. omebody gives him some food. i usually do get enough to eat, he says, though sometimes it's hard. he takes us to his school. there are no modern teaching methods here. if a boy doesn't sing a verse loud enough, he's whacked with a ane.

♪ but poverty and piety don't necessarily engender violence, let alone terrorism. some of the leaders even attended expensive western schools. the teachers here deny any sinister intentions. he says they teach peace here. he calls on all islamic scholars to do the same because they teach peace and not violence the last stop our visit to nigeria is the capital. the contrast to the impoverish north is astounding. the political elites have made itself comfortable here. we want to interview government officials. we call the interior decomment and information ministries, but obody will talk to us.

this man runs the nigerian office. we meet them at a building that used to house a newspaper this day. it was destroyed in a bomb attack by boko haram in 2012 in one of its few incursions into the city. >> she tells us that the situation has been bad for the past two years. it's been deteriorating and it will probably continue to do so. this is not true if the government is unwilling or unable to address the issues but she suspects it's more the ladder. for years, the political elite has managed to avoid dealing with nigeria's massive problems. our impression is that ordinary people feel abandoned by their government and by the

international community. all the players have so far failed to solve the problem unless that changes, the urgency and the violence @ ññññxúça
