global calamity. the news that from some fallen powers is underway is reassuring. but the scars of the tragedy are deep, and the trauma long lasting. >> the search for the missing girls continues as business and political leaders attend the world economic forum in nigeria. more from the capitol on how the violence could effect the company's economy. >> the world economic forum was supposed to showcase the economic and business opportunities in nigeria to investors from around the world. but it's been overshadowed by violence in the northeast. hundreds of people were killed in a village on monday, and more than 200 girls are being held hostage by the arm ad group boko haram. despite the violence, the government decided to go ahead.

>> they come in here to support us morally. >> nigh year yeah is a country of enormous contrast. it's economy is is booming. it is the world's 26th largest, and last year became after ca's biggest economy, investors from around the world are keep to cash in on it's huge market of over 160 million people. the economy is fueled by a massive growth in mobile telecoms,ing ary skull sure, banking and the film industry. but on the other hand, nigh year yeah has also big problems to overcome. it is losing billions of dollars every year to oil, anest maided 100,000 barrels of oil are stolen every day.

is there's been a upserj of violence dispute in central nigeria that has kilted millions of people. >> we have a scenario, where there's such a difference in the income between the super rich, and the super poor. this is as a result of overtime the mismanagement of our social policy, the mismanagement of our unity. which led to corruption, and corruption to a scenario where there's a huge device between the rich and the poor, and then that of course, that leads up to the issue of security. >> the problems are fueled massive poverty among the mas.s, more than 61% of people live less than one u.s. dollars a day, and more than 30% are unemployed. >> many nigerias are asking if and how the turmoil in the northeast affects the long term prospects of the rest of the nation.

many people that the constant attacks and insecurity even though they are confined to one region, will hurt the whole country. yvonne ndege, al jazeera, abbasketball da nigeria. >> who are helping keep people up to date on what is happening back in their homeland. >> pro russian separatist in eastern ukraine say they will ahead and move forward with an awe ton my referendum. they are ignoring russian president vladimir putin's delay to the vote, the platist of eastern ukraine might have been expected to do exactly what russian sha's president had urged them to do. postpone their referendum of negotiate with the government. but siting a unanimous vote at the council of the people's republic, it's chairman set the referendum would go ahead. >> we don't have direct contact with vladimir putin, we found out about his proposal through the mass media, i think he

will learn about our decision in the same way. >> representatives of the neighboring people's republic announced that they would do likewise. and in the separatist strong hold two focus of an on going effort to dislodge armed prorussian groups the message was that here too they are ready for sunday's vote. the majority of the region and the city will vote positively. i know this because i have talked to many local citizens and all the sectors of the population. everybody supports us, and everybody want as better future. >> and with that, in the corners of occupied eastern ukraine, putin test intervention was comprehensively dismissed. >> i can only expect, and i think all the cities agree with us. the separation from ukraine, for our own independent on the people's republic. >> we are not oriented to

europe, all our roots are roots or most of the people here are deeply in russia. >> with soviet music blaring out across the square, this is the local administration building. but for several weeks has been occupied by representatives of the people's republic. well, after sunday's vote, many here hope it will become the seat of an autonomous government. >> and the hopes suddenly raised by president putin on wednesday, of the resolution to this crisis in ukraine, appear to be unfounded. al jazeera, done necessarying. >> a new poll founds that a large majority of ukrainians including people in the east, want their country to remain a single unified state. in fact, a puig research sur is i have found that 77% of ukrainians want their country to keep it's current borders. of those in the east, only 58% of russian speakers inside the country say

they want to remain a part of ukraine. so here to break all that down for us, is journalist hair yet salem who joins us now live. harriet, thank you so much for being with us, according to that pugh poll, 70% of eastern ukrainians want a united ukraine, so is what specifically do the people want? >> well, i think it is a very unique case, because it is the heart land of the rebel support. and it is also been subject to counter terrorism operation led by kiev. which is been launched in the beds to ousted rebels. that violence on the outskirts of the cities as rebels clashed with the ukrainian soldiers, that has fueled public sentiments here. which -- towards being pro russian, and fueled anger towards kiev, for the deaths of violence, that happens. the opinion on the streets, is it's very pro

russian. if you look at the region as a whole, there are deep political divides in the region. many people who are pro ukrainian, are scared to speak out. when there are men operating on the streets rebels which have guns and have kidnapped people and there are serious kind of human rights violations going on, so people are scared to oppose the kind of new regime which is aggressive. yo describe this as the heart land of rebel support, is there fear this could bring even more violence then what you just mentioned. >> yes, i think that's very possible. it is going to happen uncertain outcome, uncertain the referendum will be recognized by kiev has said that it will not recognize it, russia has withdrawn it's support. so it's going to create more instability in the region.

even if the result is produced, and the referendum does go ahead, it's not clear what will happen next, or what it will mean, or mow this will move forward. so i think the future of ukraine is very uncertain at the moment. >> with all this withdrawn support and increased tension that you just mentioned do, the people plan on going ahead with this referendum on sunday? >> the local -- the rebels local leaders look out as the correspondent said, have is said they will go ahead. it is unclear how it will be implemented in terms of practical processes, organizing the polling stations the ballot papers. rebel leaders have said that more will be released to the press and the public tomorrow, as they are waiting to see what preparations have been made. but italy be very difficult, because the rebels control of the region it is very

concentrating in some pockets. so it's unclear how a vote will be held there and freely across the region. >> we look forward to following those preparations. joining us live from ukraine, thank you for being with us this afternoon. >> the head of syria's main opposition group is is making his first visit to washington. syrian national council met with secretary of state john kerry today. the meeting comes one with day after hundreds of syrian rebels left. meantime, sir isian state t.v. reports that rebels have grown up a hotel in the hard hit city of aleppo. which was used by government troops. at least ten people were killed. this same hotel was a target of an earlier attack in february. south sudan's rebel leader arrived in ethiopia today, one day before his first face to face talks with the country's president since fighting began in december. they will look for a why to end the conflict that

has killed thousands of people, and forces more than a million people to flee their homes. also today, the unreleased a new report on human rights issues in south sudan, what are the newest findings from this report? >> michael, i have it here, 61 pages this report. and chilling detail of murder, execution, and rape. in what started off as a political dispute. i have just come from the u.n. security council, i saw ambassadors going into the meeting they certainly have read this report. and are shocked by what it says. and are now looking at ways to try and respond to try to transform the u.n. mission that's already there on the ground in south sudan. into one that can start protecting the civilians. they are already said they want about 5,000 more troops and police to go there, most of those coming from existing u.n. missions some of those in

africa, some of them as far away as haiti. >> so you say the u.n. wants to do something about it, what is the security council prepared to do about this violence. >> well, i think they will look at the idea of more troops, just these extra 5,000 will cost $223 million. so this isn't something you do lightly. i think they will be looking at otherrish measures, changing the whole operation of that u.n. mission, and the security council resolution is being drawn up about that. by the u.s. diplomates here, they are drawing up a draft resolution as we speak, they are also considering another measure, which is sanctions and now last 24 hours the u.s. government has sanctioned two key figures one on each side, of the divide. and i think some diplomates want the u.n. to do the same. they want the u.n. to draw up it's own sanctions and certainly consideration about getting a resolution to do that too. >> james because, live at the u.n., thank you. >> pakistani authorities

release an fbi agent on bail today, days after he was detained while trying to board a plane. they arrested jolt cox sunday after airport authorities say they fawned bullets and 35s in his luggage. but a law enforcement official says he appeared to have made a mistake and didn't mean to bring those bullets on the plane. in today's power politics the rangeling continues on capital, where democrats are claiming that republicans relatively only care about those big money special interests. >> al jazeera joining us now, we have heard that cry before from the democratic side. >> we have, but it is whereat cheffing up. strategies say this is all part of the effort to make a choice election, rather than a referendum. president obama previewed the new effort to make choosing republicans more distasteful, we believe in pay equity, they say no. we believe in a higher

minimum wage, they say no. we think climate change is real, some of them say is it is a hoax, that we are fabricating it. on top of the president's accusations the top democrat of the u.s. senate majority leader harry reid has now mentioned the billionaire coke brothers. they have given tens of millions of dollars to republicans to stop climate change legislation. >> they are one of the main causes of this. not a cause, one of the main causes. in one jeer, coke industries released 31 million tons of toxic air. now republicans are also on the offensive, they have increased their claims that democrats are dishonest and not trustworthy. john boehner just pushed his chamber to four americans were killed in that attack, and the obama administration had offered

conflicted accounts about what it knew at the time. >> when is the administration going to tell the american people the truth. they have not told them the truth about benghazi. >> the focus doesn't appear to have a political down side for republicans at least for now. a survey found that if congress should continue to invest face, 60% said yes, 34% said no. and 6% were not sure. speaking of polls there is a new survey out today that underscores why tea party candidates faired so poorly in primaries this year. support for the tea party is now down to 1%. four years ago, republican support was 61%. overall, support for the tea party stands at 22%, four years ago, that among all voters was 31%. finally, fat check organizations are now hammering pennsylvania's governor for what the fair election groups are calling the most misleading

commercial of 2014. republican incumbent governor tomko bit is running this spot against his challenger tom wolf. our taxes went through the roof. and higher taxes led to 152,000 p.a. workers losing their johns. >> sounds brutal, well, wolf did serve as revenue secretary for 18 months but he in that position has no authority to raise or lower taxes. his job was to oversee the state agency collecting taxes. and as far as job loss it is losses in pennsylvania were actually greater under tomko bit's administration than the previous democratic one. miss leading commercials sometimes backfire. and that is today's power politics. >> and we see them all the time. >> strong is words. >> absolutely. >> coming up here on al jazeera america, remains of unidentified 9/11 victims will be moved to ground

zero in two days despite protests. family members of victims and explained why they are against the move, next. >> plus, open for business, banks open their doors to legal pot dealers. ball bal

appealing to president obama asking them to keep loved ones remains out of a vault. and that vault is seven floors underground. >> they are angry that the unidentified remains will be housed in a flood plain. with the families this afternoon. >> yes, and you know, there's a difference between the identified and the unidentified remains, if they are identified they belong to the families if they are unidentified and there are 8,000 pieces then they belong to the city. seven floors down of the new memorial museum, which opens one week today. now the families many of them are not happy about this at all. including rose line who we spoke to, she lost her brother sean, who was a

firefighter when the towers came down, and she says that in death osama bin laden was better treated than many of the victims of the trade center site. >> his remains were treated with respect. they were washed, they were covered with a cotton cloth, and he was swept into the sea. contrast that with the 9/11 victims and their remains the own identified remains. a pay as you go museum, in a basement underground area, that has been deemed to be a flood zone. who would have ever picked that for our loved ones? so osama bin laden got treated better than our own identified victims. >> the city said it consulted the families but what it means by that is the five families that sit on the board, and many of these other families that there are 2700 families that lost loved one

including jim ritchie's here. he is a former fire chief, and his son jimmy died he found his remains nine months later. he says they really don't want these to be in what amount to a theme park. >> all we ask for is to have a vote of the family, the 2700 families let's see what they want. above grade, in a memorial with an eternal light, where it is open to the public, free of charge, or in a revenue generating tourist attraction. >> so they are calling for a vote in the meantime, guys protests will begin on saturday, continue on the 15th when the memorial opens and on the twenty-first. they have written to president obama but some of the moments there today said they have to spend their mother's day weekend, protesting outside the location, where unidentified that they suspect many of them are part of their family will be moved into this vault, and sent seven is floors down. >> describing it like a theme park. >> a lot of emotions. >> they are very upset.

>> thank you. >> on wall street, stocks were mixed today investors assess the latest batch of company earnings reports. checking the big board, the down guyed 32 points today, and marijuana has been a cash only industry in colorado, since it was legalized back in january, but that is all about to change. state lawmakers have approved the first banking system for pot businesses. that means they can now access basic services like their checking accounts, and loans so daniel douglas is a banking reporter at the washington post. joins us now live from d.c. to break down what this all means from from a policy standpoint. daniel, thank you for being with us this afternoon. let me be clear on this, this is still a cash base business for the customer, but now pot owners can work with banks to open corporate accounts. >> yes. this is an interesting take, a creation of a co-op kind of credit union.

to write 4:00s and accept credit cards but they do have to wait for the federal reserve to approve accepting credit cards or being able to write checks off of these accounts. >> but you still can't go into a pot dispenry and then pay with your credit card, right? >> no. that's probably not a good idea. earlier on in the year, the treasury department alongside the justice department, told banks that if you want to start doing business with marijuana dealers as long as they are legal in the state where they are doing business, you have all right to do so. unfortunately, there's no legal protections for any of those banks that decide to do business with those deters so a lot of banks have shied away from that. >> daniel, given that this industry has been estimated to be a multimillion dollars industry, how do banks reconcile the fact that while this banking is now legal in colorado, it is still illegal at the federal level? >> they don't reconcile

that, and i think that's part of the problem. they are afraid of all the potential regulatory pitfalls of doing business with these dealers just because this administration says it is okay to do business with marijuana dealers who are still -- their business still illegal on the federal level, the next administration may change it's mind. and then all of those banks would be liable for doing business with folk whose are still trading an illegal substance, at least federally. >> joining us live, thank you so much for being with us this afternoon. >> thank you. >> coming up, a group of reporters exposed the violence and corruption in nigeria, why they say they can do a better job from right here in the united states. >> and we will take you inside a rodeo at a prison, where some of the world's most violent criminals are the entertainment.

claimed responsible for aat string of bombings as well as the kidnapping of more than 200 school girls. but for many nigerians the presidents words simply isn't good enough. so now they are turning to a website called a hair rah reporters. >> and is it is runed by an exile journalist. the quarters in new york, as he joining us now. >> i spend a day in the newsroom with the journalists, they say they can cover nigeria better than in the country. now with the colder captivating it is gaining even more fans. >> from this protest in new york, to it's followerring

online, reporters is covering news that inflames nigeria attorneys while winning fans. more than a million across facebook and twitter. another million and a half visit is the website every month, they are mostly in nigeria. >> disdent fled nigeria in 1999, seven years laider ehe founded scuderia reporters to public and broadcast what he called the truth about africa's most pop list nation. >> he says journalists in nigeria are too often too afraid to publish the truth themselves. >> inside, the structures are not made to be -- to publish freely about what is happening in the country. and that is a void that scuderia has come to to feel. >> the site remains mainly on tips from anonymous sources.

they have hemmed reporters break stories on the kidnapping of the school girls. >> were you able to report before the media inside nigeria? is. >> yes, we did. i had a lot of local media outlefts. >> and you announced that it was boko haram. >> yeah, of course. >> because they were afraid to? >> yeah. where the kidnapping took place, but despite the sources on the ground, the the resources here, they are having trouble just like everyone else getting reliable information. >> the government is giving no information. in fact, they have created more confusion about the particulars then you can imagine. >> the story of the skid p thatted girls reflecting the governments incompetence and lack of openness. >> so this is just one of the symptoms of the disease of the governance. >> human rights groups say there is some freedom for

public debate, but some get harassed and arrested. and he says he has received anonymous death threats. >> and i want to keep doing this work, and we cannot afford to stop. >> reporters runs partly on grants from two american foundations. it is just a symptom of larger misgovernance. they are doing a lot of uncovering of it. >> thank you. >> joining us now is the publish of reporters. first of all, let me get your reaction to the fact that the girls have gotten so much media attention, have yet to be found. >> boko haram is carrying out

more attacks. as i walked into the studio today, they are just blown up the bridge linking nigeria to cameroon. where they killed over 300 people on monday. soner activity abducting more girls as they did on sunday is night. the nigeria government according to people in the area have not come around. today is the first time we got a press release from the military that visited. today, for the first time since the abductions took place. the government of nigeria is not even going after the abducted girls. we have -- on our side, explaining what happened. and despite knowing in advance that the terrorists are coming the government did not protect the girls so it took the villagers on their own to mobilize.

and some of the girls on their own, are jumping off, broken down vehicles and escaping from the terrorists, about 54 of them. so we still have in the junele with boko haram over 235 kids. and the way to describe it is to say if they would have heard that -- 234 people were hijacked by some terrorists. president jonathan said the abduction will be the end of terrorism in nigeria, but according to you the attacks continue in the wake of his statement, is seven floors simply unwilling to use mir tail force. s there a level of incompetency? >> the president is running an incompetent government, they live in la la land. as we speak they are having a forum, drinking champagne,

whereas the rest of the world is wornries about how these girls can be retrieved and recovers from the terrorists. they will bring back the girls or they will stop terrorism. he says that every time there's a microphone in front of him, and i think he has a -- to just make this kind of very hopeless, pronounsments because that's what he thinks the rest of the world wants to hear. we are no longer interested in retorics. people want to see action. they want to see terrorists stopped from killing innocent civilians and also the army, also stopped killing innocent civilians because of what they have done, in most of the cases is go after a village, and throw bombs on them without any planning to skill innocent civilians. this is a lot of residents from nigerian forces because they have been as brutal in several cases as the

antiterrorism. >> the leader boko haram claimed that he was going to sell these girls into slavery, put them on the open market, from the penal you have talked to in nigeria, have you -- do you have any credibility information that these girls have been sold, and is what is the hope that any of these girls will be rescued? >> i don't think they are going to sell the girls. i think the girls will be used mostly as a negotiating tool. they will use them as a shield there is not that much of a market for boko haram to sell people. what they are doing is is making a big statement, in terms of the powers and the ability to carry on attacks. against nigerian government, and to get -- into further prominence, as a major terrorist group in africa today, and they are getting all the attention they want. so coming out with the videos

that they are going to sell these girls means they may be able to negotiate. just like they got a lot of money from the french government, but most importantly, it is necessary to say this has become a very very huge regional problem. it has created a territory that is -- cameroon, chad, and nigeria. and they have create add territory where the government of this four countries have not been able to control them. that territory has expanded and the more they expanded the more atrocities they will commit, and the more you will receive from boko haram. and the more helpless the nigerian government. and it's also good to say that this is likely as a result of a corruption in nigeria. because the leaders of the army, are pocketed moneys meant for soldiers on the war front. boko haram fighters are more motivated and better equips

than nigerian soldiers and they are just abandoning the check point. >> thank you so is much for the insight, and is we would love to have you back sometime soon. >> thank you for bringing me. >> in china, the co-chairman of the world's second largest real estate firm has bleeded not guilty to charges of corruption. thomas and raymond waugh are both accused of bribing the head of the civil service with more than $4.5 million in loans and payments. now this is the biggest case that hong kong anticorruption agency has ever handled. and over in south africa, the ruling african national congress party is well on it's way to wing it's fifth election, since the end of apartheid. the election commission says the anc has 63.7% of votes and that's with nearly two-thirds already counted. a win would lighten some of the pressure on current president, who is first term was hurt by some pretty

costly union strikes and accusations of mismanagement. the anc has been in power since nelson mandela won the presidency and apartheid ended 20 years ago. has been indictedded by the country anticorruption commission. sets up a vote that could lead to a five year ban. the opponents have called for her removal for months now, accusing her and her brother of making policy decision ises for personal gain. al jazeera has more. >> it was part of an election pledge. buying rights from farmers at above market prices. to help boost their new mexico. the agency is recommending

progress is also down. people say it's getting harder to cope with rising prices. she is getting tired of the political crisis. >> it was all right at first, but it has gone on for too long. it is getting tiresome, and it doesn't seem like it is going to end. >> both proand antigovernment protestors are planning to hold major rallies other the coming days. many want the country to move on. >> i want it to end peacefully. we are all the same country, we are all tied. but how to move forward when both sides seem so deeply polarized is the difficult part. al jazeera, bangkok. >> a new development in an oklahoma detrain mate's plea to stop his execution. >> maria ins in has those details along with other

but these aren't trained cowboys they are inmates. now the victim would say who cares but what is important, we have is to try to rehabilitate them, so if they don't get out they don't hurt you again, and that is part of the program, and part of our reentry is to do this rodeo. >> or simply the farm, it houses the most dangerous criminals. join the rodeo the rules are somewhat relaxed. allowed to make money to keep the businesses going. but it is the rodeo that attracts the most eight tension. >> there are those that say this is nothing short of an inhumane spectator sport. more than half the ridses are first time offedders that will never see the outside of these walls and injuries are common place.

they say that every precaution is taken. >> they have nothing to lose, i guess. just something fun and different for them to do. >> they have a choice, just like they had a choice what they was doing. they made the choice to some here. >> none of the prisoners are forced to take part, but the $500 prize money, ensures participation is high. and for many it is the highlight of a life behind bars. when i came out here i was instantly hooked. i thank god jesus name, for me to spend the rodeo, because it's been a joy for me, and my family, my family comes every year. >> the average sentence is 95
