As the fallout from the Panama Papers continues, germany has come out with a new plan to fight tax havens. First, our top story, live in paris. Genie over the past year, a war in yemen has ripped that country apart. More than 6000 people have been killed, and some 2 Million People have been forced from their homes. At midnight local time, a new u. N. Backed ceasefire began that both sides in the conflict have promised to uphold ahead of peace talks next week. Our correspondent reports. Ceasefirebacked has come into effect, and some in the yemeni capital are believing that an end to the fighting is in sight. We hope this truce will be a serious truce and that all parties will see her will stick to it. We want a ceasefire, peace. We are against chaos because we have been at this for a whole year and we want a truce. Yemen was plunged into conflict when sunni the s january. A Coalition Led by saudi arabia began bombing rebels and their allies. More than 6000 yemenis have been killed, and 2. 4 million displaced in just over one year. Mondays ceasefire comes after months of three nude u. N. Of three u. N. Brokered just days iner, a houthi delegation the rebel held capital d intrikes have calme recent weeks. Hours before the trees became into effect, there were sporadic clashes across the country. Skirmishes in the Central Province of marie left dozens dead. But with both sides publicly committing to the ceasefire, many of many believed they are one step closer to secure lasting peace in talks scheduled in kuwait next week. Next, to syria, where Islamic State militants have taken back a stronghold in the Northern Region of aleppo, days after losing it to a group of mainly Turkish Backed rebels. The u. K. Based syrian observatory of human rights says other fighting around aleppo has killed close to 40 soldiers and rebels combined. The latest unrest leaves a fragile ceasefire more and more in jeopardy. John kerry telephoned his russian counterparts to discuss ways to strengthen the truce that excludes the rebel out islamicont and the state group. Our correspondent told us more. This is an assault being carried out by the opposition there. There have been affiliates of al qaeda. The towntered around that was taken back by the opposition just over a week ago in heavy fighting. They are really trying to capture government supply lines in their parts of the town, the part of aleppo that they control. It is something of a yoyo situation because in the week leading up to the start of the februarye week before 27, the government did exactly that to the opposition in aleppo, cutting their supply heading northbound out of the city. The opposition is trying to do the same in return to the government in the area that they control south of the city. At the same time, the Syrian Government has announced preparation at stages for aleppo proper and have indicated that the russians will take part in airstrikes whenever they will take place. Russians had said that they would cease their airstrikes unless it was against terrorists, and there that should and that there should be a truce in place. But the russians have said they ,ill carry on airstrikes again and theyre trying to justify the airstrikes even though under law, other rebels in the area, and even in fact, the heaviest airstrikes have been carried out since the truce came into place back on the 27th of february. Genie next to japan, where u. S. Secretary of state john kerry is on a historic visit to hiroshima. He is to become the most senior american official to pay his memorial,t the citys to victims of the u. S. Nuclear attack in 1945. That attack reduced hiroshima to ashes and killed some 140,000 in all. John kerry called the visiting gut wrenching reminder of the need to work toward a world free of nuclear weapons. Express on i want to a personal level how deeply moved i am, and how honored i am to be here as the first secretary of state to visit the beautiful city of hiroshima. Earlier today, as you know, i anded the Prime Minister other citizens for a tour. Display. Tunning it is a gutwrenching display. It tugs at all of your sensibilities as a human being. It reminds everybody of the extraordinary complexity of choices of war and what war does to people, to communities, two countries, to the world. Genie earlier today we spoke to our correspondent in tokyo, richard smart. I started by asking him how john kerrys visit is being received. the hiroshima globaltion explains that powers are now going to look to find conditions globally for denuclearization. But at the same time, a joint communique is being released that sets up the myriad of problems we face today, with refugees in syria, north korea, iraq, to name a few. Thatthat in mind, it seems declarationrization is diplomatic words and there is not anything going to be happening there. The mosthn kerry is senior american official to have gone to hiroshima since the attack of world war ii. What about president barack obama . There has been noise that he himself might be visiting hiroshima. Richard there have been reports over the weekend saying that the white house is considering this as an option, but given the Political Climate in the United States at the moment, i do not think we can 100 certainly say that there will be a visit from barack obama. The republican field would likely jump on this and condemn it. Donald trump, for example, as well as others, have gone on the it is a wayg that of Japan Nuclear rising, which is against the spirit of everything happening today. Even on the japanese side, there are several officials who say that any visit by obama would increase overseas scrutiny of japans record during world war ii, and its actions during world war ii. Perhaps still, i think, 60 41 what they will do. Genie in southern india, five people have been arrested went to a massive explosion at a temple the left more than 100 dead. Many are helping the hundreds more hurt from a blast of an illegal fireworks display. Our correspondent reports. On monday, a city tries to grapple with tragedy. Some 100 people were killed and temple400 injured at a where a firecracker fell onto a shed where fireworks were being stored. It was a really big festival at the temple. I had come here to stay with my family. We were having a good time, me, a brother, and his son, when fire broke out. My brother was hit in the head with a large piece of stone. Sparked a string of powerful explosions in the temple complex. Many had come to watch the Hindu Temples fireworks display, only to because in the inferno. A number of corpses are still waiting to be identified in the town morgues. The firery describes as shocking, beyond words. I have told the chief minister that the federal government will make arrangements immediately if the critically injured patients need transferred to mumbai, delhi, or somewhere else. Display wentrks ahead, even though local authorities had refused permission on safety grounds. The Regional Government has ordered a judicial inquiry into the disaster, and police have registered a criminal case against the temple authorities. Five temple workers have been detained for questioning, but no arrests have yet been made. Genie for the past 11 nights, the symbolic protesters of the movement known here as up all night. French police have evacuated someone or hundred demonstrators from that site, with authorities cleaning up the square and dismantling structures built by protesters. Their movement has spread to other towns and cities across france, and the activists could renew could resume their protests in paris as soon as monday evening. After the protests, the french Prime Minister went on to meet with some students from the massive student protest in recent weeks over the controversial proposed reforms to french labor laws. Those are aimed at bringing down frances 10 unemployment rate. Many students and unions are angry, saying the reform will cut back too many of the country passed cherished employee protections. Groups met with manuel valls today, where he conceded to some of the demands. James, tell us more about what exactly the Prime Minister gave, and did the students get what they wanted . the Prime Minister gave a plan with 11 points, which will cost 400 to 500 million euros. The four months will be the time that it takes for students to get a job. It is also more money for High School Students here in france. It is also universal health care, housing benefits in order for the students to be able to find flats. So basically a lot of help, and this is what the head of the Student University said. Positivee have had answers to most of our requests, so we are in the very pleased what frances Education Minister has called the third s planfrancois hollande as far as young people are concerned. Genie we were talking earlier about the up all night movement, determined to come back tonight and keep protesting. Our students determined to protest despite what they saw today at cap james not really. If you listen to the head of the students union, one of the main student unions in france, they were happy with these measures. He also said they did not change anything. This new labor law due to be passed in the weeks to come, he says it does not change conditions on that, so students will protest alongside workers unions on april 28, the next big protest scheduled in france. He does say that it will change form. It appears the student protests will probably no longer be staged. He said Bank Holidays are coming up and exams are coming up, and these initiatives would most certainly be downgraded or different. And appears things should be calmer in france, but this all night up movement, he says he is not responsible for them, but he thinks they are very useful in a good thing. Things, howo see things move on in the days to come.

Genie lets take a look at the International Papers and the Panama Papers. E Prime MinisterDavid Cameron is in the spotlight. Cameron leslie begrudgingly admitted he had shares in an offshore account. Now his government is under further embarrassment. The Government Department overseeing the 10 Million Pound investigation into the Panama Papers was previously part of the City Law Firm which advise the hedge fund run by David Camerons father. That was named in the league papers. For simmons and simmons before he joined the inil service in 20,004 2004. There is no evidence that he acted illegally, but it is still a bit of a headache.
