>>> this is al jazeera america. i'm randall pinkston. john seigenthaler is off. tonight the republicans debate for the last time before the super tuesday. the university of houston is tonight's debate. donald trump is the front runner. that after winning in new hampshire, south carolina and nevada. marco rubio and ted cruz, super tuesday could be a final chance for them to slow the billionaire businessman's past to the republican nomination. in tonight's debate marco rubio and ted cruz are expected to shrug it out, each trying to show voters why he is the best person to stop trump. ali velshi is live there tonight. ali. >> there were five. that is what is going to happen tonight. five people. we are looking at as you said what donald trump is going to do super tuesday has a lot of delegates at stake. donald trump is running ahead in almost all of them. 155 delegates are coming in from texas. you and i have been involved in media coverage for a long time. i want to give our viewers a flavour of what is going on in this room. this is the media room, filing room, aspen room. wh

. there was no mention of whether a consensus has been reached. john kerr sisi-- kerry says a deal is closer than ever. the government doesn't want the rebels to exploit a truce to re-arm appeared regroup and the opposition wants russian air strikes to stop and sieges to be lifted. they made their positions clear, but it is the u.s. and russia who are the main players. >> reporter: one of those details is the presence of the al-nusra front, fighters who are linked to al-qaeda. the u.n. designates it a terrorist organization but it fights beside some in the political process. excluding al-nusra on any deal will give russia the excuse of targeting rebel positions. a pause in the fighting the bring relief to the millions of people trapped in battleground but will not mean an end to the district. there are deep issues between the warring sides. >> the answer to the syrian civil war will not be found in any military alliance with bashar al-assad. let me make that clear. i am convinced it can be found in a broadly supported diplomatic initiative aimed at a negotiated political settlement wi

is the first line of defense. >> we have an exclusive story tonight. >> then at 8:00 - john seigenthaler brings you the top stories from across america. >> the question is, will these dams hold? >> and at 9:00 - >> i'm ali velshi, on target tonight... >> ali velshi on target. digging deeper into the issues that matter. >> i'm trying to get a sense for what iranians are feeling. >>> finally the u.s. election campaign has another 8 month to go. the two parties have not come close to choosing the nominees, and the number of televised debates is in double figures, accounting for more than 20 hours of air time. the candidates trade blows over policy, substance and in style. but one topic where they tend to find common ground is news media. shooting the messenger, slamming mainstream media for bias coverage may go down well with focus groups. all kind of media are doing it, producing a wealth of sound bites. we stepped up a few snippets of media bashing. you can see more of this between now and november. see you next time at the . >> let me say something at the outset. the questio

". >> but how sure can they be? fault lines travels to eastern congo to investigate. john kanyoni is the owner of a leading trading house in goma. he makes his living selling tin and tantalum to international companies. in 2010 he warned that the dodd- frank law would backfire... but he says he was up against a powerful lobby. >> imagine that you have angelina jolie at your door. you are a very big u.s. company, george clooney at your door saying you guys, you're the ones fueling the armed groups there. do you think that for the reputation of those companies they would be still sourcing from this region? they said ok we are stopping and that's what happened. >> soon after the law passed, companies took their business elsewhere. sales of tin ore from this province plummeted by more than 90%. >> ah the containers. >> that's the material ready to be exported. we are doing almost 2 containers while we used to do 8 containers per month. >> the only way john, or anyone in congo -- can now legally export to the u.s. is by opting into a system that traces the origin of the minerals. >> yes i

have the list, but i could go through the statements from prominent democrats like john kerry and hillary clinton who said things just as certain about the presence of w mds as anyone in the bush administration. i think to this day there's a lot of misconception about that because so many people believe that bush lied, people died. it's not true >>> lying is a different thing from whether-- >> he said bush lied. that is what i think generated the anger. as for 9/11 there is tons of blame to go around. you can't blame president bush alone just as you can't blame president clinton who was in office for eight years prior to the attacks. in the 9/11 commission report identified nine opportunities that the president had to aassassinate bin laden. there was a lack of communication between agencies which was generally, i think, fixed after the 9/11 commission came out with their study >>> a lot of this is not binary. it plots a transitional from white to grey to black. it is not pickable out to say this person knew better or should have knew better. >> we're still processing and we will

, john kasich up the rear, 7.7. ben carson is at 4.8%. a lot has been made about the so-called hunger games aspect of the south carolina race because one of these so-called establishment candidates is not going to be able to continue. the conventional wisdom has been wrong in the past, but given all the realities of modern campaigning particularly with regard to money, that some of these candidates are not going to last. lisa stark is at the ted cruz campaign and lisa you've been talking about the nature of the south carolina voting. you've been doing reporting over the last two days. it's a state where ignore anything will go. ted cruz has been accused of doctoring pictures, of marco rubio shaking hands with p.m. be that as it may. it has been a nasty back and forth, but sad to say it's somewhat typical of politics here in south carolina. >> absolutely. you know, this has been a war of words this week between donald trump particularly, marco rubio, also ted cruz, they've had a lot of name calling, as you say some of them accused of under handed and dirty politics and that is how it g

john kerry warning that it could be hard to hold syria together if there is no political solution to end the violence. the syrian council of human rights say over a quarter of a million people have been killed since the fight began five years ago. >> reporter: for many people this is the only emergency service they have. where is it, they shout. these with the white helmets. they're volunteer rescue workers. like everyone else in aleppo they spend a lot of their time looking up to borek out where the next bomb will fall. there isn't much of the city still standing >> translation: there were two families in this house. we pulled out four people. one woman died. >> reporter: the rocket passed through two buildings and exploded here. here, look, the syrian kids life continues. in spite of all the damage, they're still here. >> reporter: in aleppo most of the injuries are a result of syrian or russian bombings. this man says an aircraft dropped some bombs while he worked in an internet cafÉ. half his right leg was blown off. the medic says he is looking better. the russian government de

behind cruz and trump? >> i think they do because right now between the three of them john kasich, jeb bush and marco rubio, i don't think you can argue there's not much in it, but there is in the two versus the three and so i do think the establishment is fighting among itself and that's a different element >>> who do you think is the best g.o.p. candidate to take on either cruz or trump? >> i think casic has a great balance in washington, a very successful job-creating governor of ohio. i think if you had a john kasich marco rubio ticket, that would be good but right now, the belief in a trump cruz ticket, i think that could be an interesting combination. the thing that as the establishment of the republican party is uncomfortable with what is going on, if you look across the fence at the democrat party, there is a lot of reason for republicans to be comforted. hillary clinton, the presumptive nominee, has all kind of trust problems. she is potentially an indictment. she has lost women and youth voters and you have joe biden out there and certainly mayor bloomberg is nosing arou

. on mexicans: >> they are bringing drugs. they are bringing crime. they are rapists. >> on john mccain >> he is out of touch. he is a wore hero because he was captured. i like people that weren't captured. >> on his own campaign. >> i could stand in the middle of 5th avenue and shoot somebody and i wouldn't lose any voters. okay? >> very few people in washington predicted the rise of trump. >> could be in large part because unlike the rest of the country degree, the capitol region wasn't impacted as much by the great recession. houses still have value and wages are still high. >> if you are from a community of color, if you only have a high school education, if you come from a rust-belt region, if you used to work in manufacturing, things have been really tough and they haven't gotten that much better for you. >> at this cafe, negroni is surrounded by people who have started over after losing jobs and income to the recession. she says she understands why people are angry? >> i would like to punch him in the face. >> she doesn't understand how these are the candidates she has to

, doubled the result of the second-place finisher, john kasich, dropped the supposedly surging marco rubio into 3rd and pushed carly fiorina out of the race. bernie sanders won, as was expected, but by a thumping big margin, and among almost every group of voters, what's next? it's the "inside story". welcome to "inside story". i'm ray suarez. new hampshire has a way of shaking up a young race. john kerry beating howard dean in 2004, ben carson's win in 1992, saving his campaign after he got a thumping in iowa. and john mccain in 2000, over george w. bush. last night did things, confirmed donald trump's place, and chased carly fiorina out and may be sending chris christie back to new jersey. it cast doubt on marco rubio's theory of how to run for the republican nomination. there was heavy turnout on the republican side, healthy but not record-breaking turnout on the democratic side. we'll start this edition of "inside story" in where else, in new hampshire with aljazeera's libby casey. >> because of a uge voter turnout, and i say uge, we won. >> reporter: in concord, new hampshire, democra

caucus. i'm john siegenthaler in new york. tonight, the first contest of the 2016 presidential race. an important night for republicans and democrats. this is a live look at a caucus at drake university in des moines. there has been a lot of talk about the polls. soon we'll find out if the polls were actually right. my coanchor ali velshi is in des moines with the view on the ground, ali? ♪ >> -- we're still counting votes the old way, but they are going to be transmitted to the state parties a little bit differently. precinct captains will have an app on their phone, as long as they count correctly, they can relay the votes correctly. you'll remember the last time around, iowa went on for hours and hours and hours. there were missing ballots, and people had to phone in the results. well that is supposed to end tonight. there is a paper and pen backup, but the good news that we should have, at least fiefficient counting. the big numbers probably will take a couple of hours, john. >> ali your audio was off in the beginning. explain where you are tonight. >> i'm at the microsoft media c

sanders and john kasich early wins. new hampshire says the vote will likely top the high mark set in 2008. al jazeera joins us now from manchester, new hampshire, so mike, how unpredictable is this primary? >> number one the polls are notoriously unreliable. there are so many changes in voter behavior, even the way they contract voters and number two effort's almost become a stereotype. with an independent streak, not making up their mind, and to the last minute, and there are indications that there is plenty of significant number of voter whose are undecided. perhaps until they enter the voting booth and press the lever. if the prevoting polled are to be believed, donald trump will run away with this thing, and likely bernie sanders. and the last hour, we talks about how it is shaping up republicans. if you look at the democrats, hillary clinton ran here in 2008, after losing in iowa, to barack obama, but then senator hillary clinton coming back and winning in new hampshire, she has the endorsement of a lot of political leaders from this state and else where, and yet bernie sanders

thinks john kasich has gotten much traction in nevada. he is not there. he's been under pressure this week to move out of the race and leave room. not likely to happen. >> not likely to happen. you mentioned john kasich not here, and marco rubio not here. donald trump and ted cruz are here. just to go back to the last question, stopped by caucus sites that you don't hear happening. let's talk about john kasich. he views himself as the candidate. he says i'm the one that can bring harmony to the race. the notion that republicans are saying get out of the way, cleared race, jed bush is gone. ceding some support. so, too, should john kasich be gone. he's the governor of ohio, and the former chairman of the budget committee, he doesn't take know for an answer. he hoped they'd clear the techs where they spent the least amount of money. why would he clear the techs, they ought to consolidate. he has a point, it's march 16th, and he knows that no republican won the presidency without winning ohio. >> vasil shkurtaj in los angeles. we'll see what's. >> the two candidates vying for the democra

cheat on their lives. let's not forget john edwards, who we love on the left, who cheated on his dying wife. we didn't discredit elizabeth edwards. president. standard. let's call it would it is. >> the standard against some. so many times the american public is so frustrated when they see the choices of the people they had to vote for saying why wouldn't everyone run for office, if we examine everyone's private lives for death, how will be get good candidates to run for office. >> i want to separate the issue of inifiedality and conduct in use of agenda terms. if we made fidelity the test, morality matters, it's an issue that should be looked at. we would invalidate the president. founders. and use it against them. >> is hillary clinton participating. is she working to silence the critics of her husband. >> that is what we do. it is problematic. it's a ploy on the right to neutralize her ability to talk about the fact if she was elected she'd be the first woman president. the way the discrediting argument goes, she's no fan. that's a credible argument at the level of policy, i don't t

this attack was a very power and international leader by the name of han john. he was in front of police headquarters this morning when high suicide attacker approached on motorbike and detonated his explosive. 11 people killed, 40 people injured. that number could go up in the coming hours. nobody has claimed responsibility for this attack, but the province is an area where the taliban have long fought government forces as well aspro government forces. this-- as pro-government forces. this begins as the government is trying to establish some sort of peace and security by talks. the peace talks will resume within the first week of march. however, it is these types of attacks that indicate that at least some factions of the insurgency have no plans to stop fighting >>> at least 14 people have been killed in a suspected al-shabab attack in a hotel in somalia. police say a car bomb exploded at the entrance of the syl hotel in mogadishu. three attackers were killed. >> translation: i heard a huge explosion next to our building. a blast shattered the windows causing me to loose conscie

it's hillary clinton or john case, is there a limit in all of this that voters are angry of jobs disappearing. they are angry about corporate greed, and that is something that could skate a general election even if they are part november. >> absolutely. whoever the nom knees will be, they realise they'll have to address the vota discontent and cease the issues. i say time and again, no matter what anyone says about the economy, it's not correct me if i'm wrong. they have 62-63%. back to the levels of worth years, that means na nearly 40% of people able to work for participate may not participate. 25% that's a significant number. these are people that are angry. they are considering among the working. they are not working full time, do not have benefits and are not happy. whoever the nominees are, they'll have to focus on happiness, talk about ways to fix it. >> joel good of you to join us. we appreciate it. >> coming up. it's apple versus the fbi case of privacy versus security and housing outcomes affecting you, up. >>> in an emotionally charged case of security versus privacy a

congress? >> republicans are already reacting. we heard from the likes of john mccabe, of course a note worthy voice on armed services issues foreign policy, he says that this plan, the president has put out. he didn't find enough concrete details in it. now the president's hands are tied because he is preventing from going forward with his administration, and making plans. we also heard resistence today, from some of the senators who represent where the pent upon has been scouting out prisons. like south carolina, and colorado, and cost ction and we heard from the top rem in the senate mitch mcconnell. >> we will review the plan, but since it includes dangerous terrorists he should know the will of congress is already been expressed against that proposal. >> interesting to hear that the republican leader is invoking this opinion just like the president. they have very different opinions about the will of both congress and the american people. now republicans are loathe to go forward for a couple of reasons. one, they say they believe this fundamental security risk to bring the guantana

. >>> the u.s. secretary of state john kerry is describing a catastrophe in syria not seen since world war ii. john kerry has been speaking at a conference in rome about a fighting isil, a conference involving 23 other nations. >> the situation on the ground for the syrian people is unfathomable. we haven't seen away catastrophe like this since world war ii and it's unfolding before our eyes. people in madaya eating leaves and grass or animals of one type or another that they can capture. >> we expect to hear from from john kerry in the next few minutes. diplomats have been meetinging rome to discuss the threat of isil in syria, iraq and libya, the press conference due to start in the next few minutes. we will bring it to you live here. let's bring in hasham in rome. tell us about this coalition against isil in iraq and syria. >> the gathering here in rome is an opportunity for the international coalition against isil to look into the progress mailed in the fight against isil but also the areas where more has to be done. this is exactly why kerry today was talking more about the humanitari

obama applauded the handiwork of his secretary of state john kerry, congressional republicans deplored it with slashing rhetoric that suggested the obama administration had been duped, was enabling terrorism, funding a renegade government, and endangering israel. 47 republican senate remembers sent a letter to iran's leader promising no support. the deal went on to become a talk point in stump speeches and candidate's debates in the republican presidential primary with a unanimous conclusion. >> i have been doing deals for a long time. i have been making lots of wonderful deals, great deals. that's what i do. never ever ever in my life have i seen any transaction so incompetently negotiated as our deal with iran. [ cheers and applause ] >> and i mean never. >> this iranian nuclear deal is catastrophic. it is the single greatest national security threat facing america. >> now that the deal is about eight months old and some steps needed to be taken by all parties, and a final meeting in vienna, how is it going? are the iranians doing what they promised to do? have the other sig

to the conference, john kerry addressed that scepticism by expressing how critical it is to make the cessation of hostilities work. >> this conflict will still require a political solution at some point in time in order to make peace, no matter what happens. this is the most. this is a hinge point decision. decisions made in the coming days and week and few months could end the war in syria or it could define a very difficult set of choices for the future >> reporter: quite how difficult is becoming clear this weekend in munich. the french prime minister has accused the russians of bombing civilians in syria, an allegation endorsed by the u.s. government. the russian prime minister has said comments like these are making his country feel increasingly isolated. >> translation: one could go as far as to say we have slid back to a new cold war, almost on an every day basis we are called a threat to nato or to europe or the u.s. >> reporter: the russians stress that they have national interests in syria and that they have no secret agenda. they have repeatedly denied that they're bombing

court is an originalist, but what was fascinating was that toward the end of his term, justice john paul stevens, who was not an original lift when he went on the bench began to write opinions in which he tried to counter scalia with historical evidence from the period of the founding. it was quite a remarkable shift on the part of justice stevens, and scalia welcomed the combat. it has to be said scalia usually won if you mean by winning, get the five votes. >> let's go back to 1986 when he was nominated by president ronald reagan. why was he nominated? what was his appeal back then? >> well, he had been a defendant loyal foot soldier both for president ford and for president reagan in the office of legal counsel and other high offices. he had been put on the d.c. circuit. i have -- one heres that the attention of reagan and other top officials was caught by tthe by the pickiness of his opinions and throughout his career, scalia's opinions, no matter how technical the issue might be would always contain paragraphs and phrases that ordinary people could understand and relate to so t

senate. a few weeks ago john roberts the chief justice of the supreme court said it was a shane that people who were good candidates were voted down in political fights. no-one was looking whether they would stand by the constitution or whether they were very good jurists, but looking at their political bent and stance on social political issues. now the senate will be under the spotlight to see whether or not, first of all, if obama can appoint someone who is well qualified who would meet the support of many, many people on both sides of the party and who can get through. i suspect that that is a three-bar test that not every single one of his suggestions might pass >>> thank you very much. a public policy professor joins us. how do you think mr scalia will be remembered? >> as a staunch conservative and someone who really set the tone for conservatives on the supreme court and they want more justices exactly like him >>> what are the chances do you think that an appointment will be made in this very important election year given the back story about the republicans and what we susp

huge lead >>> ohio governor john kasich had a standing room crowd telling them this we ought to stop yelling in the republican party. this state has a reputation of being rough and tumble, and this primary is no exception. >> republicans duke it out in the first in the south contest. one day after his brother president george w. bush campaigned on his behalf. jed appeared outside a gun manufacturer to make his case for the presidency. >> i have a proven record of electability. >> reporter: he spoke about having his older brother stump for him. >> he is a person of integrity. it's great that he game. it made a difference. >> the man that leads in the polls, donald trump came out swinging, going after the record and doubling down on criticism of the former president. >> what about during 9/11, i was there, i lost a lot of friends killed this that building. the worst attack ever in this countries was during his presidency. >> ted cruz aimed. >> i never saw anyone lie as much as ted cruz. trump threatened to sue cruz, accusing him of lying about gun traditions and gun right. >> operating

secretary of state in the cruz administration would be someone like john bolton, would be someone who is strong, who defends this country, who stands by your allies and stands up to our enemies. >> that's senator ted cruz earlier this past week touting who he would like to see as his secretary of state. as if race narrows many are wondering what will the foreign affairs teams look like? donald trump is willing to release the list of his foreign afargs teams would look like. let's go to an analyst. what should we look for when it comes to the advisers, the so-called wise men and women that have characteristics that we should look for on the foreign i have fares teams as the names are announced? >> i think the secretary of state and some of the other top names have to be people who can argue and advocate effectively for american interests around the world and who fully understand the new president's policy direction. i think this really separates the republican party from the democratic party because which ever candidate ultimately gets the republican nomination is going to have policies t

in the results, then you are going to see jeb bush, perhaps john kasich if he does well, think they can solder on if they think rubio is beatable. if the trend that we saw before the debate continues, he consolidates himself into a strong second place, it's going to be more difficult for some other candidates to continue. >> is it hard for each candidate to decide for themselves what doing well means? >> that's the spin, but not the reality. financial support or money is the mother's milk for campaign. and the truth of the matter is, if you do well in new hampshire, the support is going to continue financially. and with marco rubio, cruz, and even trump, after the iowa caucuses you saw a spike in levels of financial support, not just in public support. if you do not do well you are not going to get that support, and you be as determined and spin as well as you want. you place seventh in new hampshire, your days are numbered. >> the latest polls all show a similar pattern in this case, rich, of trump out ahead, and within the margin of error, the bunch of other also rands. >> and tho

have victory, we will change that >>> we have two correspondents in iowa, john hendren in newton, but first to kimberley halkett. she is in demoyne. this is an uncertain caucus that we have seen, a great deal riding on this for the frontrunners. >> indeed. all eyes are focusle on it. here is the headline in the demoyne register. it's a paper that everyone looks to and gives an endorsement to hillary clinton. you can't forget what is happening. the caucus set to start in three hours. it's firm on time. people must be na place. doors are open and that's the only opportunity to get in. that's why the candidates all day have been campaigning very hard, trying to get the voters to come out. it comes down to whether or not the supporters show up. we know that not only trump and others in the republican fields, but on the democratic side hillary clinton, and bernie sanders hitting the ground game, trying to meet as many voters as possible over the weekend. hillary clinton went to the homes of her campaign of 125,000 iowa. bernie sanders in the neighbourhood of 75,000. it's important that the

homs, that's on the same day john kerry said a ceasefire was closer than it had ever been. the u.s. secretary of state was in jordan and he said that washington and moscow have made a plan for a pause in fighting, which could begin in the coming days. zeina hodor has the latest. >> it was an attack in the heart of homs, the government held city in central syria. two near simultaneous explosions killed and injured dozens, many women and children. the neighborhood is the same sect as president bashar al assad. it has seen similar attacks in the past, but sunday's bombing is being described as the worst. over the years, the government has managed to regain control of much of the city from the opposition but bombings like these are a reminder that a military solution won't end the war. there seems to be progress towards a truce. >> we have reached a provisional agreement in principle on the terms of the cessation of hostilities that could begin in the coming days. it is not yet done and i anticipate that our presidents, president obama and president putin tin may speak somewhere in the

this point with 17% reporting. jeb bush now at 8% and close on his tail is john kasich who is also around 8%. stay with us. in the meantime we're keeping a live look at the trump headquarters. we're waiting for mr trump to come out and address the crowd and if it has been like any of his other speeches he has made, you know this one will be firy and we have no idea what to expect from him. we're also keeping an eye on the ted cruz event there in south carolina. ted cruz in a heated battle now for the second place and the shock of the night is that in annie van jel kgel kal-- an evangelical state like there. stay with us. stay with us. >>> welcome back to our special coverage. we're waiting for donald trump to speak at what has become a victory party for him in south carolina. thanks for staying with us. i'm adam may. our correspondent is with us in south carolina tonight. >> the results continue to roll in here. a jubilant donald trump headquarters. so much of this is about perception. donald trump fulfilling expectations, yes, he is run away with the election, something like 34%,

captured 31 villages in the north from isil. the u.s. secretary of state john kerrrk is saying he has reached an agreement with russia on the terms of a cease-fire in syria. zeina has more and a warning that you may find some images disturbing. >> multipleplosions and just hours apart in two government controlled districts in syria. the mainly shia district, the other, mainly allowhite neighborhood in central syria. in those incidence civilians were killed and injured and in both neighborhoods, communities who are considered supporters of the government were targeted. both districts have seen similar attacks in the past. a clear challenge to the government and its ability to security territory under it's control. the multiple explosions coincide with what appears to be progress towards a truce. we have reached a professional agreement in principle on the terms of the cessation of hostilities that could begin in the coming days. it is not yet done, and i anticipate that our presidents, president obama and president putin may we will speak switch in the next days or so in order to t
