They say the fire started in a warehouse section of the temple compound where fireworks were stored. Reporter the rescue operations are over but many questions are being asked about how a disaster of this scale could have happened. Officials say a spark from a fireworks display setoff other fireworks being stored in a shed next to the temple. It brought down parts of the temple and setting it ablaze. Thats where most of the people were killed oninjured. There were were tens of thousands of people in around p around and the temple. The effects of the explosions were felt within a 1 kilometer radius with many windows, buildings and residences shattered in the area. It is a small fishing and residential town. Its hospitals were not equipped to deal with an accident of this scale. Many of the injured had to be transported to the capital 70 kilometers away. The state is also amidst elections. The Prime Minister has changed his schedule to visit the site Foreign Ministers from the group of seven industryingised nations are meeting in the person japanese city of hiroshima. Top diplomats are discussing threat from armed groups. The leaders are expected to visit the Peace Memorial to pay tribute to the victims of the atomic bombing more than 70 years ago. Hay highly symbolic city. Tell us what will be happening there. Reporter during the past few hours the g7 Foreign Ministers have arrived here. They have been greeted by the foreign minister of japan. He, of course, is hosting this g7 summit. At the moment im in the Peace Memorial park in the center of the city and just behind me on my right shoulder you can see the senate, and here that john kerry will come here to play flowers. This is the memorial that is in tribute to those who lost their lives after a u. S. Atomic bomb was dropped on this city more than 70 years ago. This will be a highly symbolic moment because no senior u. S. Politician has visited here befo before. John kerry becomes the highestranking u. S. Fish to come here. There is a good deal of speck official to come here. There is a good deal of speculation that this could be a dressrehearsal for obama attending the g7 leader summit next month, but the whis house would neither deny nor confirm that he will be coming here. Japan is hosting the summit and it wants to see a declaration that really commits the g7 membership to really nonproliferation and also peace. Here we have japan calling for peace and on the other side its a country that relies on the nuclear blanket provided to it by the u. S. Japan here performing something of a balancing act. Some summit taking place in this context during the past few months north korea, the neighbor just to the north west of here, has been carrying out a number of rocket and missile tests and on saturday the north said it had tested the engine of a long range inter ballistic missile. That is proof once more that north korea continues to disregard the warnings from the west and continues to break sanctions imposed on it by the u. N. Security council the north korea likely to be discussed. What about the regional tensions in the dispute in the south china sea, is that likely to come up as well . Reporter yes. Security generally is whats going to dominate this summit, whether its the Nuclear Issue of north korea and also what is happening in the south china sea. Japan wants to raise the south china issue in spite of the minister warning japan not to do so. The chinese believe that japan is trying to internationalise the dispute taking place of the sea where china has been reclaiming land and building up islands. The Prime Minister says g7 should stick to talking about issues that affect the economy and development and not the south china sea. That doesnt belong in a venue like this. I think what we will see is certainly the g7 Foreign Ministers writing about their concerns, but it will be no stronger than that because many of the members here, britain, france, italy, enjoy trade relations with china and they wont want to jeopardize those about speaking too hashly about what theyre doing in the south china sea. Snoom thank you for that. A response to reports from the media that the country has tested a new engine from a ballistic missile. An undated video showed him supervising a test and military drills. South korea says the north is years away from developing such a weapon. More from washington. Reporter clearly there is concern that here we have yet another statement of some sort of progress in north Koreas Nuclear program. Weve heard a stream of announcements over the last few months but also that sense to give outrageed statement is what the north koreas would want. There is a reluctance to oblige them on that. The south koreans say they may have perfected some engine. They dont think the North Koreans have a reliable one to aattach the engine to nor do they think the North Koreans have the ability to attach a nuclear war head. They say they do. Theres also the issue of whether this is about the Nuclear Program at all. We have a major conference coming up next month. So were wondering if this is about domestic politics after almost three weeks of searching, belgian prosecutors say theyve identified the socalled man in the hat.

Reporter she is described as a quit witnessed girl was playing outside the house when she vanished 18 months ago. Theyre convinced she was abducted and is alive. The authorities have done little to find her. In most cases when children go missing, theyre left behind in dangerous places. What makes this more desperate is she went missing a few steps from her home. The desperation took them to a popular morning show. So far its staff have been unable to find her, but they have been successful in many other cases. In another district a Refugee Assistance Group is staging a day of fun for displaced children. It is a demonstration to the local authorities of how many children rely on them, especially those separated from their families. Translation theyre completely defenseless. They can say that turkey is shocked by the high numbers of refugees. It is trying to create a situation for managing the issue. Reporter he says there are more than 50,000 unaccompanied children this turkey. We have been unable to obtain an official figure in the government.

That im president and i cant make anything happen. He stood up, he said im finished. The realities. I thought it was worth us taking a shot. Welcome back. Youre watching al jazeera.

In the philippines at least 20 soldiers have been killed and 50 others injured in fighting between the military and separatists. Witnesses say about 100 fighters from the group battled troops in the Southern Island of basilan. Going to our correspondent for more. This is the first flareup of violence in a long time. Do we know about what happened and why now . Reporter this is what we know. It is an entire battalian were held to a rebelheld area. About a month ago they were transferred from another island precisely for this particular operation. The Philippine Military now claims that in that operation it has killed a national who joined the group a few years ago who was involved in kidnapping operations and also known as a bomb maker. There are photos that proves that this person has been killed together with two other high level targets. However, the price for this operation is quite high. The timing is also suspicious. Security has always been an iss issue. The Philippine Government is not releasing any other information apart from the fact that more than 20 people have already died and what we know as we speak is that some soldiers who are wounded are still in the area of battle and theyre still trying to evacuate them until now the belief was that it had been weakened because there had been a decade of government offensives against the group, that they lost their strength. Does this suggest the contrary . Are they making a come back . Reporter definitely. When it started more than 16 years ago, they started as what they claim to be jihad s. They wanted to rule over the areas. In the course of many years they have been turned into nothing about but kidnapper ransom groups. Theyve held more than 16 foreigners, theyve taken more than 10 indonesians over a week ago and others. They have become bolder and well equipped. Their strategy is nothing but criminal operation. A lot of them are believed to have been involved in narcotics. It is difficult for the government to go after them. Theyre in areas held by civilians. It is a matter for the Philippine Army to trip to make sure it is surgical. The question is how many have been affected. The area of operation yesterday is surrounded by a lot of communities and civilians. Theres no reports coming out whether they have been bolder, some have been hurt. No reports of displacement as well at this point of course, the timing in all this, elections are due in the philippines in three weeks time. What impact does this attack have on the conduct of the vote and the way people will vote in three weeks . Reporter it puts all of these islands in a difficult situation. A few years ago there were several failure of elections there. It is difficult to conduct operations in terms of voting. Elections now have become automated. It doesnt make it very difficult because the chance for voters is difficult for the commission and the election. We dont know exactly why this happened, but there is a pattern here that is normal. During election season thats when kidnap operations are rife. A lot of the leaders are affiliated with local politicians. Analysts believe that this is a good source of Funding Campaign for local politicians there. It is a trend that kidnapping operations go up into these areas thank you for that. Four people have been killed and seven others injured in an attack on the eve of perus president ial election. The authorities believe that rebels are behind the attack. Three of those killed were soldiers and the fourth was a driver. They were taken forces to guard voting stations. Special forces have been deployed to the region. Security and primaries are on voters minds. Opinion polls suggests that the front runner is moulding on to her lead but it unlikely to win outright in the first round. Reporter last month this man was standing outside his home. A young man walked up to him and shot him twice in the head. His family says he died from a wave of violence. Translation now youngsters who walk around armed and they have become more aggressive. There has to be a new strategy to change all of this. Reporter crime is increasing and getting more violent. Shootings and armed robberies happen in daylight. Police say one in every three murders are committed by a hit man. She says she goes to the market carrying only the money she will spend. She doesnt trust there are enough police to protect the population. Translation you go out in fear. You cant have more money because you walk around scared. They kill you for nothing. Thats what i would like the next government to change. Reporter the National Institute of statistics say nearly one thing of the 10 million residents have been a victim of some form of crime. Surveys say that most people unsafe outside their homes. It seems this issue is more important for voters than economy, poverty, health and education. Reporter all candidates say they will improe security. It clues using the army to protect government institutions and improving policing and investigations of crime. Some would favor the Death Penalty for the most serious crimes. Translation the last 10 years have been marked by failure and abandonment by the police. The security and judicial institutions havent received attention. It is a great challenge for the next government. Focusing on Violent Crime by strengthening investigations and criminal intelligence. Reporter the family says there should be more and better trained police. They say they hope the next government will put security on top of its agenda the polls are open in chad where the president is seeking a fifth term in office. He seized power in 1990.
