Stronghold. A new report saying the oceans worth billions, are in danger of collapse. O welcome to the programme. European leaders will hold an emergency meeting in brussels on the growing crisis in the Mediterranean Sea. More than 1,000 arrived on unsafe overcrowded boats. Its feared the number of migrants could reach 200,000 by the end of the year. Laurence lee is standing by in brussels, where the emergency meeting will take place. First to Barnaby Phillips who is in catania, where thousands have been arriving. Bring us up to date with the latest on the situation today. What has been happening where you are. The most recent arrivals were getting off an italian customs boat. They were brought in this morning, 220 people. We under all from subsaharan africa. Almost all men, but a handful of women, including some pregnant women amongst them. We watched them taken off the boat into Processing Centers into the port throughout the past hour. This is the context and the reason why there is an e. U. Emergency summit. You said 1,000 arrivals in the italian port in the last 24 hours, and a couple of days ago the u. N. H. C. R. Said there has been 13, 500 arrivals in the past week. In the mediterranean, the weather is warmer seas calmer so theres inspection that the flow of humanity across the mediterranean will increase if anything in the weeks and months to come. Barnaby phillips there, and now crossing to laurence lee in brussels. The italian Prime Minister says he needs more help from the e. U. To deal with the crisis. Is he likely to get that help when the Council Meets in brussels where you are . I think theres going to be some movement. Depends what you think the measure of success is really. After all theres any number of migrants and refugees in the united nations, and people like this that things an appropriate response for the crisis will be for rich countries to give shelter and refuge to thousands fleeing persecution and war. It looks very much as if the very opposite of that is likely to happen. The logic seems to run like this. The European Union was doing search and rescue, they decided to abandon that, because refugees were coming to europe in the knowledge that they would we rescued. They stopped search and rescue thinking that would stop people. That has not happened. Instead, it seems that theyd reinforce the push to make it difficult for people to get on the boats. And the headlines that you see out of it coming before the meeting starts are about blowing up boats, and going after smugglers, and a military component to actions run by the italians in the mediterranean. It sounds hard faced. Theres not this much on the level of sympathy in it. It is in the end, very much what the most right wing expressions, Public Opinion in europe think, they want the boats blown up, for people to have to see it in the first place. It appears that the primary responsible European Union to the crisis is to make the walls to fortress europe a little higher as you mentioned, the Italian Government says that nearly all the people that cross the mediterranean with the hopes of a better life, leave from libya. Our correspondent has been in misrata, talking to those that risking their lives. Reporter they escaped war and poverty, travelling for weeks or months to reach libya, the gateway to a better life in europe. Baba almost made it when his boat was intercepted. It was intercepted by the libyan coast guard. It was on the same day another carrying 400 migrants capsized. They got me and put me in container. And i come here. I dont know this place. People are suffering here. We dont understand where we are supposed to go or if theyll help us to live free. Reporter mohammed was on the journey, escaping sierra leone, after his parents died of ebola last year. We are orphans without anybody. We dont have anybody here for us. Thats why we are here. We dont have any help of anybody. Now they are in a Detention Center on the outskirts of misrata. 1,000 people are held here. The building used to be a school the classrooms are cramped. They come mainly from subsaharan countries, some from as far as bangladesh. Theres one toilet available for men and women. Living conditions are extremely difficult. Authorities do acknowledge that, but they say they are doing as best as they can to cope with that situation and in the coming months they fear things could get worse. With the onset of summer, many more migrants are expected to reach the coast of libya, everyone heard about the shipwrecks that cost are the lives of hundreds in the sea. Its a risk that they are prepared to take. Translation yes, its dangerous, but theres no work in my country, thats why ill take that risk. Maybe ill die. Im scared. I have no other option. I have not spoken to my mother in months. She doesnt know if im alive or dead. I have to work, earn money, and then i can see her again. It will take four or five years. It is the despair that made the men and women fly from home.

Yemeni Army Soldiers and officers loyal to the houthis and former president joined the march. We took to the street to condemn shelling of civilians, bombarding of residential areas. We say shame on you. Why dont you face us on the ground. Why dont you fight us like men, well face you, houthis are as solid as rocks. The houthis say they won the war.

We hear from the survivors from violence against migrants in south africa. And a chinese female activist detained for a month speaks to al jazeera. In sport, the n. F. L. Feels the impact of concussion injuries. Libby here with that story a little later now, nigerias army says it killed an important commander of boko haram. A terrorist leader. It comes as nigerian Ground Forces joined an offensive against the lastknown strong hold, in the forest in the northeast state of borno. The state launched an offensive, recapturing territory it control. On march 27th the headquarters of boko haram was announced. On april 7th Nigerian Forces overran the boko haram camps. On 10 april the army declared victory in two downs in borno. Lets talk to mike a former director of nigerian state security service, joining me via skype from the city. How significant is the latest advance by the nigerian army. Can we believe what they tell us about the latest offensive . Yes. Its very significant because you recall that before the election they did mention that boko haram and a lot of communities had been liberated by Security Forces. And the strongholds its significant. This is the last stronghold. Its the last stronghold of boko haram. And i believe strongly that the government is actually moving against boko haram. The problem is its the forces avoiding collateral damages. The government needs to take adequate action. You say this is the last stronghold of boko haram. How has the group used this area of the forest as a safe haven. About 60,000 Square Kilometres its difficult to operate. We are used to it. Thats why its easy for them to operate. And Security Forces were trying to avoid collateral damage. All right. Apologies for that. We seem to have lost mike there, talking about the latest offensive against boko haram. Now, hundreds of zimbabweans have returned home. Government Officials Say more will across the boarder. We spoke to a man who returned to his village emptyhanded. Reporter people who fled from attacks on african migrants in south africa disappointed confused and worried. This man didnt get to see his wife and children as he worked as a bricklayer. Hes home sooner than expected. There was a moment he thought he would never see his family again. I was attacked by 30240 people. They hit me on the head and then on the hands. He said he survived by pretending to be dead. One of them said leave him, hes dead. I struggled to walk. On a good month in south africa head made around 700. He sent most to zimbabwe moneys his wife aunt children and mother needed. They are heart broken he is battered and bruised. But at least hes alive. Translation when my son was in south africa we could buy food and pay school fees. Now what will we do the family has every reason to worry. Unemployment is a. High. The city near them is port victoria. It was built on mining and agriculture. Its no longer thriving. Farms and businesses are not operating at full capacity. That forced many young people to go to south africa looking for work. He still gets calls from clients in south africa asking when he is coming back to work. He is afraid he would be killed. He knows feeling safe is not enough. He needs to make a plan. Because if he doesnt, his family will have a hard time surviving. Meanwhile, in neighbouring south africa hundreds gathered for an antixenophobic march in johannesburg. Civil rights are calling for an end to attacks on migrants. Seven died in violence in the last few weeks. Charles stratford joins us live from johannesburg. We understand crowds have been gathering there all morning. Bring us up to date with what has been happening. Thats right. We are in a park here in johannesburg. Thousands were gathering. We expected crowds of 5,000 to 10,000 people. Its a variety of Civil Society groups calling for one thing. Everywhere you speak to says no to xenophobia. I spoke to one man. He described africans as being the same thing. Another key thing is the violence attacks in recent weeks is in no way representative of south africa. A keen push to make that message clear, and theres a variety of Civil Society groups here. As i say, theres people that are supporting h. I. V. Sufferers. There are trade unions here. Theres a number of different speeches by different people. As the day progresses. They will march from here soon. Theres a heavy Police Presence not necessarily in the park itself. We expect a police preps. Presence. Theres a key message, no to xenophobia. We know the police have been defloyd stop the attacks deployed to top the attacks, but how much of a problem is it for the government . It turned into a massive attack. The army has been deployed. Theres a couple of raids on hot spots. Al. Alexandria and another town poor areas, a number of arrests made its a massive embarrassment here. A campaign the government pushed forward. The government is present at this meeting. South africa belongs to all who live in it. Thats been needed by the South African government. You turn on the radio. Calling for a stop to this violence, and antixenophobic measures. Its having an effect on the economy. The government realises that its affecting South African businesses. Theres a fear of retaliatory attacks against South African businesses and has an effect on tourism. Theres european deposit pulling out warnings and tourists coming to south africa. It is very important here. The government is doing all it can. There are many who are too late in coming. Hundreds in baltimore have been proo testing against protesting against the death of a black man in Police Custody. Reporter days after a young black man died after being arrested by Police Protesters are back on the street making voices and frustration heard. Grieving and intensing known. Im done sitting down. If you dont do nothing, no justice will be served. Reporter they want justice and answers for the death of freddy gray. He was held in Police Custody under suspicious circumstances. His family and eyewitnesss say that gray fractured three vertebras after being roughed up by police and it left him in a coma that he died from. Im here for my community, and enough is enough we are not taking it no more. And basically im here for the brutality of the police cell phone video showed gray screaming in pain as he was loaded into the police van. Its unclear how or where the fatal injuries occurred. In the state of Maryland Police officers operated under a bill of right, which says only law enforce. Agencies can vet misconduct and officers dont have to immediately cooperate with investigations into wrongdoing. It undermines the ability for an outside entity to come in and investigate, leaving the police to police themselves. Anyone that is honest with themselves if you have an agency with an interest in maintaining legitimacy and careers of people involved. Theyll do what they can to not be found to d anything wrong. Critics hit back saying its preventing an internal investigation. It is in no way preventing the Baltimore Police department talking to the individuals or having an effect on the investigation. Reporter 63 of the residents in batt more are black, as baltimore is black, as is the mayor, and the police force and residents. This can happen in baltimore anywhere in america. The fact that it has been happening in baltimore, all over the country. Reporter with no clear answers on how mr gray died and at the hands of whom people say they are not done and plan to take to the streets in a couple of days. Lets get a check on the whether. Violent storms in india . Thats right, nasty weather across the northeast. We associate typhoons with india and bangladesh. This is up around bangladesh, pushing into the state.

Says it is concerned iranian ships may be carrying weapons for the houthis. Civil Rights Groups in south africa calls for an end on attacks against migrant workers. Seven have died in violence in the past two weeks an indian farmer died in a suspected suicide during a protest over a controversial land bill. Farmers are angry at modis policies and accuse of him not doing enough to cope with crop damage from unseasonal rains. This is the body of the a farmer. Translation a man commits suicide when all ways of his life are closed. He had to take the step. Reporter he lost his life in front of hundreds in new delhi. It accused the police of not doing enough to prevent his death. Translation police were acting like spectators we urged them to take actions. They had to do what we were not supposed do. The army had to scale the free. They became the casualties in a rising trend of suicide. Many former suicides every day. In the state alone. 601 farmers took their lives. Many have been in the got on belt. Opposition cotton belt. The governments shift from subsidy to investment is pushing low income armers to the brink what happened within a year . The countrys farmers lost faith in the party, and Prime Minister narendra modi. The farmers feel that Narenda Modis government it not profarmers. Modis government is antifarmers. There is no link between Government Policies and the suicide. They say people have taken their lives after destruction to their crops caused by severe weather. Many accused formers of point scoring, and whether its losing their crops or the prospect of losing their land. For some, its a matter of life and death. Why is the indian Land Acquisition bill so controversial. Well the changes allow the compulsory compulsory purchase of farm land without the consent of farmers. The farmers say they have not received compensation from the government for crop failure affecting millions of hectares and are angry at what is seen as a probusiness bias. Lets talk to our guest from the National Campaign for peoples right to information. And its a report that over 600 farmers committed suicide since the start of this year and because of a number of issues rising debt and subsidies. What is behind the tragedy, do you think . I think the largest book needs to be examined. The problem is that if someone faces destitution, if there is crop failure, that a poor farmer faces, and if theres no adequate safety net to protect their interest they feel they have no hope. That is the story that is coming out between all the farmers. If you look at the performance of the government over the last one year we are seeing in fact that people are concerned about the roll back about the rights that the struggle for and got in the last several decades. If one talks about the Food Security act, for example, which came about last year there has been an implementation of the act. If a farmer, a poor person losses their crop they have nowhere to go, they do not have two square meals a day to feed the family. Okay. If one looks at the budget spending the budget spending on social sector budgets have been cut, slashed by the government, they are spending on health has gone down by 15 and on education and other subsidies have been cut down. Let me jump in with a second question to you. Why do you think the politicians are not listening to the farmers, because the farmers say the government and the politicians are just paying lip service to their concerns. Well i think that there are Political Parties which are joining the protests with the farmers and the marginalized. We hope the government is more sensitive to the peoples needs, and that if these steps continue the image of the government as being procorporate antipoor will be cemented early. People are not seeing relief. If one looks at compensation in the case of crop damage people feel that they are getting a pittians hardly anything. There are people today protesting. Where they are taking. Let me get a final thought in here we are running out of time. The Common Man Party was voted to power on the grassroots campaign. If farmers are killing themselves like this man yesterday, how is that likely to affect the a. A. P. The Common Man Party . I think the farmer that killed himself was not from delhi, where the party is in power, off the party came to power on the plank of anticorruption and working for the welfare of the common person. I think theyll be judged on those two criteria. We do not have a local or anticorruption ombudsmen. There are a lot of problems in terms of development issue, which the party will have to make sure that it takes care of and addresses. People will judge them on those issues as well. Its important that the transparency and accountability regime which helps and empowers the poor is kept intact and both parties, would do well to heed that clearly its an emotive issue, thank you for talking to al jazeera. Now, a woman rights campaigner spoke to al jazeera about her experience in a chinese bail. She is one of five female activists that china released from bail after a month. 25yearold li calls her an ordinary citizen fighting for equal rights and studying law. A month ago chinese authorities, came to her home and detained they are. At the tim they were planning a campaign, pushing for simple things, like u. N. I. C. E. F. Bathrooms and protection against sexual harassment. We are planning to go on buses. There was five of us, i didnt think it was a big deal. They said how do you know it was a big deal. The street peddlers were arrested for disturbing social order. It seemed there were nervous about it. I didnt expect to be arrested. Her detention caught international attention. With many seeing it as a lack of human rights. She was kept in a detention cut off from families and friends who feared they may never see her again. Everyone was nice to me. They thought i was fairskinned. Educated. I sang for them, so they liked me. In the Interrogation Room it was a different story. They threatened me with my girlfriends safety. Once one put smoke in my. It was a serious insult. Another time they had a bright light on my face. My eyes were so sensitive i almost cried. I didnt want to cry in front of them or show my weakness, if i cried, theyd laugh at me. I held back my tears. Li is out on bail pending further investigation. Theres not been much attention given to lis case. But there were conditions given by the authorities about her release, that she not leave home or speak to journalists. Li believes keeping quiet would be a disservice not only to her cause, but her country. Its hard to say what is next. You always get acknowledgment for doing the right things. If what i did encouraged people. Im pleased to do so. Im not special. I dont have special experience or background. I grew up in the countryside. By taking li into custody, the authorities may have done what they didnt want turned an ordinary citizen into an unintentional hero former c. I. A. Director David Petraeus is due to be sentenced for leaking highy classified information. Hes pleaded guilty. Reporter when he was unanimously confirmed as the director of the c. I. A. , David Petraeus was applauded for his military pedigree as the top u. S. General in iraq and afghanistan. I dont believe that i have ever quite encountered a military leader or civilian leader for that matter with the combination of charisma and internet that general petraeus possesses but fastforward 14 months and the general was forced to resign accused of sharing top secret documents. They became romantically involved. They were not threatened by a member of the petraeus. Jill kelly began sending emails when the federal bureau of investigation unearthed brode well from the source. They discovered evidence of the affair with the general. According to the documents, petraeus is accused of sharing with rodwell eight of his black books. Recording his time in afghanistan. The highly confidential material is said to accuse the identities of Covert Intelligence officers, war strategy and notes from high level meetings. Petraeus will plead guilty to unauthorised removal of material. It carries up to a year in prison and a 100,000 fine. Its gaol time. The. Its a cast which is powerful. Protected by powerful interests. Petraeus ingratiated himself with the people who are not just supporting americas wars abroad. With those, in positions of power. Thats why unlike Edward Snowden in exile for exposing mass programs in the u. S. , or Chelsea Manning in gaol for leaking diplomatic cables to wikileaks. Petraeus is expected to pay a fine of 40,000, a third of what he collects for making a single speech time tore a short break. Time for a short break. When we come back a volcano that has uprooted thousands in chile. And latest from the playoffs after the break. Break. Welcome back. Chile issued a red alert after a volcano dormant for half a century erupted on wednesday. Authorities ordered 4,000 to leave their homes. The volcano 1,000km south of santiago calbuco has been dormant for years. Time for the sport. The National Football league is expected to pay hundreds of millions to former players suffering with head injuries. A lawsuit has been settle after 5,000 players accused the n. F. L. Of covering up dangers of concession. 34 of former players will develop play conditions like alzhiemers, as a result of head traumas. Chris borma, in a linebacker for the San Francisco 49ers retired because of his concerns about longterm head injuries. This is how it breaks down allowing cash awards of 5 million for players suffering with medical positions related to head trauma. Its statement to cost around 1 billion over 65 years, and around 200 players opted out of the settlement, retaining the ability to sue the n. F. L. Now, n. F. L. Writer and broadcaster Michael Carlson joins us from london. This has been a long fight for the players involved. Is it the deal they wanted . Well it depends on who you talk to. The fight is not necessarily over. Some of the players who dont like the deal could appeal it in court, so it will not be over until that process is settled. They have 30 days to appeal. The problem is the players that need to help want the settlement the quickest. In general i think, its a good deal. The payments are staggered depending on what the conditions are. Theres money for research, and as you said the total will probably go over a billion. To the n. F. L. That is not a lot of money. From their point of view crucially they escape liability. They are making the settlement but escape liability. From the players point of view it keeps everything out of the court, and any kind of court case could go on for years and years as they try to establish something we dont know the full story of. Its a frightening statistic that they are estimating 30 of players could develop brain conditions. What is down to improve though statistic . A lot of things are done at the moment. The protective equipment, the helmets are impressed all the time. Part of the problem is the helmet shields you when you become an attacker as opposed to becoming the victim. Rules are changing considerably, almost on a yearly basis, to try to take away the most painful and dangerous shots. The problem is things like c. T. E. And brain damage tend to occur from the representative concussions, the representative blows you take, rather than the one big hit that attracts the penalties, that people are trying to stop. I mean are parents thinking twice about allowing children to play . Absolutely. But to be honest thats gone on for a long time. Back when i was a kid my father played american football i intended to play american football. My mother was opposed to the idea. The whole idea of soccer mums in america is pretty much taking their kids to play soccer football as they call it in the rest of the world, as opposed to american football because there is less risk of traumatic injury and its easier sport for the kids to pick up and play. I think its fair to say fans sponsors and the players enjoyed the physicality of the n. F. L. Its a difficult balance to get it right, not taking out the physical context. Thats the main problem. It is part of the game. The game is a technical one theres a lot of strategy involved. At the end it boils down to player on player one having to overcome the other, and its the physicality that makes it attractive, and attracts a lot of players do it. We dont know for sure what it is that causes brain damage. And there are there could be other factors, not least the fact that anybody in the n. F. L. Probably played eight, more likely 1213 years of football before he gets to the n. F. L. Its probably youth and High School Football that is more dangerous, because thats when the brain is growing, and the body is not prepared to defend itself so well. Interesting to get your insight there. Michael carson n. F. L. Broadcaster and writer joining us there the line up for the Europeans Champions League is complete. A decisive goal in the real madrid bid against atletico. The 88th minute strike was the only goal as they beat atletico eight times.

Wednesday they released details of the world cup stadium. Reporter the new orion stadium design another step for the organizers of the 2022 world cup. And a major one confirming that the tournament took place in the winter months. Theres a sense of relief. I think everyone is happy that the date has been set. It brings a sense of closure on a subject and a sense of clarity for the future. The 40,000 seated stadium will have cooling technology and host the finals. Construction is expected to start next year and be ready in 2019. Qatar 2022 say theyll monitor the welfare of the construction workers involved. We have strict requirements for workers welfare. We have standards. We forced the standards, okay on our masses. They need to abide by the standards. We carry out inspections, regular inspections to visit the labour camps verifying periodically that they adhered to the requirements. Reporter this is the fifth of eight stadium that qatar 2022 say theyll have. Its not clear how many will be in total for the tournament. Another thing they are not sure about is whether the Federation Cup takes place in qatar before the world event. F. I. F. A. Suggested to could take place in another country in the middle east. They do not want to disrupt the season of leagues for more than one season. Its understandable. However, theres an understanding that therell be an event replacing the Federation Cup of the same magnitude tore larger. Seven years ago therell be complex situations that the world cup organiser will face. They say theyll work closely with the stakeholders, so not marching to the beat of their own drum. Reigning n. B.
