other limbs were also crushed. amputation of the ring and little finger and left side amputation of the whole hand. >> this case wounded while cooking doesn't want his face to appear on television because his mother doesn't know how badly he was hurt. misrata is surround by gadhafi's forces on three sides. the only route of escape is the sea. some of the wounded were so badly injured they had to be turned back. doctors feared they wouldn't survive the journey. the city has been under attack for nearly two months and increasingly, it's the civilian population that's paying the highest price. >> united nations security council resolution 1973 talked about protecting civilians. do you think civilians are being protected? >> they're not protected at all. every day bombing, today 20 cases in one hospital. more than 20 death cases in one hospital. >> reporter: hundreds of my grant workers from west africa were trucked to the port to board the ship. organized by the international organization for migration. they've been sleeping in the open, exposed to the elements, incoming rockets and artillery. >> we've been here the past two months, no medicine. even food is a problem and water. >> reporter: their long wait is now almost over, but they leave behind thousands more stranded in a city whose fate is precarious. these men from ghana are just a tiny fraction of the tens of thousands of people who are desperate to get out of misrata. a city that president barack obama himself has said is under a medieval siege. much of misrata is without electricity. checkpoints have been set up on almost every street. there's a pervasive fear of infiltration by pro-gadhafi agents. >> he was in the floor of house. bowel injury. >> reporter: at this clinic near the port, all the wounded are civilians. >> it's crushed. >> reporter: the doctors here struggle to get by with barely the basics, says dr. ali ramadhan. unfortunately, he says, we're suffering from a shortage of equipment, anesthetics and medicine for diabetes and high blood pressure. nearby, a school has been converted into a shelter. malika from morocco fled her apartment in a hurry. we left, she says, because there was shooting, tanks and snipers were firing around our house. sudanese accountant abdullah abandoned his home after it was hit by a missile. >> i want to leave libya by any means. >> any means?

well, it should. because loyalty is a two way street. and when one side gives the other has to give back. so every action is a reaction. every push is a pull. and every ounce of dedication by one party should be met with the same amount of dedication by the other dedicated redcoat customer service. more first-class upgades. miles that don't expire. this isn't benevolence. this is our business. and the next time an airline asks for yours ask them first: what they've done to deserve it. you're watching "world one" live from london. our top stories, people in war-torn libya could get more help from foreign aid agencies. the united nations says it's reached a deal with the government to allow humanitarian workers inside the capital, tripoli. it comes as a rescue ship ferries nearly 1,000 people out of misrata. they have been taken to relative safety of benghazi. in nigeria, demonstrators took to the streets to protest last weekend's election. the winner was goodluck jonathan. some of the demonstrations turned violent. nigeria's red cross is saying many people have been killed. we're joined now by christian purefoy who's in the capital of abuja. tell us what you know about the fighting. >> reporter: yesterday, as you said, violence erupted in key flash points in northern nigeria. the military went in hard and tried to stamp down on it quickly hoping to contain it and control it. we are hearing reports from the red cross now, zain, that the killings have continued overnight but not necessarily in those cities but more in the rural areas, particularly in the states of kaduna. we're not sure who they're targeting in the royal areas. the violence started out against the ruling party, the pdp, the now winner incumbent president goodluck jonathan's party. his party agents, his buildings, even his vice president's advisers. but then it began to move on to a much more serious die nam ache tacking churches and mosques. and that is a very dangerous element for nigeria. as you said, the southern christian part of nigeria. and the northern party voted for the muslim candidate. the concern is this has been a flashpoint in nigeria for almost its entire 50-year existence. the statistic is saying that 15,000 people have been called -- killed in sectarian violence over the last 12 years since nigeria returned to democracy. that's how serious it is, zain. >> christian, the tensions that we're hearing about, does it just come down to christian muslims, that's the issue? or is there more? >> reporter: no. there's definitely much more to it. manufacture the officials are saying this is not a religious protest and riot. as i said, they were killing, targeting the ruling party officials yesterday. the problem is, this is not a spontaneous thing. this is a controversial election. the last year since goodluck jonathan became acting president after the death of the former northern president last year, there has been a battle for this presidency. and nigeria has basically been ruled by northerners for the majority of its 50-year existence. they see this as a power shift, a threatening power shift to the south. they don't really want that the to happen. and for the past year, there's been a lot of bad rhetoric, not just by the politicians but also by the preachers in mosques across the north. we were up there during the presidential election on saturday. we talked to some preachers and although everyone said this is not a religious issue, politics is not a -- religion -- in politics there's no religious sentiment at all, there were pamphlets being handed out that muslims should not vote for nonmuslim brothers. that's extremely inflammatory. having said that, zain, it is not just a northern issue. this is going on in the churches in the south. the concern is, this is becoming a very divisive issue. when you look at the votes being cast, nigeria is being almost cut in two between these two parties, zain. >> cnn's christian purefoy reporting from abuja in nigeria. thanks. nigeria is perhaps the most populous of all the country on the continent, about 152 million people living there. in terms of religion it's about equally split between muslims in the forth and christians who live in the south. when we're talking about the economy, we're talking about oil here. it is africa's largest oil producer and the second largest economy. more than half the population lives in poverty. that, of course, is a huge -- this issue there for the electorate as they choose a new leader. when it comes to the government, it has a turbulent government after years of oppressive rule. nigeria returned to civilian government in 1999. since then, more than 10,000 people have died in sectarian violence. zain? dozens of wildfires are still burning across the u.s. state of texas. as ed lavandera reports, there are things making it really hard for firefighters. >> reporter: dustin tidwell's mission is to keep the wildfires from smothering the small town of graham, texas. he's battling the flames just five miles from the edge of town. >> any second it could light right back up. >> reporter: what makes the wildfires hard to battle simply the terrain. little spots like this can flame up into flames 6 to 8 feet high in a matter of seconds. that's what just happened here a little while ago. >> yes. it shot back up. that's when we went out there and knocked it down. >> reporter: even though a lot of this has already burned, it can keep on burning, right? >> right, right. there's plenty of stuff here that can still start. >> reporter: hundreds of people have been forced to evacuate from this fire near graham. it scorched more than 50,000 acres and willed one firefighter. this is one of several dozen major wildfires raging across the state, from the texas panhandle down to the state capital of austin. the state forest service called in four c-130 air force planes to drop fire suppressant on these fast-moving wildfires. the fires are fueled by low humidity, high temperatures and high wind which make it almost impossible to contain the flames. >> we talked to the national weather service. the winds are going so many directions. we've seen this fire shift four, five times in different directions over the course from when it started. >> reporter: for more, most of the 10,000 people who live in the town of graham are safe. but a few warn so the lucky. she and her husband had ten minutes to escape after flames jumped a nearby road and swarm their home. >> we watched it burn. >> reporter: they drove away to higher ground and could only stand and watch their home go up in flames. >> i thank god every day that we're alive. and this can be -- this can be rebuilt. but we can't be replaced. >> reporter: ed lavandera, cnn, graham, texas. let's see how weather conditions are affecting the fires. jen delgado is over at the international weather center. how is it looking? >> last week we talked about the fire danger across parts of the u.s. as well as the severe weather threat. we're going to be dealing with that once again today. severe weather will be popping out but there's a fire danger for eastern new mexico as well as texas and even northern parts of mexico dealing with drought. today we see a front pushing through and ahead of that, winds gust up to 30 miles an hour, about 50 kph and with single digit relative humidity values, that fire danger will last, because do not have any significant rain in the forecast for parts of texas. let me show you what's happening on the radar. we have a watch in place for parts of missouri. this is our next system that will be coming through. it's going to be producing snow up towards the north but more importantly, we're going to be dealing with the severe weather threat. once again today, the risk of tornadoes as well as damaging winds and large hail. that's really going to be setting up across the midwest. we're talking about eastern arkansas as well as for parts of oklahoma, you can see missouri, anywhere in this orange shading, that's where we'll see our greatest threat for severe weather. that will be causing travel delays as we go through the afternoon as well as into the evening. right now, no delays out there. certainly that is going to change as we head later into tuesday. now i want to leave you with video coming out of china. this is a fire of a different sort coming out of china. this is actually out of the shandong province. this didn't produce rain but kicked up strong winds and actually caused a fire right near the resort area of mt. thai. that's in shandong promise. mt. thy is one of china's great sacred mountains. it has sacred relevance to china. this is one of the five sacred mountains across japan. we don't want to see anything like that happen. good news is, it looks like everything has been brought under control. at a time, they 1,000 residents evacuated. >> good video. interesting stuff. jen, thank you very much. this is "world one," live from london. >> from tv comedy to courtroom dram manchs he's back in the news again. find out why charlie sheen has a date with a jij today, not one but two court case. and wheels of change. why a shake-up of cuba's economy could mean a change for the country's eye cornic cars. ink, ink, ink, ink, ink... i mean i love that card. it does things differently too. great customer service, going above and beyond to help me out as a small business. it's accepted in twice as many places around the world as american express, and if i ever need to give my employees ink cards, they're free. announcer: make your mark with ink. chase what matters. go to chase.com/ink. you're feisty. you're fabulous. so get out there! with bold, beautiful lashes from lashblast. with all-day gorgeous lipcolor from outlast. with clean -- the makeup without the mask. you're ready, you're set... now make it official. tell us what makes you a covergirl on facebook. covergirl. the next generation of easy, breezy, beautiful is you! rockin' it for 50 years!

>> thank you. let's take a look at what newspapers around the world are saying about the unrest in the region. in the united arab emirates "gulf news" has this headline "quelling raging syrian protests." the article says depending on how fast reforms go into effect, the demonstrations will slowly wither off or snow ball into massive numbers. focusing on protests in yemen, britain's financial times has this headline "yemenis can counter chaos." it is wrong to assume yemeni society is somehow not ready for the strongman's removal. and finally, this is the headline from the asian age in india. a spring and a limp in arab step. it says future events will be determined as much by the characteristics of each country and the staying power of rulers as by the attitudes of the united states and other major western powers. one issue many views, you can read all articles in full, go to facebook.com/w1 cents cnn. this is "world one" live from london. dull and safe, may not be the greatest traits. you couldn't describe zain that way but they could hold the secret to becoming the perfect princess. >> i think her boring aspects are in fact actually what she's got going for her. and in sports, derrick rose was in full bloom on monday night as he carried the chicago bells. couldn't describe monita like that, to yet another win. that's just ahead. that's a recipe for failed investing. open an e-trade account and open doors, seize opportunities, take action with some of the most powerful yet easy-to-use trading tools on the planet. all built to help you maximize the potential of every dollar you invest. successful investing isn't done by throwing ideas against the wall and hoping. it's done by lowering your costs and raising your expectations by using unbiased research and powerful screeners to build a diversified portfolio with stocks, bonds, mutual funds and every etf sold. and we'll help you every step of the way. with 5-star service and free education covering everything from the basics to advanced investing strategies. start now and we'll give you up to $500 and let you trade free for 60 days. visit our website, call us, open an account. e-trade. investing unleashed. so he chose a university where the faculty average over 14 years of experience in their fields to help him turn a thesis into a business plan and accelerate the path between ideas... and actions. my name is myron sullivan, i'm developing a robotic system to clean oil spills, and i am a phoenix.
