inches of water and carry to the river. this is something you may here "turn around, don't drown", it plies here in mississippi tonight and alabama over towards florida. as we look at the satellite you can see the rain moving through. storm reports from texas and louisville were regarding hail. we had it up to an inch in diameter. starting to see flood warnings kick in in many places. we are starting to see wind gaj reports. it's probably going to be some of the strongest we had across florida tonight. also rain-wrapped tornados, you can't see them coming. there's a watch in the same place. 4 inches of rain in the gauge for jackson mississippi, and you could see the warnings in place staying there overnight as we have another 3-5 inches of

rainfall. all the moisture coming up, picking up from the golf. it is going to be heaviest across louisville, stretching to georgia as we get through the night. it will be an active night into tomorrow for the south-east. a nice story to hear is about how much warmer the rest of us will get. >> looking forward to that. still ahead. the future of afghanistan hangs in the balance after presidential elections - how the vote could shape the nation, and the world's biggest election is under way in india. a massive undertaking and what is at stake. >> a first for the pope in argentina. the bapities that has many around the world talkingti [s]m

around the world talkithe worldg [ male announcer ] it's here -- xfinity watchathon week,

your chance to watch full seasons of tv's hottest shows for free with xfinity on demand. there's romance, face slaps, whatever that is, pirates, helicopters, pirate-copters... argh! hmm. it's so huge, it's being broadcast on mars. heroes...bad guys... asteroids. available only on mars. there's watching. then there's watchathoning. ♪ .

>> we are glad you are watching al jazeera america. here are the top stories this half hour - president obama says rwandan genocide 20 years ago was neither an accident nor unavoidable. the flame of remembrance was making its way across the country. pro-russian demonstrations broke out in self cities in eastern ukraine. protesters stormed the building. demonstrators say they planned on staying overnight. in fort hood texas it was a day of prayers and reflection. iraq war veteran ivan lopez killed three and wounded 16 others, before shooting himself. >> it is sunday night, in time for our regular segment "the week ahead". tonight afghan's future. a lot is riding on the election. including whether american

forces remain. we start with bernard smith, with an update from kabul. >> in the end the afghanistan election passed off comparatively peacefully for the country. the deployment of security personnel would have helped with that. there has been few allegations of fraud. the votes are being counted. it will be weeks before there's an official declaration of the winner. but the winner needs to win more than 50% of the vote to be declared winner outright. without that there'll be a run-off. the run-off will not be held until the end of may. once the votes are counted and allegations dealt with, it may not be until the end of the summer after afghanistan knows who the new president will be, and waiting to be signed is a bilateral security agreement with the u.s. government.

all the cann dates standing for president said they'll sign it. the u.s. government wants the afghans to sign it because it wants to maintain a u.s. troop presence for training and keeping the pressure on al qaeda remnants in the country. the problem is largistics. because the agreement has not been signed the u.s. government doesn't know how many troops will be able to leave here. time is running out for afghan and u.s. governments. if this agreement is not signed before september, october, it will be diff for the military to work out how to leave troops there. >> there's eight men in the running for president. these three are the candidates. the first holds a ph.d. from columbia and used to be the

finance minister. he worked for the west bank for a decade, then zalmai rassoul, with a female as a running mate. and abdullah abdullah, he was foreign minister and ran against hamid karzai, but lost in 2009. we met with jamie, a senior staff writer at al jazeera, and has years of experience covering afghanistan, and sara, with the international rescue committee. >> right now the big fear is that - look, there has been elections, military and afghan forces are drilling down. maybe it's time to wash our hands. but there are massive needs. the government has spent 1.6 trillion. 0.025% of that could provide life-saving needs for all of the people with urgent needs.

looking at the moment of seeing the election we saw with 7 million people coming out to vote. nearly 16 prd. what are you struck by. >> we saw horrific moments of violence. what struck most people is it was less than a normal day in afghanistan. the turn out was high, but was high in certain places, where the taliban influence is strong, in the south-east. many did not go out to vote. in other parts of the country polling stations were closed. that speaks to people looking not just at the possibility of a democratic handover, but what happens after. they expect the taliban who was there before the international community arrives to be there after the international community leaves.

there's that overriding factor hanging over all of this. >> you mentioned the civilians. they paid a heavy price for years and years of war. thousands have been injured. more killed last year. civilians, than in the past five years. close to 2300 civilians decide in 2013. when you look at the numbers it raises a concern that the country is not ready to see the international community step away. >> when we were out there, i was talking with the staff. they told us the top three concerns of communities. one is security, two and three is jobs. they are asking for support. please don't abandon us now. let's build on the games and prepare for a stable future. a lot of people will say wait a minute, the united states does

not want to abandon you, but the current president wants united states to pull back. he has not signed a deal to keep american forces in afghanistan behind 2014. all the candidates say "we will sign the deal, rest assured your support is appreciated, we want you to stay", hamid karzai said the same thing in the distant pass. how are we convinced that they'll sign the deal? >> whoever comes in will need help no matter how much they like it. the fact of the matter is if we want to sustain the capabilities, they cannot do that. the afghan economy cannot afford to pay the salaries of the afghan security forces. we are on the hook $5 billion a year for the security capability. when the incoming president

comes in and surveys the lay of the land and understands what is at stake, whether they want to return to the taliban, whether they want to give up everything they have achieved. they'll be looking at signing the agreement quickly. >> let's look at numbers there now. the numbers are constant, around 30,000 troops there. by september 2010, president obama boosted the number to 98,000 soldiers. two years ago the u.s. scaled back, and the number of u.s. troops in afghanistan is about 38,000 people. do you agree with jamie on this. do you think this is a guarantee that the deal will be assigned and american forces will remain in afghanistan for years to come? >> i understand that people are exhausted hearing about afghanistan. there has been heavy investment lives lost, but there needs to

be a commitment to the afghan people. >> there's a concern that foreign aid has not been used properly because they have problems with corruption and a lot of dollars are wasted. >> that's true, it's one of the most corrupt country. we have spend $80 billion on afghanistan's restructure. they have to decide which projects they are going to be spending it on. half of the money has gone to the afghan army and police. the rest have gone to projects that have been mismanaged. >> when we look at the cost of the law, $770 million. a lot of people say "why should we continue throwing money at that country." >> don't just throw money at the

country. for a tiny fraction of the effort you can provide life-saving assistance and help people through in an effective and accountable way, making sure that presumes are used. we want that and others want that. we did not see a lot of attacks by the taliban on election day. a lot see that as a victory. howe concerned -- how concerned are you that the taliban may come back to power. >> many of the people did not vote because of the taliban influence there. >> it wasn't that they were

worried about the day, they were worried about the day after, when everyone sees them at the polling station. that example is illuminating. the fact that they are of the people, and continue to be there regardle regardless. the less reach the u.s. forces have. the less command they will have. >> al jazeera america will continue to follow the afghanistan election in the coming weeks. here are a few more events in the week ahead. chuck hagel will be in china, his first visit in the country after a visit to japan. >> tuesday is equal pay day. president obama to announce two executive orders to promote equal pay for women, and pa

federal court to hear arguments on same-sex marriage bans in utah and oklahoma. >> the hindu nationalist party in india appears to be the leader. intians will -- ippedians will -- indians will vote for 543 members of the parliament. voting has to be spread for weeks. >> the number of people voting in the general election is staggering. 814 million people are registered. 23 million are 18 and 19. many people have to vote for so many. there are a million polling stations. bribery has been common. flying squads and surveillance teams are monitoring sites. >> with more on the vote, there's never been an election this large.

i'm wondering how they are able to pull this off? >> how do the election commission manage to do this, but they do manage to bull it off. it's a synchronized movement. the last election in 2009, the task of the election commission got harder. 100 million extra registered voters an added to the lists. they had to be taken into account. >> you physically can't send 1814 people to the ballot box es on one day. of course, what you said, yes,

over a million polling stations are in place. the five weeks is there, so that security can move from one region of the country to the next to secure the polling stations and for the election officials to move to make sure it's free and fair and everything is in order. that's a reason why it takes time. you'll here in the coming weeks that we are going for a third time for an election. some are very big. one place has a population of 18 million, the size of part of germany and poland. that will go to the polls on three different occasions. examples like that you'll hear again and again. it's a large general election,

the largest democracy in the world, hoping to choose the 16th parliament. help us understand what is at stake for the indian people. well, for the indian people what is at stake is what is at stake for most people, and what they worry about is the economy, security, jobs. the different parties who sit in opposition, but you listened to the polls, and the comments made by the local media. they could be a party request a large number of seats, a promisi promising development. it's an alleged made by the opposition party. in this election, and for their campaign, it's led by gandhi,

the son and great gand son of former indian prime minister. it will be interesting to see how they develop and succeed in the coming weeks. results will be known on may the 16th. >> live for us in new delhi, thank you for the report. >> the libyan government truck a deal with protesters that occupied key ports. it's a major breakthrough. andrew simmons is in tripoli with that story. >> the deal means the reopening of two out of four eastern oil ports after an 8-month blockade. it cost billions in loft revenue. now, after prolonged talks between protest leaders and government intermediaries there's a deal. the mediators reached an agreement to reopen the port in two stages. one port opened first, and

another in two to four weeks. certainly there'll be other conditions and terms. >> the first signs of movement came less than a week ago with the release of three men who stole the morning glory oil tanker with crude on board. the man had been delayed by crews who handed the tanker over. the leader received a hero's welcome. its head. was behind all the demands for autonomy and a larger share of the oil revenue. there's belief there is dissent about some in relation to making a deal with the government. it happened on a day when the eastern city of benghazi was expressing anger. streaks were held in the public and private sectors, shutting

schools and the university. approach roads were blocked. all international flights in and out of the airport were cancelled. the general national congress based in tripoli should be expanded. ipp fighting amongst parliamentarians has been a factor in the breakdown of law and order. any semblance of it throughout the country, particularly in the east. there may be optimism may start flowing, anger, frustration among libyans is bearing down on the government. this week a unique ceremony in argentina, the child of a same-sex couple was baptised. the parents hope it will create

social change. >> at the roman catholic cathedral of core doba, a blessing. the daughter of a lesbian couple. she is the first couple of a same-sex couple in argentina known to receive the sack rament. >>translation: the father was waiting for a marriage like ours. he accepted us, giving way to social change. the roman catholic church said yes to the baptism of a baby girl. >> the godmother is argentine president christine fernandez. four years ago she signed a bill legalizing same-sex marriage. it came when cardinal francis was leader and opposed to the

measure. pope francis said that all children have the right to be baptised. since his papacy he has shown more tolerance to guys and lesbian. >> we are awaiting a wedding, a wedding for the two of us. >> the couple are legally married, requesting an official ceremony in a catholic church. >> there's more ahead on al jazeera america. including in sport two unlikely teams facing off the crown college basketball. how kentucky and connecticut surprised everyone. more when we come back.

>> this is the final no one saw coming with the n.c.a.a. >> absolutely. i'm not sure that anyone pencilled in an 8th seed and 7th seed. the coach said "you counted me out." he jumped out of a casket and said "we are not dead yet", she didn't pull off the stunt but it was a point well taken. they are taking different paths, and neither are ready for the cinderella story to end. >> i'm definitely not satisfied. i mean, we have one more game to go. we have been through a lot this year. you know, we deserve to reward ourselves and go out and play hard. so definitely not satisfied. >> that is because despite being ranked number one to start the season, kentucky fell short of

expectations. early losses sent them tumbling down the ranks. by the time march madness rolled around they weren't a top team. >> they have an unbelievable will to win. they have been ridiculed, criticised. they were absolutely mauled. i think it made them stronger and come together. >> proving it's not how it starts, kentucky used a clean slate at the most to start again. the version of the freshman fab five has been led by harrison who has been knocked down to put kentucky down for good. guys that make game winners are not afraid to miss. if he misses, give me another one. the best players that make those plays have amnesia from play to

play. >> from connecticut, it's not youth but experience. for the upper classman it began last season. yukon was not allowed into the tournament. while this year's junior and senior players could have transferred, they opted to stay the course. >> we have been through a lot with each other. three years we've been through a lot. we believe in each other. >> this is going through the dark days believing. they just believe in this. no matter if they down, no matter if they can't play in an n.c.a. tournament. they believe and keep fighting. when everyone counts us out, we get up. that's what this universe is about. >> after using overtime to beat st. josephs, they rattled upsets

over a two, three, fourth, one seed. >> we feel like we have been doubted the whole seen and heading into the tournament. that's what drives us, and everybody is going out there and when people said that, we'd goat out trying to pull people around and thet them know that yukon is on top. >> the tournament kicks off tomorrow. >> any predictions? >> i'll go kentucky. >> i'll go connecticut to keep it fair. >> finally, a rescue at sea. a sail boat became disabled off the coast of mexico and there was a sick 3-year-old. rescue areas stabilized into the water stabilizing the 1-year-old girl. >> if you took a navy seal, a paramedics and throw in a

few years of training, that's a pararescueman. >> i'm glad she is alive and my niece is being taken care off. the rescue crews stood watch over the little girl in 24 hours ships until the ship reached the coast. >> the couple were trying to sail around the globe. setting out with their two young children. the power boat lost power and steering and the youngest child grew il. they'll arrive for treatment next week. that's the show for this sunday night. thank you for joining us. i'm jonathan betz, stay with us for a quick check of the headlines after this break on al jazeera
