Idlib. And the u. S. City of baltimore wakes up to a state of emergency after violent protests over another black life lost allegedly at the hands of the police. We will have more on her to stories in just a moment but first some breaking news on al jazeera. We have a report that iran has taken control of a u. S. Vessel which is now being escorted back to iran. Lets bring up alan fisher who is live in washington, d. C. For us. What is the world in washington alan . Reporter the details are just merging. This american cargo vessel was escorted by Iranian Security forces to an iranian port. The iranians allege it had breached iranian territorial waters. There are unconfirmed reports that a number of shots were fired, and then the boat was asked to follow the iranians back to port. Its my understanding that the vessel is u. S. Registered but of the 34 crew there are no americans on board. This may be a very simple breach of navigation rules. It may be something more than that, but obviously it needs some inquiry by the iranian authorities. The pentagon are aware, the white house has been informed. The americans are obviously trying to find out as many details as they can. But what we know is that a koor go vessel, which is american registered but with no americans on board, 34 crew members is alleged to have breached iranian territorial waters. The Security Services asked the vessel to accompany it to an iranian port and that is what is happening at the moment. Thank you very much indeed. They are cold. They are wet, and they are homeless. Thousands of people in nepal are starting yet another night in tents or even out in the open after saturdays devastating earthquake. Were getting reports that up to 200 people are now missing after an avalanche and mud slide. The United Nations says the rains are making the search and rescue mission even more difficult. Time is running out for many of those still trapped beneath the rubble. These hours are crucial. Rescue experts say people can only survive about three days without food and water. Well jamie is the United Nations resident coordinator in nepal, he says the rescue and relief efforts are going well but there are problems. There are many internationals coming to support the effort. On the broader terms there are relief items coming in but the airport is quite congested. It is quite limited in terms of capacity so the result of that has been a bit of an impediment. But what we have to do is get to the most affected areas, the epicenters of the earthquake. We hope the after shocks will stop, because rain has kicked in making an already difficult situation much more severe. There will be large contingent of people who will not be able to go back home because of their houses being destroyed or unsafe. There have been there has been trouble getting relief aid to the areas affected by this earthquake. Phil has more now from kathmandu. Reporter kathmandu, international airport, the only way in or out of nepal since saturdays quake. Those that survived are finding their way there. Many have been waiting for days.

It was very raining last night. So we have been able to stay dry actually with that tent. Reporter while they try to leave, search and rescue teams arrive with their dogged. It depends on the situation, because sometimes the people or the recue team possibility to drink and ate, and its possible to wait for ten days but if dont have drink, two days only more or less. Reporter on the other side of the capitol, these are the lucky ones. They survived but havent eaten for days until now. Charities are stepping into the breach. Lines of people displaced by saturdays quake are fed. Its their only source of food. They have lost everything. Scenes like this are common across kathmandu. People continue to dig. Many volunteers joining in the rescue operation, trying to find the remains of their homes or people buried. Back at the airport, planes are arriving all the time. Its working at full capacity. The authorities are giving the military the priority to run across the quake zone and rescue survivors. But the lack of space means only a certain number of planes can land. With many roads into nepal badly damaged the rescue effort is vital. The first view days are important to get rescue teams in to try to find survivors in the outlying areas.

We spoke with some journalists who said they saw the youth group, and they said they saw them fighting with protesters and they said they apprehended them and tried to take their equipment, but they managed to get away. There hasnt been any direct comment from the government about this. But the police chief did hold a press conference and said some people were spreading rumors that were deliberately intended to cause fear. And make people leave the country. Over 20,000 already have. And those people clearly are expecting the worst ahead of junes president ial election. Returning now to the earthquake in nepal, and the countrys rich history has been devastated by this earthquake. Centuries old temples now lie in pieces. The u. N. s Cultural Organization as described the damage as extensive ander irreversible. This is 1020 and this is how it looks now. The square was home to nepals royal family until the 19th century. This is another queue of the square and you can see the ninestory tower on the right, and you can see how its top tiers have been toppled. The media estimates that 80 of the temples in the square have been destroyed. And this is the square in historic temple town in the kathmandu valley. Unesco says it is sending a team to assess the damage from the earthquake. Now for the United Nations and other agencies this earthquake in nepal could not have come at a worse time. The organization specializing in this disaster Risk Response is stretched thin. Lets take a look at how serious the situation is currently. There are humanitarian emergencies in south sudan, the countries affected by ebola, and in the middle east. 15 relief agencies worldwide are appealing for almost 9 billion combined to address these crises. They have a funding gap of 15 billion. Take the situation in syria, for example, humanitarian agencies say they need 4. 5 billion dollars this year to care for basic needs. To talk more about this lets bring in a form United Nations deputy special representative for afghanistan. He is live from boston in the United States. Thank you very much for being with us on al jazeera. So we have a very strained humanitarian relief system here and the problem seems to be as i understand it not a lack of effort but a lack of donations, that funds are drying up. Well i think thats right. The United Nations does not have its own budget. It doesnt have any power to tax or raise money. So it depends on assessed contributions from members, and for relief activities on voluntary donations, and there are a relatively small number of countries that make these donations, the United States the european union, canada japan is one of the biggest, some others china, with the secondlargest economy in the world contributes relatively little. And these countries have a finite capacity. They have domestic needs and the humanitarian need just gets larger and larger. As you say these traditional dooreoreor r donors is it the case they cant donate anymore . And also why isnt. There sort of like a kitty money in preparation for such disasters . Why isnt there a fund that is dedicated to disasters . Well first these countries can donate more. Its just difficult to get Public Opinion to support foreign relief activities. But that said the needs you cited 20 billion for economies the size of the United States europe and japan, is not that much. Some have suggested there ought to be a fund set aside for emergencies, thats not very practical. Because imagine there might have been a billion dollars sitting in the bank that might have been able but everybody would be criticizing the u. N. For not spending it on syria. Is it easier to raise money for Natural Disaster like the one in nepal, rather than for a civil war . Absolutely. First, nepal is a country its not a place that has had a lot of violence in recent years. A lot of people have visited, have good memories of it associated with mount everest, but when you have a Natural Disaster, thats a finite problem, so you can deal with the immediate humanitarian needs, water and food medical supplies. You can help people rebuild their homes, and then its over. So you can solve International Aid can really help solve the problem. But when you have a civil war like the one in syria that has now been dragging on for four years, no end in sight, and there is donor fatigue in those situations. Thank you so much for your time. Now security has been stepped up in the u. S. City of baltimore, following protests that turned violent overnight. Riots started after the funeral of a black man who was injured in Police Custody, and later died of a spinal chord injury. His family have called for an end to the violence. Sheehab, you were of course in baltimore last night when the violence broke out. Tell us first about the scene there this morning. What is the mood like . Reporter were outside that pharmacy that became an icon of the unrest last night, it was set alight. Today there are people with brooms sweeping up afterwards. Just behind me in the last hour or so a large rank of police in riot gear dispersed. There is helicopter activity above us. But it is all very peaceful and calm and its all about healing at the moment. Were expecting various announcements and statements from officials. President obama is to address what happened in baltimore in the next 45 minutes or so when we talks to the press with the japanese Prime Minister. Call for parents to keep more control of their kids. And that really gets to the heart of how this all began yesterday. And the questions that perhaps arent being asked is whether it was really necessary for the Baltimore Police to gather en masse, in full riot gear at the end of the school day, when the schools let out their kids and the kids had no way, really to go because they shut down all of the buses. And thats when the standoff began, and things escalated. So one really has to look at the roots of what we saw. This wasnt mass gang violence. This was a bunch of High School Kids who were suddenly cornered by a bunch of Security Forces a mile away or so. I guess the other main question that isnt being asked is why is it that when we see flairups it tends to be in areas of extreme poverty and areas where there is a history of police abuse. Yesterday was pretty violent, but there have been protests leading up to feddy greys funeral on monday and the events around his arrest still remain unclear to this day. Reporter yeah and there is going to be another protest today in about three and a half hours maybe, continuation of the daily protests which were called off during the funeral and burial and remembrance of freddy grey over the weekend. Those High School Students did ignore that call from the parents not to hold a rally. But they were kids and they were saying look lets do something. There is also a peace march planned at 5 00. And yes, we still dont know what happened to freddy grey. He was in Police Custody for 45 opinion minutes, and that was enough time for him to have a smashed voice box, and 80 of his spine severed. For those deprived areas of baltimore, which frankly dont make the headlines most of the time. They only get
