Ukraines government has launched what its calling on antiterrorism occupation in the eastern city of carr kiev. 70 people have been arrested the the unrest in Eastern Ukraine follows russias annexation of crimea. There has been protests in several cities. Prorussian demonstrators set tyres in front of the Regional Assembly alight. Police have regained control. In the city of lahoms a government building was seized by prorussian groups. They want a refferent come on the regions future. In donetsk prorussian demonstrators are calling for a referendum on splitting from ukraine. The interim deposit is blaming moscow, and say its part of a russian plan to break up the country. Lets go to the correspondent joining us live from don esket. What has been going on overnight . Well, Ukrainian Special forces moved in on the Regional GovernmentAdministration Building in the carr kiev a few hours ago. We have been told that 70 people have been arrested. What the ukrainian authorities called separatists. The ukrainian Authorities Say that sorry, that the terrorism operation is ongoing, the city has been shut down, and the system has been blocked. Theres dramatic pictures, the building set on fire. There were clashes, and thats put everyone here in donetsk on high alert. Prorussian protesters are in control of the original government building here, and there has been talk that authorities may be moving in. There has been some negotiations. An oligarch of the city apparently has been talking to protesters and the police. Apparently perhaps reaching a deal that a process is here, handing over their weapons, that authorities will not use force. Who are the protesters, are they prorussian or russian provocateurs, and others in kiev that Yulia Tymoschenko and others are calling them . Its difficult to say. There are a few hundred pro activists here, and thousands outside supporting them. Quantifying, you know, the numbers of who is russian, who is ukrainian, or as russia suggests, some of them may have come from the west. I think that is very difficult to tell. The people here tell us that they are prorussia, and they are ukrainian. As i mentioned difficult to tell. Thank you very much for that. Thats our correspondent kim, joining us from the east ukrainian city of don esket. To other news, aid workers feel an outbreak of disease in the solomon islands, devastated by floods. 23 killed in whats been described as the worst flash flooding in the countrys history, and the death toll expected to rise with 40 people missing. 50,000 people are homeless, with many living homeless and many living in makeshift camp. Andrew thomas is in the capital. This is dividing the area in half, a concrete bridge washed away, living a bridge downstream, and that has been damaged. The concern is not only that the missing may turp up to be drowned, but disease takes hold in the big camps springing up around the city. 50,000 displaced. 10,000 in camps. One has 2,800 people in it with two toilets. The real concern is diarrhoea takes hold, dengue fever, mohl airia and mosquitos. The red cross said they are concerned that more people will die of disease than in the actual flooding. This the first dry day in a week here, it gives a little window of opportunity, tar paul jip, water con tarpaulin, water containers. At the moment the concern is that disease will take hold before real aidest gets underway. Heavy rain forced thousands to abandon their homes in six provinces in argentina. The hardest hit area has seen four days of storms and floods. Schools cancelled and public transport suspended. Kuwait has donated 249 million to meet the syrian crisis. The money will go to the United Nations and International Aid agencies. The u. N. Says its forced to cut food rations for those left rungry, because of donors money has not been received. The World Food Program says the delay means the Standard Food basket has to be cut by 20 in march. More people have to be fed. The un says it came close to its target of feeding 4. 2 Million People inside syria, reaching 4. 1 million. A senior policy advisor for humanitarian response, and individual don or are not doing enough. Certainly theres a lot of crisis happening at the moment. Theres crisis in south sudan, renewed fighting and displace. In darfur. More than that we urge countries to dig deep, and individuals, we found that there has been a reluctance to fund the crisis. Even amongst, you know, common citizens, your average person. They may be more generous, it seems that a political crisis of this magnitude seems out of reach and almost hopeless. And we are here to say that its not, and if people need assistance, as noted by the World Food Program statistic, a lot of aid helping a lot of people. Countries like United States still needs to give more assistance, more aid, and we encourage it to continue. Countries like france, which has given less than its fair share based on g. D. P. , countries like south korea and russia. They have the means, but not the assistance they need to provide caught up in the crisis. Theres another aspect that is troubling. The humanitarian impediments, the obstacles to humanitarian access. 4 Million People are trapped in areas inside syria that are hard to reach, where aid cann reach them. The jordanian government is aring considering sweeping changes to juve nil detention. We have more from ayman. Teenagers in jordan can end up in a facility like this for hurting someone in a fight. Many never expected to end up here. Other didnt expect that stealing would land them here. This is a young man who is 14, and has been here for 5 months because he stole money. He did it because a man threatened to stab him if he didnt. Translation i regret not listening to my father. He used to make friends with pa bad he used to tell me not to make friends with bad company. Alarming figures have been revealed about juveniles in detention. 23 considered suicide. 87 suffered depression. 64 experienced severe psychological trauma. This is why the social Development Ministry wants parliament to improve a draft law. The proposed juvenile detention draft how suggests substantial changes, replacing detention sentences with community service, as well as increasing the age of criminal accountability from seven to 12. These amendments will ensure jordans Child Protection laws are compatible with International Conventions it has signed. 85 of juveniles in detent n detention the minister said theyd be better off in school. Theres a need to look into the urgency of not disrupting their school life, and, therefore, the idea of instead of residing in center, we would have programs were there would be any behavioural changes. Most parents of Young Offenders agree changes in the law are necessary. Translation a childs first mistake should not be punished with prison. My son will learn to commit other offenses by children in prison who are a bad influence. Changes to the law are widely expected to be adopted. The Sri Lankan Government said it will not cooperate with a United Nations investigation into war crimes. Tamils may have been killed in the final part of the war. The Syrian Government does not accept the United Nations authority. The view of the government of sri lanka is that we will not be participating in any investigation that is carried out by the office of the high commissioner for human rights. For the simple reason that we do not accept the authority of the commissioner to do this. More to come on al jazeera, including Oscar Pistorius takes the stand for the first time as hes against the defense of the murder charge. Plus, caged and barred. Al jazeera marks more than 100 days since staff were imprisoned in egypt and demands their immediate release. Its good to have you with us. These are the top stories on al jazeera. Ukraines government launched an antiterrorist operation in the eastern city of carr active. Police arrested 70 people who seized a regional building on sunday. More than 50,000 people have been left homeless in the solomon islands, which has been devastated by floods. 23 people have been killed. That number is expected to rise as the search for bodies continued. Kuwait has donated 249 million to International Aid agencies to help relieve the syrian crisis. The u. N. Says its been forced to cut food rations because of a shortage of money from donors. The Philippine Supreme Court upheld a law retiring Sex Education in all schools, forcing the government to provide contraception to the poorest. There has been a legal challenge from the catholic church. We have more from manila. This law took almost 15 years to enact. The Supreme Court ruled that the contentious Reproductive Health law is constitutional, despite opposition from the Roman Catholic church here in the philippines. The Supreme Court has lifted its temporary restraining order on the implementation of its law that has been in effect since march 2013. Under the law, this means the government is compelled to institutionalize education to all schools, in high school and university, it means the government and compelled to provide contraceptive measures to the communities that are not going to be able to represent themselves. Therefore many of those proponents and you are skeptical because many of the provisions have been taken off. Still, especially in a country with a burdening population, with a government having a hard time providing social services to a rising population, and definitely its a step forward for a country that, in fact, has one of the highest rising case of h. I. V. In the world. Search teams failed to relocate faint sounds they think could be from the black box on the missing Malaysia Airlines plane. There have been no trace of the signal since they were first heard. Batteries only last for around 30 days. The search coordinator says the area is being narrowed. Its been a month since the plane disappeared on its way from kuala lumpur to beijing, with 239 people on board. The last signal detected by australian search vessel ocean shield lies 720km northwest of perth. 600km away from a spot where the chinese picked up a transmission. Its the strongest lead, with the signal heard for two hours saturday and sunday on a part of the indian ocean that is 4. 5km deep. As you all know, we have a positive lead. Today we have 14 ships and 14 aircraft over those sites, flat out trying to enhance that lead and to deliver up something more tangible. But again, of course, as you have heard me say in the past, this is an Herculean Task over a wide area, the water is extremely deep. Rescue workers are racing to free 22 workers strap trapped in a flooded coal mine. They have been lowering pipes to pump out the water. There has been no communication from the men after the shaft was flooded on monday. The leader of the canada separatist party resigned after it was voted out of power in the quebec elections. A liberal party won a majority election. They hoped to boost a showing in parliament. Jubilant liberal supporters celebrate their partys stunning victory. The nights big winner is this man, leader of the liberals in quebec. After a 33day campaign, the people swept him into office, and turfed out the ruling party. Translation tonight quebec is one, all quebec is one, giving itself a stable government. Our priority will be the economy and jobs. Quebec chose openness, and unity, its a one strong, proud people. To the party this is a serious blow. The leader has resigned and could lose her seat in quebecs parliament. She had taken office 18 months ago. She called this election early, in a bit to increase her partys support in parliament on a platform of secular values. The campaign was dominated by calls from a referendum in canada, something many voters did not want this time around. The problem in quebec is the idea of creating a sovereign state. Contrary to what is happening in other normal countries. For this reason, the choice between left and right has been put to the side, because we have been stuck debating the same thing for the past 50 years. In his campaign slowing jornings the liberal leader emphasise the potential negative and political effects of a vote for independence. And now it seems that has struck a cord with the people of quebec. Now, the republic of irelands president is making an historical visit to the u. K. As the First Official by an irish head of state sips irelands tin dependence from britain. They are looking to consolidate relations after a groundbreaking visit by Queen Elizabeth to the emerald isle three years ago. A man who monitors the u. K. s antiterrorism laws says british muslims have to put up with being detained when they travel in and out of the country. A law known as schedule 7 allows them to detain travellers without suspicion. What happens has not been heard when theyve been detained. We have an exclusive report. Since the attack on the trade center airports have been a front line for antiterrorism activities, schedule 7 enables the police to stop anyone coming or going through immigration and question them under the terrorism act. The detail never normally comes out. This recording offers on insight into what seems to go on beyond the scenes. The man who recorded this did so because he was sick of being stopped, even though theres nothing in his life of any interest. I had a man in front of me talking about associating black people with rape, with violence, and putting the knives in the backs of people. And with islam. Yes. It worries me. For someone who has this power and responsibility, who is looking after national security. The antiterrorism officer asked questions about British Foreign policy. Really, i was born here, i have a british passport, and seeing people with european passports walk through and im there, i get stopped. Sometimes for three or four hours, and im not allowed home, basically, im not allowed to see my family. The government had guidance that many muslims find this offensive, but independent legal adviceors insist schedule 7 is a youseful tool. If you look at the numbers of people charged with terrorism offences, the number of terrorist prisoners in the u. K. , im afraid there as well theres a predominance of asian people. What the police would tell you is what they are doing is proportionate not perhaps to the population as a whole, but to the risk. The home Office Points out in the three years to 2012 there were 12 significant convictions of people on terrorism offences who had been stopped under schedule seven. Thats out of a total of 237,000 people stopped. Thats why campaigners against schedule 7 stay far too many innocent people have been caught in the net. Cage said it had endless muslims explaining about a similar experience. They had their phones tone and is demanding the legislation be revoked. Various organizations tried to correct this, right. They have asked in the beginning they asked for safeguards can we have can the reasonable suspicion clause be added, can we collect details about the faith of people stopped, can we record stops, but, you know, this has been theyve been asked for this for years, but its been ignored. At this stage we have to say now that schedule 7 needs to be repealed. Thats a debate in government about whether schedule 7 might be less confrontational. Stopping people in a way that they may find intimidating may win many hearts and minds. Oscar pistorius has tape to the witness stand at his murder trial in pretoria in south africa. The Paralympic Champion killed his girlfriend in february last year. He said he mistook her for an intruder, beginning his test moan which request an emotion testimony with an apology to her family. Police are investigating reports of gunshots. 30,000 in Rio De Janeiro are on strike as part of a general strike in the construction industry. The workers are calling for better pay and in some cases better working conditions. 2,000 of these striking construction workers are working on the olympic park project. Thats a project that is incredibly important, and its on hold because of this strike. This is the main venue for the 2016 olympics, and its an important and very expensive projects costing over a 750 million. The project was very much in its early stages, and olympics are not for a couple of years. Theres still a lot of time. Still, the strike is directly affecting that. But maybe more importantly in the immediate term, part of the strike is affecting the 2014 world cup, which kicks off in a few weeks here in brazil. In rio, work has been halted on an important metro line as well as in a highway linking the International Airport with the city. This is important because both of these projects werelinged and supposed were linked and supposed to be ready in time for the world cup. Now that is in doubt. Journalists around the world came together to demand the release of al jazeera staff detained in egypt. Peter greste, Mohamed Fadel fahmy, and Mohammed Badr, have been locked up for more than 100 days. They are falsely accused, providing a platform to the outlawed muslim brotherhood. Patty culhane reports from new york. College students in new york joined the movement, here to learn about the unjust imprisonment of al jazeeras journalists. First, theres a traditional system of land ownership. Its been 100 days since peter greste walked freely, 100 days since Mohamed Fadel fahmy slept soundly. 100 days since Mohammed Badr new freedom. Abdullah alshami suffered longer than that. All behind bars, they may have been cut off from the world, but are not forgotten. In london, journalists that compete with each other united. Their silence sending a world the world is watching. The state department is watching. We are watching and we have conveyed concerns. We urge the government drop the charges. In new york some of the most powerful Media Organization attended a press conference, warning the Egyptian Government that their legitimacy is on the line. Any government wants to appear legitimate. For as long as the Egyptian Government is parading journalists in cages, dressed in white jump suits, theres no way that an Egyptian Government can be seen as legitimate. These journalists believe pressure from those and their profession and the broader public will lead to their release. The hope is if the pressure is relentless, it would seem its a fit that can be made. Academics joining with journalists to send the message the harsh spotlight on your country will not be turned off.
