>> this is al jazeera america. live from new york city, i'm richelle carey. with a look at today's top stories. invitation for iran to join the peace talks on syria start a boycott on the whole thing? we're settle to hear about that now. nuclear work the u.s. began to ease sanctions. why the hunt is on for as many as four women dubbed black

widows. the governor in west virginia asked if he drinks the water in his state, he answers "occasionally." is this a health concern? >> the peace talks to end syria's wawsyria's war could fat even before they begin. the u.n. secretary-general, ban ki-moon, invited iran to attend on wednesday. but the syria coalition says it will not attend unless that is withdrawn. intense negotiations are underway right now and we expect to hear more from the u.n. really any moment now. john terrett is at the u.n. is there any word of when we can

hear from ban ki-moon whether in fact, iran is uninvited? >> we know that invitation which caused ban ki-moon such delight yesterday, he was so pleased the have extended that invitation all fell apart. causing him much angst. pretty much uninviting iran is the only action. the 2 talks starting in geneva on tuesday, they won't go if the iranianiranians turn up, and th. saying we can't have them there unless they agree with the communique from geneva 1, to instruct a transitional government that doesn't involve bashar al-assad the current leader of syria.

whatever it turns out to be either a press conference or press statement either read by him or one of his spokespeople. samantha power is what she says is the u.s. view of what's going on right now. >> as of this morning, iran has still to demonstrate its willingness to explicitly and publicly subscribe to the full implementation of the geneva communique. that is a minimum requirement for participation in this peace process. >> on the other hand vitaly cherkin is the long time communicator. he says look, not only should tehran come but anybody who might be able to help, come. take a look. >> translator: we support the responsible and principled approach of the u.n. secretary-general, sending an

invitation nor participation in these efforts to all those who could have direct influence in the situation in syria including iran. not ensuring the participation of such key players would be an unforeverrable error. >> reporter: -g unforgive ar error. >> and now of course it's all blown up in his face and he's probably going to have to roam back on it. no secret we've been talking to the russians, we have been talking to tehran. what's the fuf about, richelle. >> john, what are the talks, if the syrian coalition is not there, can the talks go forward? >> at this time, the talks are dead in the water. because if the body that represents the sort of the rump of the opposition in syria

doesn't turn up then there's really no point in going forward. though of course the opposition national council is itself a bit of a rag tab and bob tail organization. they are syrian exiles. if the talks go ahead the conclusions are sort of meaningless. they are sort of dead in the water thee talks. the iranians hold the kay to so many -- key to so many issues in the pleets that sooner or later they're going to have to be involved, richelle. >> in fact as we are talking, if i could get the producer to repeat that to me again -- we're actually joining it now but we missed the key part john which is iran has been uninvited. go ahead and listen in though right now. and actually we missed it but

the bulk of it is that iran has been uninvited to the talks. so what now? >> well i think they're very embarrassed about all this. i think that's why they came out, read the statement and disappeared very quickly. that's why we didn't have a chance to get in and hear the opening line. the top line iran now disinvited. that's probably quite good at least for the time being. it's all about who turns up richelle. america, the state department especially is pushing very, very hard for these talks to be a success. when ban ki-moon invited them over their heads that made the entire thing pretty pointless. behind the scenes the state department has worked very hard to have those folks uninvited. so now the talks can at least get under way. it's one day, it is a show boat day, everyone's going to be

there, lots of photographs, lots of tv cameras and the protest of putting together a traditional government without bashar al-assad can at least begin. and i think that's what the americans, what the state department wanted more than anything. of course bashar al-assad himself is talking about running for a third term and neither the opposition national council nor the regime is happy about any kind of transitional government that has the other side as a part of it. so it's a very long way to go but at least the talks can start, and i think that's what washington wanted more than anything richelle. >> because after all, these talks have been talks about the talks to begin. john terrett, live. go ahead john. >> that's diplomacy, baby steps, get them in the room first, get them in the room and see where we got from there. >> great wrapup. what we just found out, iran has

been uninvited from the talks. the white house says the issues with syrian peak taws, will not -- talks will not interfere with the iran nuclear stockpile deal. iran will stop building new facilities but can repair current ones. in return the u.s. and eu are easing sanctions on iranian oil gas and auto industries, releasing $4.2 billion in restricted funds and installments. congress may not honor that requirement. kimberly hellcut explains. >> monday international inspectors made sure iran was making good on its end of the bargain, enriching uranium to

20%. >> the islamic republics of iran has taken its part of the agreement according to the arrangements. >> these iranian americans are worried about it. they want all 100 members of the u.s. senate to know they're against new legislation that called for further sanctions on iran. the sanctions would see the u.s. financially and military plan against iran is halted. >> iranians are very opposed to war with, they see a potential opening for diplomatic relations with iran. and the congress will torpedo that. >> the deal struck in november in geneva, the agreement now being implemented pledges to ease sanctions for six months

put in jeopardy any hope of a permanent deal between iran and the international community? well, the answer has a lot to do with how u.s. politicians raise money. to get elected, and stay in office. indeed there are many u.s. senators who privately worry new sanctions could drive the iranians to take a tougher stance. and possibly end negotiations. israeli lobby efforts on alcohol are well organized. >> they don't want to get on the wrong side of groups that provide political contributions, apec, other groups like that, and so they're just doing what various lobby groups tell them to do. >> reporter: which is why a majority in the u.s. senate is ignoring president obama's appeal to delay sanctions. many in the iranian community. >> they going to divide more and more of the united states into iranians versus jews, this is a

home we chose for unity, freedom and democracy. >> while a final vote has not yet been scheduled, if enough members of congress back it, the bill may become law. improved relations between the u.s. and iran. kikimberly hellcut, al jazeera. the two men in this video claim to be part of the group that killed 31 people in volgograd. russians said they are looking for as many as four women said to be blad widows, believed to be at or near sochi. al jazeera's paul brennan is

there. >> reporter: the olympic train rolled into town exactly as planned. the welcome was deliberately subdued. just meters from this spot less than a month ago 18 people were killed in a suicide bomb blast. a second attack a day later took the total dead to 34. torch bearer andre karpov is a native of volg graf, holding the torch he told me of the when asked about his city his words dry up with sadness. >> at three weeks ago, i guess like the whole country, we feel like a -- what pain in our soul. >> volgograd station still bay the signs. by staging the olympic torch relay as planned the city

cements its resistance. that said, the release of another jihaddist video, underlines the fact that the threat is very real. >> this purports to be a recording of the two volgograd bombers. the authenticityity has not been determined. with temperatures dipping down to minus 20, the crowds were thin but people happy to see it. >> the bombing leaves an aftertaste, we shouldn't linger but we must move forward. >> various music events along the route were cancelled. >> we limited all the celebrations during the route in this city. and the special regime was hardened. right now we just make our

normal olympic torch relay without no celebrations. >> reporter: the city of volgograd is a powerful symbol of russian national pride. but that pootion just north of the caucasus, that threat is continuous. paul brennan, al jazeera, volgograd. >> talk about these threats with david a senior foal from the institute of democracies. >> this video was posted by a militant group. is there a connection to the attacks in volgograd last month? what do we know? >> there is no independent confirmation to that claim, but

it seems to be credible. it is a group that previously hasn't been herd of. within this particular conflict. however, you have a proliferation of different names that are being used. they both mentioned the late leader of the caucasus 'e 'em e. >> what does the timing tell you? >> it is clearly recorded after carrying off the volgograd attack. after they were killed before the olympics. they were first specific to the attack, talking about the volgograd attack was just a warning warning. they have something bigger for the olympians,.

>> they are are for all olympics, pardon me, it is par for the course. all these threats have to be taken seriously do they not? >> they do, particularly for these olympics, present in the area has shown repeated capability to strike inside russia. if you look at the the groups you've had successful strikes on the moscow subways, airports, as well as the surrounding region which is an impressive display of capability in a way that you haven't seen with respect to any group that's attack being london. ff you have a suicide attack there that succeeded back in 2005 but unlike russia that was the only large scale attack that actually succeeded in russia.

>> how much cooperation is there between russian officials? >> the united states isn't happy with the kind of information that it's getting from russia. representative mike proj ergs for example has complained that we don't have the information we need to keep our olympians safe. i would planning that that's still continuing with respect to these olympics that for example, the u.s. and other countries with an interest in seeing their olympians safe are providing a stream of threat information to the russians but that the u.s. isn't happy with the information it's getting back. >> david gartenstein ross i appreciate it. >> my pleasure. >> some people in west virginia still aren't willing to drink the water, including the state's governor possibly. similar to the one there and

robert ray caught up with the governor and asked him if he ask drinking the water. >> a busy day here in west virginia as state lawmakers and u.s. senators are in the capitol building proposing new regulations. also the governor of the state of west virginia governor tomlin, speaking out how he is restoring the faith of the general public, here is what he has to say. >> obviously we continue to test the water supply every hour and it is showing up at a nondetect level as i've been told. we will continue to do that, to try oget the smell out of the water as quickly as possible. if people are not comfortable cringing the water they should use wolte bottled water. it is a long ordeal and we're hoping that the next few days

people can use the water with confidence. >> are you drinkin drinking the? >> i drink it occasionally. >> we talked with joe manchin about legislation he are proposing in the state capitol today. this is what he said today. >> we have 80,000 different chemicals used in this country today. only 200 have been greatly tested. that has to change. >> aiming at regulating at above ground storage tanks like the ones that had the leak into the elk river a couple of weeks ago causing 300,000 people to be without water. state capitol today a lot of activity inside there. in fact city council members deciding whether they're going to press a lawsuit against freedom industries the exeanl blamed for the spill -- the

company blamed for the spill. they're having a vote today maybe even tomorrow. lawmakers on the federal and state level working very, very hard an efficiently to try to make good on the situation. as many people here in charleston many still make taking to bottled water. >> coming up, president obama says marijuana is less dangerous than alcohol. is this a step to legalizing pot all around the country? inequality growing thanks a social media. we'll look at how dozens of people managed to shut down a shopping mall. >> we are creating a class of adults exposed to mediocre education. >> stealing education, part of our week long, in depth series. america tonight only on al jazeera america

, the road map thats that what g

place how is that the government forces together with the supreme court from the ugandan office now you chase out the rebel fighters, now you tell them to come and discuss. it's a strange situation because there is no political gain here for the other side. >> welcome back. protests over racial and economic discrimination are growing in brazil. one of rfnlgd's most upscale malls had to -- rio de janeiro's most upscale malls had to shut its door. show us.

>> yes, richelle they're called rollesinos, take a look. this is a scene of one of them, splash mobs. it's turned into these big group of kids going into malls, in brazil, and you'll take a look at this. these groups have turned so big that police have really started to crack down on them. i'll show you some of the scenes here. this is one of the malls on itacera, the east side of sao paulo. in this one you've got police with batons, they were chasing kids down, that same day they also used tear gas and rubber bullets. i spoke to one of the organizations of one of these events, her name maria heno, on the western part of brazil and she told me that the reason why

they're doing this why they're protesting is because they're protesting against racial inequality and corruption. these events have really highlighted the racial and class divides within bras. and there are dozens more of these protests, these rollecinos they are called that are being called. that are next and police have been really cracking down on them. in fact they are not allowing teens into the malls without their parents, richelle. >> thanks. >> you're welcome. >> here's a number for you: more than 200 million people around the world are unemployed and that figure is likely to grow this year. the united nations reports the number of those out of work rose by almost 5 million in 2013 and it predicts an additional 4 million will be unemployed in 2014, rise blaming a rising

unequally recovery for joblessness. post office centers in staples stores, instead of postal workers, the financially strapped postal service says the agreement with staples will help grow its business. let's bring farrah sarabi in to discuss this. let's broaden out the discussion. how does this help the post office? certainly they wouldn't do it if you didn't think it would help them. >> they lost $5 billion in 2013, seven years in the red, consecutive years. they're thinking expansion of their services partnering up with a huge chain staples, now in 85 stores, the goal is to

expand this to over a thousand stores to offer all the same kinds of services that you can get. today is a great example, you can't go to a staples and get your nail service there. but this is the sticking point. and i just said it. >> is it a done-deal that it will be staffed by staples employees or is that something they're negotiating? >> so the union hopes that this is still open for negotiation. they're trying to put pressure on staples to reconsider how they're staffing these counters. the usps says look this isn't a question for us. we'll leave it up to staples. apparently no one wants to take a stand, but it seeks seems like they'll pretty much go forward with staples employees. they're minimum wage, whereas

the u.s. postal worker makes y has many more benefits. privatization in other words getting rid of public workers staff at the usps is preposterous, it's a crazy idea. his intention is to simply grow the business, to boost the bottom line. but it is a viable threat to workers. i can totally sympathize and empathize with their situation. in 1988 there was a similar move to try do this with serious and the unions -- with sears and sears backed out. this is really bad press for us and we don't want to get involved. they tried the incubator phase but ultimately did not continue.

>> or we haven't heard the last of it. thank you. a plea, kenneth bae asking the u.s. government to help get him released. but some question about whether north korea is willing to let him go and president obama says pot is not as bad as alcohol.

>> welcome back to al jazeera america. here is a look at more top stories. the u.s. has started easing economic sanctions on iran after the country began shutting down the most sensitive work today. the european union also lifted some economic sanctions on iran. a threat from russian militant group, carried out bombings that killed at least 31

last month and is threatening to attack the winter olympics in sochi. hundreds of thousands of people were band from drinking the water in west virginia for several days after a chemical spill. state and federal workers are trying to figure out what steps to take and whether that will include a lawsuit. breaking news this hour, the united nations has disinvited iran to the peace talks on syria. the u.s. wanted iran to support a transitional government but the syrian national council said it would not attend unless that invitation was withdrawn. >> statements today that are not at all consistent with that stated commitment. he continues to urge iran to join the global consensus behind

the geneva communique. given that it has chosen to remain outside that basic understanding he has decided that the one day montreux gathering will proceed without iran's participation. >> the main western backed syrian opposition says it will now attend. the meeting is set for wednesday in switzerland. aamerican missionary being held in north korea. kenneth bae spoke to journalists, asked the u.s. to help him get released. craig gleason has the details. >> kenneth bae was brought before journalists in a a gray cap. he spoke briefly with journalists, during that time he

made this statement: i believe my problem can be solved by close cooperation between my government and the government of this country. that appeared to be north korea reaching out to washington and south korea for ongoing or renewed talks with the country. kenneth bae was jailed in november 2012 for what was stated as crimes against the state, sentenced for 15 years hard labor. he has visited hospital at that time. he recently became a center of headlines after dennis rodman's trip to north korea. he took in an nba basketball team to play a game for kim john jong-un's birthday.

>> president obama says he's troubled by ham harsh antidrug s have harmed, jonathan betz is here with that. jonathan. >> well richelle marijuana is the most popular illegal drug in the united states. 17 million americans use it. it is a number growing for many years. for most it is their only drug. one out of every three high schoolers have smoked pot. that's more now than cigarettes. blacks and whites use it as nearly the same rate, but blacks are singled out for arrest. they are nearly four times as likely to be arrested for marijuana. in some states blacks are nearly

eight times more likely to be arrested for weed in illinois, minnesota. carrying pot is an easy crime to catch. now, whatever the reason over the past decade more and more people have been arrested for marijuana. it now accounts for almost half of all drug arrests in the u.s. and states spend by the way nearly $4 billion a year enforcing marijuana laws that as the president says seem to target minorities even though millions of all races enjoy it. richelle. >> glerglen martin of just leadership u.s.a. mr. martin, first what is your reaction to the president being so forthright about this? >> i think it is about time that we have a president that says our war on drugs policy is essentially not working and perhaps we should take a a

closer look at the evidence and take a public health approach with how we approach marijuana use. essentially right now or criminal justice making is driven by fear and not science. and if we take a public health approach, and realize that marijuana use should be in that approach. >> are you taking into the fact the addictive factor of some of these drugs? >> well the question for me is if someone is picked up for these drugs why wouldn't they be taken to a hospital? rather than a police precinct because that's where addiction problems should be drafted. >> i'll e-i'm going to pull a quote, the president says it's important for these laws to go forward because it's important for society not to have a situation where a large portion of people have at one time or another have broken the law and only a select few get punished.

can you tell me how these laws treat different people differently? >> sure. low income communities of color although poor whites are also disproportionately reacted by arrests for drugs. financial and racial aspects? >> race and class. we have to be careful that even though the statistics, we are remind that this is an american issue. not just relegated to people of color. because if you look at use of marijuana it is pretty use across the board, but what i'd also remind our viewers it is not just the arrest it is the collateral consequences. barriers to voting barriers to housing, the american dream can be stripped away from involvement with the criminal

justice system. >> i know you have talked to people who have been affected by this. what are some of the things they tell you? >> most of the people involved in the system ask themselves why am i going through the system a low level marijuana possession essentially. i've never seen someone smoke marijuana and go on some anger rage-filled crime spreez essentially. and so even people who are impacted by the arrest itself wonder why our criminal justice system is spending so many resources to target them when there are other crimes that people should be targeting, law enforcement should be targeting with its scarce resources. >> when speaking of low level marijuana that is what doesn't need to be criminalized to be clear there is a critical aspect to some drugs. >> there is a criminal aspect to some drugs but when you have 52%

of your auto pilot and not being very clever about being smart on crime as being tough on crime. >> great discussion. glen martin, thank you so much. i'm sure we'll have you back. today the nation remembers the legacy of dr. martin luther king, fought hard for economic quality, asking for economic equality. 40 years later, stacy tisdale reports. >> america has defaulted on this prom sorry note. >> according to historians, dr. martin luther king was very concerned that this could deremain his civil rights movement. with poverty and income disparities being the ultimate discriminators.

>> in 1968, he was killed before his first march. >> his poor people's campaign was focused on providing economic rights for blacks, latinos, native americans and whites. dr. scifng asked for a massive development in infrastructure, job training, affordable health care an minimum wage. the same thing lawmakers debate today. >> it is the same way as having the personal di dignity in the choices to create the reality, we have never in that regard been in control of our own destiny. >> 50 years ago later financial responsibility has gotten worse. when the poor people's campaign was launched in 2008, recent data shows that number has fallen to about 50 cents.

the average net worth of white families in the united states stands at $632,000. $110,000 for hispanics and $98,000 for blacks. >> a key concern has to be what happened in about two decades whl evere when the struggling is mient, becomes a major. >> we've got a shifort to people of color all around the world younger and darker. and unless we empower these folks the world's got a problem. >> i have a dream that one day this inflation will rise -- this nation will rise up, live out the true meaning of its creed. we hold these truth to be self evident. that all men are created equal. >> with an equal chance to enjoy

the freedom and peace of mind that come with economic security. taste imridz advertisedale, new york. >> cities across the country are remembering dr. king today. in denver it is the largest in the nation. paul beban has the latest. good afternoon, in martin luther king day, at the end of the martin luther king marade, they call it, a march and parade. a day of music work in the community as you can hear in the civic center. a little earlier i spoke to mayor wellington webb and his wife wilma. >> i was so dedicated to doing holiday because dr. king was

such a great man. he was an easy person to know, that we know that he was deserving and that he was worthy of the holiday. i carried the legislation for four years four different times and each time i had to make it a different bill. i was so glad that i saw the bill grow for four years, first being a minority bill then one that combined the sponsors to be black people, white people, both democrat and republican and everyone in the legislature and finally getting all kinds of sponsors and it finally happened in 1984. >> you can see it really brings the city and state together. mayor webb, can you telling us the relationship of fling day and maybe a dedication he had to the whole movement. >> dr. king had been here several times. one of the photos you saw was

done here in denver. one of the songs he loved the best, my living shall not be in vein, he first heard here in denver. his wife corrette ta gave her first speech here at new hope baptist church. even in his speech about i have a dream, he speaks to the mountains of colorado. >> wellington web, first black mayor of denver and his wife will mawilma. mlk celebrations across the city. back to you. >> koranian president viktor yanukovych is asking for a compromise. ukraine has had wreaks of unrest, when the president, supposed to happen today but it's been delayed indefinitely. the mayor's central african

republic capitol city, fighting again in bastion gee in mid december and complete across the country. fighting is in the muslim rebel group has left 1 in every four homeless. >> hosting world cup is supposed to be a source of national pride for soccer crazed country of brazil but even in sao paulo where the opening day will be in june, half the stadiums built are not done. gabriel alazondo is in one of stadiums to see how the construction is progressing. >> this stadium is going to host several matches in the group stage of the world cup. let's go inside and take a look

on how it's going. one of the most striking parts of this stadium is actually the roof. and they have 66 of these panels and they call them leaves. and what they do is provide sort of a natural air conditioning to the stadium because the wind that blows off of the nearby lake sort of blows through here. all of these panels are fire resistant as far as they provide uv protection from the sun. certainly, definitely.one of the most interesting parts of the stadium without a doubt. it is something right when you get here it immediately catches your eye. this is a stadium that is owned and managed by internationale, one of the local clubs here and unlike some of the other host cities where the government funded the building of the stadium, not here this is a partnership between the local club and the builders, the initial cost was supposed to be around $150 million but in the

end it was going to be $200 million. it was supposed to be delivered in late 2012 but they were late with strikes and the like. they say this staid yum is very close to hosting one of its first test matches. here's the pitch or the field, and this is put in more than a year ago. it was one of the first stadiums that had the pitch laid. this is grass that was imported from the united states and they're very proud of it because they say that it is resistant to all sorts of weather conditions here, wind, rain, the heat. clearly this pitch is going osee a lot of football stars on it once the world cup rolls around. >> rescuers are searching for survivors at the scene of a deadly explosion in omaha. are maria, tell us more. >> thanks richelle.

in omaha, a dead deli li explosion at an agriculture plant, ten people were taken to the hospital, at least four in critical condition. international nutrition plant at the time of the explosion. in new jersey the state's second in command has responded to the latest allegations against governor chris christie, denied claims that the governor' govers office requested for her support in exchanges for aid for superstorm sandy. she has turned the information over to investigators. officials say surveillance video shows a former student bypassing metal detectors. the former student who was thought to have sold the gun

america, controversial dolphin hunt, people say it's inhumane. that is next. while you were asleep news was happening. >> here are the stories we're following. >> find out what happened and what to expect. >> international outrage. >> a day of political posturing. >> every morning from 5 to 9 am al jazeera america brings you more us and global news than any other american news channel. >> tell us exactly what is behind this story. >> from more sources around the world. >> the situation has intensified here at the border. >> start every morning, every day 5am to 9 eastern. >> with al jazeera america.

>> al jazeera america is a

>> it's an annual event in japan that has caused a lot of worldwide controversy. fishermen, fish are put in a small bay, japan kills roughly 20,000 dolphins small porpoise is and whales every year. this was the subject of the academy award winning documentary the cove.

lewis joins us now. thank you so much for coming in. we appreciate it. basic question, what is dolphin hunting? >> well, most of the dolphins for swim with dolphin programs are actually captured in this little town of taije. the capture of a couple thousands a year. the ones they don't capture are slaughtered for meat. >> how common is this? >> tens of thousands of tons that are schooled there every year. >> is it only here where this happens? >> it's in the northern part of japan that they capture a lot of porpoises, same family of setacians. the thing is they use them for food but all the meat is toxic, 5,000 times more mercury than allowed by japanese law yet there's an exemption in the food

laws in japan that allows them to eat this type of meat that is toxic. >> did you raise objection to it? >> i'm shocked that what's happened though is the captive dolphin trade, the sea worlds of the world, are now flocking to this town to buy dolphins. what really fuels the dom fin hunt is the -- dolphin hunt is the captive dolphin shows. >> is that the type of thing that has to change? >> yes, stop going oplaces like sea world or miami sea aquarium. even though they haven't gotten dolphins out of the wild for this method for a few years they're trying desperately, sea world is trying to get, they have 18 belugas.

bottle nose dolphins in this pod was one baby dolphins. in this pod was an albino dolphin like a treasure. and this is ignited the passion of all the animal rights people in the world and not just animal rights people, everyone. because this animal about a year old still nursing, was ripped from his mother. now it's destined to life in a tank that was made for fish. aand this is not a fish. this is an air breathing mammal. these animals have bigger brains than humans. for animals they have to do tricks forever for its life. >> do you think that that will make a difference? >> absolutely. we're at a tipping point right

now. to create a tipping point of any kind of movement, that film black fish a fabulous film has been seen by 20 million people and growing. at that point we're get to ten, 12%, at 16 i think it will be game over for the seaworlds of the world. >> thank you for joining us here on al jazeera. a look at the day's top stories when al jazeera america continues and do keep it here. >> start with one issue ad guests on all sides of the debate. and a host willing to ask the tough questions and you'll get... the inside story ray suarez hosts inside story next only on al jazeera america
