Time is running out to reach them. Erdogan is reporter its a scene of devastation. This is gore cut is ghorka. Officials said the damage is greatest in places where traditional building practices were most common. Kathmandu was also affected. I nearly 200yearold tower was a nearly 200yearold tower was destroyed. Thats nothing compared to the effect that the quake had on the people of nepal. As the death toll continues to climb, rescue workers are trying to reach those buried beneath earth and rubble. Often, it is recovery rather than rescue. Here soldiers pulled the body of a young girl from underneath a collapsed house. In a church we found 13 bodies here in a church, we found 13 bodies.

For more on that, we spoke with the founder of himalayan crossroads an organization that brings medical experts around the world to nepal. We asked her what affects the aftershocks are having on rescue efforts. Community members have come together. Those who have any open space lawn space have opened their doors to neighbors. People have occupied every single open Space Available around the city, which is not much. People are basically pouring out onto the streets intersections any tiniest bit of open Space Available. They are placing themselves there. Those who can are opening their doors and providing shelter. I think about half an hour ago i was with friends and family members. You are feeling optimistic and having good thoughts we were feeling optimistic and having good thoughts, but we are continuously terrorized by the aftershocks. I think for the next week or so, it will be managing our trauma getting ourselves more stabilized. The base feeling is that we will be able to come together and get ourselves out of this trauma and slowly moved towards a path of reconstruction and recovery. Brian thanks so much. Laila the epicenter of the earthquake was located on one of the world pass major faultlines the worlds major faultlines. The force of the quake reached to the worlds highest mountains, triggering even more destruction. Brian the video shows how an avalanche buried the base camp filled with climbers. [indistinct shouts] no [speaking foreign language] laila some harrowing footage. Mountaineering legend Peter Habeler is an authority on nepal and its people. In 1978, he and Reinhold Messner became the very first people to scale Mount Everest it out supplemental oxygen. He has also set many other climbing records. He has criticized what people are beginning to call a t woclass rescue system in nepal. I asked him whether he thought the wrong priorities were being set in the rescue efforts that are currently underway. Peter somehow, i do believe and i went to you why normally people are walking towards the mountain. Normally, these people climb the mountain or maybe they dont climb the mountain, and they return back on foot. Recently, in recent days, it is a habit that people flying to base camp, they do the mountain, climb the mountain or dont climb the mountain, and fly back out. If we talk about this big, huge stretch, if i hear anybody im not there. I read the newspapers. The newspapers tell me many helicopters were used to get the people off the mountain. What the . The helicopters should rather take the people who are in the villages or who are really poor. This is what i think about the rescues, which i dont think is correct. Laila in your opinion, mr. Habeler, you think the helicopters that are currently evacuating the climbers that are stuck should instead be used to help the people of nepal . Peter exactly. You just said it. We have this big thing on everest, the avalanche, so there are dead people. But i think the helicopters would be much more useful to get out the people who are hurt badly hurt, in a really terrible situation. And the climbers should be able to walk back down from the mountain. They should be able to go down to base camp and wherever. I think this is not right, but, of course, the money comes in. Everybody on everest they are injured. The helicopter agencies kno the moneyw will be paid immediate agencies know the money will be paid immediately. If they rescue a farmer or sherpa in a village, they will never get the money. The agency will never get the money. Im very sad about this situation. Laila mr. Habeler, you sketched a very twotier system that is very dire and rheumatic. You know and dramatic. You know nepal very well. What has this Natural Disaster meant for nepal and its people . Peter its terriblepeter pe ter its terrible. Im still in shock. Nepal is my second home. I love the people there people who have hardly anything. Whether we talk about the sherpas, the people in the mountain villages, the valleys. People in coffman to in that men do people in kathmandu. The forest people the poorest people nepal is a fantastic country. Beautiful people. Really nice people. The rescue worldwide is taking place and i do hope, of course nobody knows how long it will take, it will be later than sooner, the situation will get not normal, but fair. Laila Peter Habeler mountaineering legend. Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts with us. Brian in other news today european leaders say they will not be sending peacekeeping troops to Eastern Ukraine. Laila the response comes as Eu Commission president Jeanclaude Juncker and the European Council president were in kiev for a summit with top ukrainian officials. Despite denying peacekeeping assistance, the top eu diplomats did promise president Petro Poroshenkos government a boost in humanitarian aid. While staying with Eastern Ukraine, there are reports here in germany that berlin was well aware of the risks of flying over the region when passenger flight mh1 was down mh17 was downed last year. Brian just before it was down, the German Intelligence Agency told the government that the airspace over Eastern Ukraine was not safe, and that warning should have triggered flihtght path. This is where mh17 came down last year. Investigators are still trying to figure determine who brought it down. A team of german journalists say berlin had intelligence about the dangers two days before the crash. Separatists had boasted of shooting down Ukrainian Military cargo planes shooting down a Ukrainian Military cargo plane. The Intelligence Service warned that the airspace over ukraine wasnt safe. Experts say this should have raised red flags. It meant that passenger planes were not safe either. In a case like this, where intelligence cables clearly show there is a serious threat to security i believe the government had a responsibility to alert the airline and to make sure that the plane was redirected. Reporter but the German Government did not do that. In fact, on the day flight mh17 crashed, three planes belonging to lufthansa also flew over the war zone. So far, the German Government has refused to comment. The transport Ministry Says it had no information about the security situation. Brian more news from the Intelligence Agency, the bnd here in germany. Germany a german newspaper is reporting that the Chancellors Office has known since 2008 that American Economic espionage was targeting major European Countries like airbus, but did nothing in response. Laila the paper cites Intelligence Agency documents insiders documents and quotes insiders. The National Security agency spied on German Companies with the help of germanys very own Intelligence Service, the bnd. Reporter it is now beyond doubt that u. S. Intelligence spied on western european businesses as well as their governments. When did germanys for insult germanys foreign Intelligence Service find out, and when was chancellor merkel informed . Opposition politicians are outraged. The bundesliga and the bnd caught up in the biggest intelligence scandal germany has ever seen. Even the government is talking about 40,000 infringements. This is about real cases of industrial and political espionage. Reporter you get the sense that the left you get the sense that the left hand doesnt know what the right hand is doing. The bnd has a life of its own. Reporter on the fringes of talks in warsaw, chancellor Angela Merkel broke her silence in characteristically blunt fashion. Chancellor merkel we made it clear in last weeks press release that there are shortcomings. We listed those problems in the statement, and now we have to get to the bottom of them. Reporter these revelations present a host of questions, but the answers on offer are vague at best. Another reason for the bundestags inquiry to take an even closer look at u. S. Espionage activities. Brian when we come back, the story of some russian bikers on the way to berlin. They just cant get here. Laila dont go anywhere. We will have that story. Reporter refugees hope, europes challenge. The stream of refugees from africa is not letting up. What are the causes, and how the how should the European Union respond .

Russia is demanding the next from poland after polish authorities denied entry to a russian biker club who were on their way to berlin to mark the soviet victory over the nazis 70 years ago next week. Brian now the 10man convoy has been at the center of a brewing political storm with the polish Prime Minister calling them a provocation. The russian Ministry Says that warsaw has reacted inappropriately to a noble cause. Reporter its the end of the road for the night wolves, their victory ride cut short. Authorities here say that the dozen or so nationalistic russians cannot continue. It is a stark contrast to saturdays parade, when thousands of supporters gathered in moscow to see the bikers off. 6000 kilometer ride in honor of the red armys role in defeating nazi comments nazi germany. They did not all have valid visas to enter the shenzhen zone. Their leaders seemed determined. It will be more than just 20 people. 30,000 polish bikers have expressed their solidarity with us. Reporter the prokremlin bikers had a number of vip supporters like russian president vladimir putin. United by their love of country and motorcycles, as this video from 2011 shows. Many western governments see the rally as a provocation. The German Foreign ministry has pledged to make sure the night make it to berlin night wolves wont make it to berlin. The polish bikers eagerly awaiting the rest of the pack on the other side of the border were naturally disappointed. Is a very big shame that some its a very big shame that some bikers are trying to come to berlin and they are making such a big problem. They behave as if the third world war just started. Reporter the russian biker club was founded in the former soviet union in 1999 1989. Hundreds of members would race through the streets of moscow at night, hence their name. Now, whether they will stay true to their nocturnal traditions and cross into the eu secretly under the cover of darkness remains to be seen. Brian it is one of the most urgent problems facing the European Union what to do about the thousands of migrants trying to reach europe. Laila germany says new efforts will focus on refugees fleeing conflict in syria and iraq. Berlin will send manpower to italy and greece to help register migrants. Brian just today, italian authorities rescued 274 migrants in the mediterranean. The coast guard ship came to their rescue about 40 nautical miles off of the libyan coast line.

He still wears the id bracelet given to him by the italian authorities when he arrived in sicily. He and a friend spent 14 months working on Building Sites in the libyan capital, tripoli, under appalling conditions, saving up for the crossing to italy. They are very wicked people. If you are a black man, they dont respect you. They treat you like a dog. Reporter his story chimes with other migrant experiences. They talk of ruthless people smugglers with little regard for their human cargo. They send the migrants over at any time, in any weather, whatever the conditions are at sea. Reporter despite the dangers the migrants keep coming desperate to reach europe. No one incivility in sicily believes that setting up Processing Centers in libya will change that. These people cant just wait there forever. They still want to come to europe. They definitely dont want to go home, otherwise they wouldnt have fled in the first place. Reporter police are skeptical that a solution will be found quickly. Last year alone, this officer arrested nearly 200 human traffickers. But the masterminds are out of reach in libya. The people smugglers obviously dont want us to catch them. Thats why they often higher migrants often hire migrants to paddle the fishing boats across the mediterranean. Reporter investigators files run to hundreds of pages. Even when smugglers are caught, they often get off with threeyour sentences while there threeyear sentences while their bosses in libya remain at large.

President obama is trying to put the doubters at ease by highlighting the trade and Growth Potential that the tpp is supposed to bring about. President obama the Current Situation is not working for us. I dont know why folks would be opposed to opening up the japanese market more to u. S. Autos and u. S. Beef. It doesnt make any sense.
