. >> unesco's representative in nepal joins us from kathmandu. we appreciate your time. can you tell me what you know so far about what sites have been damaged? >> yes, good evening. i could see this afternoon on the area in kathmandu where four main temples have been destroyed. i have news from our counterparts that also kathmandu kathmandu, are destroyed. what is amazing is that not so many houses actually are destroyed but the temples we're expecting a lot of contrary to that. >> can you put in perspective for us all of the things that these sites, that's temples had made it through until this awful earthquake happened today? >> could you repeat your question? because the lines are bad sorry. >> absolutely. i said, could you put in some perspective some of the things that these temples have survived only to crumble today? >> yes, most of these temples have already fallen down in the 1934 earthquake, and have been we rebuilt or rehabilitated. and some have been renovated. so it's rather surprising that so many temples collapsed. >> can you tell me the emotional impact

it was to be placed on unesco's heritage sites. if you look at the i ammance before the destruction, if's incredibly sad what's gone on there. >>> in his homily, pope francis called it the first genocide of the 20th century. now is incredibly significant. because calling the slaughter by the ottomans a genocide has always been a point of contention. the pope's comments will likely upset turkey which has always denied a genocide took place, arguing that thousands of armenian christians and turks died in civil war, and that occurred around world war i. now the mass comes 12 days ahead of armenia's official remembrance day of april 24. this was one of those commemorations. a million and a half were killed between 1915 and 1918. >>> now after months, yes, even years of speculation, that's how long we've been talking about this. today hillary clinton is expected to announce her bid for the 2016 presidential race. now a source says clinton will announce her campaign in a video on social media at the summit of the americas in panama. pres

one of unesco's seven heritage sites, four buildings dating back to the 14th and 15th century has been seriously damaged but for now the priority is life, what's left of it. not nepal's rich and valuable history. these women say they've given up any hope of finding their relatives. they're among more than 50 people who have lived at the end of this street. no one here wants to live in a building until they're convinced it's safe. the constant fog of funeral pyre smoke hangs over them. as if a reminder could ever be needed how the earth shook and consumed so many people's lives. andrew simmons, al jazeera america, nepal. >> joint based charleston, south carolina, the plane is carrying supplies along with 59 los angeles firefighters and five search dogs. officials from the pentagon say the plane is expected to arrive tomorrow in nepal. 75% of the country is covered by mountains and that makes it extremely difficult for rescue and relief to find survivors. joining us from washington d.c lynn i'm sure you have seen these pictures, look at the faces of the nepalese, to hear that man his lif

unesco says it is sending a team to assess the damage from the earthquake. >>> now for the united nationsther agencies this earthquake in nepal could not have come at a worse time. the organization specializing in this disaster risk response is stretched thin. let's take a look at how serious the situation is currently. there are humanitarian emergencies in south sudan, the countries affected by ebola, and in the middle east. 15 relief agencies worldwide are appealing for almost $9 billion combined to address these crises. they have a funding gap of $15 billion. take the situation in syria, for example, humanitarian agencies say they need $4.5 billion dollars this year to care for basic needs. to talk more about this let's bring in a form united nations deputy special representative for afghanistan. he is live from boston in the united states. thank you very much for being with us on al jazeera. so we have a very strained humanitarian relief system here and the problem seems to be as i understand it not a lack of effort but a lack of donations, that funds are drying up. >> well i think th

the ruins on this site were listed as a unesco world heritage site dating back to the first century bcecond century ad. >>> now to a question which has got people scratching their heads for centuries. >>> why humans appear to be the only mammals with chins. now researchers think that i have come up with the answer. it may be down to the fact that we started cooking food. he explains to me a little earlier what this study means. >> chins are a by-product of other things that have been going on in our evolution for the last 2 million years. and so what we see first is the beginnings of the use of tools by our ancestors. and what that allows us to do is to process the foods we eat outside of our mouth, unlike other primaries that have to use mainly their teeth and jaws to process the hard foods that they eat. and because we can use, for example, stone tools to do this it means that we can -- it's much easier for us to eat some of the tough foods that enabled us to evolve in our evolutionary history. and what that means is that you see a reduction in the size of our teeth and jaws through

here in the capital, the damage is very extensive, especially to the four out of seven unesco historical sights. by no means is the city flattened. it has to be said that this whole range of concrete structures, many have feared they would collapse. these blocks of flats, which have been built to deal with the population explosion here of 2.5 million in the kathmandu valley. it's the old structures hit by the shallow quake. structures that date back to even the 3rd century, and these structures have been made up from handmade brick, no mortar or concrete between them with ancient timbers and came topping down. that's why we've had so many tourists killed and all sorts of tragedies with people trying to go through the rubble with their bare hands. very little equipment to aid them. no real heavy plant being involved in any numbers to try to retrieve the dead. those who are still alive, many have been recovered from the rubble an unknown number. the overall -- the number of the overall dead is continuing to rise and no one knows where that's going to stop. at this stage it's well beyond 2,

that's according to a new global report by unesco. there are still major weaknesses in the country's education system. >> reporter: inside a government school in delhi, most of the children come from poor backgrounds. the school provides them with books and uniforms, and of course there are no fees to be paid. most indian children now go to school. but some of the older ones have to balance their desire to learn with the need to support their families. most of the children come in the morning, but then in the afternoon go to work in small factories or even at home. they tell us if they don't do that, their family may not have enough money to buy food. at mid-day, it's lunchtime. the students are made to wash up before being served a simple but hot meal, provided free by the government, it's one of the big reasons why parents send their children to school. the children are now back in the classroom, tucking into mare meal of lentils and rice. many of these children come from poor or modest backgrounds, so this is possibly the only prop

the city of 300,000 is a unesco world heritage site.been known for having the best preserved palace courtyards and old city center in nepal. reports are that some 200 people were killed there during saturday's earthquake. apart from nepal's rich mountaineering and cultural history, most americans know little about the tiny nation. to help fill us in on the country's politics, economy and infrastructure, i'm joined by jonah blank, an anthropologist and a senior political scientist at the rand corporation. jonah blank, welcome. and before i ask you about this other, i understand your wife's family nepalese, they were in kathmandu when the earthquake struck but they're doing all right? >> yes. thank you judy. they're all safe. but they are trying to get enough water and fuel and wondering what happens next. >> woodruff: so it gives you another connection to this terrible disaster. so this is a country that for most of its existence was ruled by a monarchy but there has been a lot of political upheaval there in recent years. >> nepal was, u
