>> ukraine is about to hold it's first presidential election since the protest that toppled viktor yanukovych. russian president vladimir putin said that russia will respect the outcome of the election. but as the vote nears, there is growing violence in eastern ukraine. what kind of violence did we see? >> it is very serious violence. it seems to be escalating according to ukrainian officials that we spoke with. but if you look at it over the last 24 and 48 hours these are concentrated attacks. one of them yesterday in which more than a dozens ukrainian soldiers were killed when they came under concentrated ambush fire. and today some buses carrying

ukrainian soldiers into the doneskt area they're trying to secure as many polling stations as they can out there so people can vote on sunday. two buses came under fire. there was probably a very--they were unable to return any kind of gunfire, and there was at least 11 of those, possibly 12 injured and one may have been killed in that attack. and tony we should mention that the authorities came out that the computers in the central election commission came under minor cyberattack. a bug was discovered that if it had been left there it would have nullified elections on sunday. it's been taken very serious, tony. >> there are two leading candidates, how are they reacting to this increasing violence? >> reporter: i had a chance to follow petro poroshenko.

he's accusing russia. >> the russian side is supplying arms, drugs, and soldiers of fortune, which are killing ukrainian people. the ukrainian army covering and defending the women and childr children. >> one more question for you. russian president vladimir putin--oh, we lost him. my apologies, we lost david in kiev. thank you.

the u.s. department said it has suspended u.s. military aid to thailand. this comes as the former president shinawatra was placed under house arrest one day after the military took control after months of protest. we have more from bangkok. >> reporter: well, is shinawatra shinawatra? these are the last pictures of her car as she arrived to report to the new military government as ordered. a senior military officials informed al jazeera that she had been detained, but then allowed to stay at her home under military supervision. an army spokesman on record said that she is being held but treated well, explaining 150 personalities on both sides of the built divide are being contained. >> we would like them to think over the issue so they can be more relaxed and be looked after very well.

v.i.p. treatment. it will not be very long when they are set free. >> reporter: they were held when it was decided they could not agree on a plan to end the crisis and that military should take the place of government. >> i can say that it is not easy for him to do this. and we have from then until now we can see that it's not quite very prepared before. so unprepared coup that he just decide to do it. >> still, a few hundred people did protest. this time against the coup d'etat. after that the military had been conspicuous by their absence in their capital. troops remain in place answer though this is an intersection in the heart of bangkok's commercial district and protest

have already left. >> reporter: it's the start since marshal law was declared. thailand's subjects may express their concerns about the future of the country. >> thailand's military rulers warned they would block any social media webs that hav webs. a federal judge has lifted an order that stopped the military from force feeding a prisoner on hunger strike at the guantanamo prison. the detainee's lawyers are challenging the move, saying it is abusive. >> reporter: there are two prongs to the story. it's a year to the day that president obama agreed to closing guantanamo. and also the federal judge has allowed the military to force feed the prisoner in guantanamo bay, but he's not happy about that. he wants to live. he wants to see his family, but

they don't like the way they're force feeding him. by a tube through the nose down through the stomach. his lawyers say that is abuse. protesters demanding the immediate release of all guantanamo bay prisoners approved for transfer out of u.s. naval base but still there held without charge. >> the frustration stems from the fact that the administration has authority right now to transfer at least the men that it has cleared for transfer. of the 154 men who remain in guantanamo, 77 of them have been approved to leave by every government agency. at least half the prison could be empty. now. >> reporter: that includes the hunger striker cleared for transfer to uruguay when the federal judge ruled may be force fed through a tube by his nose and into his stomach. the charge critical of the dod for refusing to compromise and

find an alternative method that does not inflict so much suffering. >> these harsh force feeding measures are being used as a way to combating these many who are on hunger strike. because of the prevailing mindset at guantanamo and within the department of defense anyone who is on hunger strike is conducting asystem traditional warfare. >> reporter: hhe is a 43-year-od syrian who was recommended for transfer back in 2010. as of right now he's being held without charge three months shy of 12 years. >> his hunger strike is a way for him to protest his continued detention at guantanamo bay. >> reporter: in his case and the case of others cleared for transfer but still at gitmo the protesters blame the slow process on the obama administration. >> in fact, the president promised one year ago that he would restart transfer and reinvigorate the effort to close guantanamo.

the fact that they are still there, still having to hunger strike says something about the president's willingness to follow through on his promises. >> many want guantanamo closed. yet we still have it open. that's what the protest was about. the white house said we urge congress to lift restrictions and rely on the federal court systems. we've seen one or two court trials here and found guilty. do you know how much it costs? $2.7 million per prisoner to keep them in guantanamo versus 78,000 in the federal prison. >> and no one has escaped from a super max prison in the united states. secretary of state john kerry will testify next month on the deadly attack on the u.s. consulate in libya.

mike viqueira is live for us at the white house with more. >> reporter: tony, there has been a change of tactics among washington democrats. over the last 24 to 48 hours, you know about that special committee that john boehner formed at the end of other committee investigations that have gone on now for the better part of two years into the attacks of the bengahzi compound, the american consulate that left four americans dead including ambassador chris stevens. they say there will be seven republicans and five democrats. they said it was a witch hunt to drum up support in an election year. suddenly an about face from nancy pelosi. then we hear from john kerry, they were threatening to subpoena john kerry on the standing committee. not the committee already in

existence chaired by darrell issa. he chairs the over sight committee. kerry gave an offer. i'll testify once but only to one of these committee. darrell issa's committee or the special committee. the up shot, john kerry will be before darrell issa's committee june 12th. democrats see this as a political witch hunt but they do not want to leave republicans to the field to have all attention focused on them without defense in particular the defense of their presumptive although not declared 2016 candidate in hillary clinton, who of course was secretary of state at the time. >> boy, have we seen this fight over bengahzi over and over again. so it will play out again. thank you. president obama has been making changes to his cabinet. the president formerly nominated san antonio mayor julian castro to be secretary of housing and

urban development. and shaun donovan to be the director of management and budget. he'll replace sylvia burwell. castro and donovan will need to be confirmed by the senate. tennessee is looking for ways around the nation-wide shortage of lethal injection drug using the electrocution share. >> reporter: we've been following this issue for a while. several states have had trouble getting the drugs they need for legal injections. that's why several drugs makers in europe are boycotting the u.s. critics say the electric chair is cruel. >> reporter: most inmates who have died on death row have died by lethal injection. >> i've seen inmates who have looked up the whole time.

never looked side to side. then i've seen inmates who look at their family the entire time or try to look at the victim's family. >> reporter: but as states face shortages of the drugs they need they scramble for new sources and mixes. this has led to botched executions like the death of clayton locket last month in oklahoma. tennessee's new law will allow the state to electrocute death row inmates. critics repor look to reports of inmates being set on fire in the 1980's with the smell of charred flesh flowing through the air. but in tennessee that choice will be up to the authority. >> they will decide when some inmates will get electrocution, and it's not up to them, it's up to the warden. other states use lethal

injection or give the inmate a choice. >> reporter: the 32 states that have capital punishment all use lethal injection as a primary method of execution. seven states allow the inmates the option of electric chair. >> you would describe this as torture in any other place, that electrodes were hooked up to an individual, and they're fired with 2,000 volts of electricity. i don't think courts are going to allow this in the long run. >> reporter: the next execution is set for october. tennessee said they're confident they'll get the drugs they need in time but they also say that the electric chair is operational. we reached out to sponsors of the bill, but we did not get any responses. >> almost not surprising, thank you. pope francis about to embark on a trip to the holy land. it's a strictly religious trip but he will be walking a fine line. he is set to meet with leaders

in jordan and israel and the palestineen territories. it will mark a rare reunion of the catholic and orthodox churches. we'll have more from rome. >> reporter: waving the vatican goodbye before his trip to the hollywood land. on saturday pope francis embarks on a trip to jordan, the palestine territories and israel on the 90 anniversary of the meeting between hop pope paul v. >> on saturday i will go to the holy land, the land of jesus. it will be a strictly religious visit. firstly to meet with my brother bartholomew i to mark the 50th anniversary. they will meet again another time, and this is really

beautiful. the second reason is to pray for peace in that land that suffers greatly. i ask you to pray for my visit. >> the trip is officially a pilgrimage, but in a land filled with religious and political divisions every step will be watched closely by israelis and palestinians alike. one of them will be yousef salmon, he is one of millions who are not allowed to return home. >> the pope doesn't have an army, but he has an exceptional moral and political influence, so everything he says will be listened to. >> the trip is far from controversy before it even started. the pope will visit the state of palestine, a recognition of th the 2012 u.n. resolution that granted palestine an observer

status, a political statement that has raised eyebrows in israel. >> reporter: the head of the jewish community in rome said that the pope made concessions too easily. >> for the first time the pope will lay a wreath on the tomb of theodore hertzel. it's a gesture that not many heads of states make. i hope this is a step forward in diplomatic relations between israel and the vatican. >> reporter: hate crimes against christians have increased in israel and the occupied territories, but pope francis has refused to travel in a pul a bullet-proof car. another indication that his trust in dialogue is stronger than their fear of hatred. >> leaders are joining pope will be abraham skorkha.

a and sheik omar aboud, the secretary general of the islamic center. vladimir putin admit sanctions are hitting his country but he says what hurts russia will hurt the west. and the league may not have to force donald sterling to sell his team after all. today he agreed to do it willingly.

>> new development in the case of los angeles clippers owner donald sterling. sterling has been banned from the nba for life jessica taft. >> his wife agreed on something. >> they haven't agreed on much. >> she is a big portion of this getting done. coming from the sterling camp, donald sterling has agreed to allow his wife shelly sterling

to negotiate the forced sell of the los angeles clippers. they hired a lawyer in hopes of keeping the team in his family, but the development because it's shelly who got him to agree, and she herself would be negotiating the terms. now the nba responded with this statement saying we continue to follow the process set forth in the nba constitution regarding termination of the current ownership interests of the los angeles clippers. they'll proceed on the hearing june 3rd. ronald sterling has until tuesday to respond in that scheduled june 3rd meeting. owners can vote him out but that would need a three-quarters or 75% vote. now if you see this in the fact that donald sterling bought the clippers $12 million back in

1981 forbes saying the clippers are worth $575 million. that could even be more than that after everything that has gone on. a lot of people have a big stake in this. one of the terms that shelly sterile something talking about, if they sell that for $1 billion, do you know what the tax would be? $328.5 million. they're also saying that shelly sterling, she wanted to have some type of ownership and right now the nba is saying unless they sell it in its entirety they won't do the deal. >> i feel highly skeptical on this, and i'm curious to see what happens in that meeting coming up in just a few. >> absolutely. >> jessica, thank you. russia's econom economy hasn coping with sanctions for months as the u.s. and europe try to pressure it out of the conflict in ukraine.

putin warned that sanctions on russia will have a knock on a boomerang effect on the west. real money's ali velshi now. great to see you. what happened today? >> everybody has known that russia is suffering under these sanctions. the combination of sanctions, more importantly the number of people who have taken their money out of russia. putin admitted it for the first time today because he's got some good news to report. he basically said that the assets and the sanctions are having a real impact on russia's economy. so far investors have pulled an estimated $68 billion out of the russian economy because of the crisis with ukraine. and he was in the business of wooing foreign investors back. they were hosting an event in st. peter'sberg. it's basically the russian version of the world economic form. a lot of americans stayed out of them because president obama

asked them to boycott the meeting. some americans were there, largely business peep were there, but he had to confront this because he was being interviewed. is russia's economy weakening because of the sanctions? he said yes but yesterday they signed this deal with china, to supply china with 30 years world of natural gas. that gave him some breathing room to say yes, yes, the sanctions are having a detrimental affect, but russia is doing well. >> i know you're going to talk about this in greater detail and what appears to be the softening tone of putin on ukraine. what are you working on? >> we're working on that and the story we've been telling a people on al jazeera, new orleans, it's becoming the new hollywood. it's a great interesting story and a lesson for other cities that are trying to attract business that los angeles is losing. >> and a state we're familiar with, we spent time there. georgia would argue with that as

well. >> and north carolina, they canceled the tax credit that was inviting people there to make movies. it's an interesting story. >> the european union is holding it's first election since the euro zone debt crisis, and nowhere is it more pronounced than greece, which is struggling to dig out of a mountain from death. we have more now from athens. >> you know a country has a problem when even the rich aren't happy in this luxury car dealership isn't having a good time at all. >> he speaks bitterly of the state persecuting those who still have money from spending it. >> they're trying to say that they're getting better, which is not true. we have certain figures that are better, but these figures don't

filter down t. >> if the rich are disillusioned, so many others have more questions than answers: >> the issue in greece is for young people to find a better future. we need to leave something good behind. >> these pensioners say the old ways of thinking are causing problems for future generations. >> it's a problem that goes back many years. greece always survived on foreign money. >> reporter: the greek economy has shrunk by 25% since the last european elections. parties from all sides have been able to inspire people with a vision of where greece goes from here. the consequence of all this has been the fragmentation of greek politics, particularly on the left, the party which ruled greece for years and years has disappeared without trace. in these elections greek voters will be offered a choice of 46

different parties. even all around athens shows how these politics plays out. in one square the far right golden dawn hold as local rally. they are nearly 10%. down the road there is a brand new party called river, the se setting very ancient political discussion. and after three months old they have 7% of the vote. >> first things the parties think about is what they need to do to get into government. this should not be the way they should look at it. they should be finding answers. >> reporter: if there is anything good to be said about greece's troubles, perhaps it's because people are still talking politics but all sharp politicians claim to be new.

>> we'll go to kiev's new elections. and say goo goodbye to hollywoo. we'll show you how louisiana is attracting big budge budget fild creating new jobs.

>> in the days following a popular unrising in ukraine there were hopes that the new government would lead the country into a brighter future. but calling for pro russian groups, they have left ukraine even more fractured. it is the first vote since viktor yanukovych was removed from power. president putin aggravated he

would respect the outcome. joining us, it's good to have you on the program. i know its late--well, it's first thing in the morning there, so thank you for staying up with us. take a moment here and assess for me the threat to this election this weekend from the pro russian militants in the eastern part of the country. >> well, i don't think that they are a threat to the election overall. they are active in two of the eight russian speaking regions of eastern and southern ukraine, so we're talking about 25 districts. there are estimates if it could

be polled in the polling regio s of doneskt and luhansk. >> how likely is it thin that a mostly successful, mostly pauseful election could actually be a turning point in this crisis? well, it's a turning point in the sense that it varies in history the president who fled bacback to russia. he can no longer say that he is the legitimate elected president of ukraine. they can begin to start a new chapter. that's very important. it's important that there is going to be a high turnout. i was just on the ukrainian, one of these marathon talk shows, and they gave very high figures

for the turnout that people are predicting for sunday. people have been coming out not only to vote, but also to show their support for the united ukraine. so there is a whole range of factors why this election has symbolic value. it's not just an election of leader, who will be recognizing ukraine in the west. it's also turning the chapter on the new history and also people having a way to show their patriotism by going to the vote. >> who are the leading candidates, and give us a biographical sketch. we know that one candidate is a billionaire. he's known as the candy man, and then the former prim prime minir yulia tymoshenko. >> there are three be but probably to, petro poroshenko described as the "willy wonka" of eastern europe.

he's quite far ahead. he's a big flip flopper. because he's a businessman and in this part of the world if you are in business you need to have very good relations with the president. he has gone and aligned himself with every president including the previous one who fled office, viktor yanukovych. that is something that will haunt him, that's part of his skeleton in his cupboard. yulia tymoshenko everybody knows about because the west talked a lot about her in the last four years about her unlawful imprisonment. more on the radical edge, i would say. for example she supports n.a.t.o. membership to ukraine there is another candidate trailing behind them from the former party regions, serhiv

tigipko. ukraine usually have a second round. so i suspect it's going to be tymoshenko. >> president putin said that he thinks this is a step in the right direction, he'll respect the outcome. what does that mean for vladimir putin, and is he going to do what he's going to do regardless of his public statement at this point? >> well, nobody in the west if they're public and honest including high-ranking state department people believe a word that comes out of vladimir putin's mouth these days, including foreign minister lavrov. that's the reality. zero trust of anything that the russian leadership say. the fact that they're saying they're opposed to the referendums held in doneskt, and

now they support the elections is not something that will be taken with any credence in the west. they'll be taken with a big bag of salt. at the same time russia is going to continue to try to create disorder, provide support. i mean, today and yesterday's fighting and battles with the ukraine military were not done by just peasant guerrillas. they were done by organized, well trained forces which could only come from russia. russia wants to portray ukraine with the use of this as a--as a country which is in civil war,, and is in some kind of failed state, as it were. and that something that will continue. i mean, they try to portray that. so it's going to be a good cop-bad cop approach to ukraine, we will see. >> we'll let you go so you can

get your call. research associate with the canadian institute of ukrainian studies. joining us from kiev. >> we'll see. thank you very much. >> the head of the african union is in the rebel stronghold. to broker peace talks rebels have agreed to a cease-fire for peace talks. and the y.'s nuclear watchdog agencies said iran has cut it's nuclear rich stock pile by 80%. a report also found iran is courcooperating with an investigation in iran's nuclear capabilities. the temporary deal reduced economic sanctions in exchange for iran's atomic program. people in the flood-ravaged

many worry that the floodwaters will push the mines into their community. >> reporter: when the dirty water poured through his village it was up to his chin. now the water is gone. 's too scared to walk in his garden. >> it's much more dangerous than it was. it's very hard because we don't know what was in the floodwater. we don't know whether there is a mine there or not. >> reporter: it's thought 120,000 unexploded devices still contaminate the land in bosnia, and signs marking some fields have disappeared with the floodwaters. it's only now that the floodwaters are receding, and it could create an international problem if the mines travel down stream toward europe. it's expected to cost $400 million for "o" to demine,

and that's expected to rise. they're already counting the cost of the wide devastation, and the economic impact of these floods will be felt for years to come. >> an entire city faced with contaminated water. roxana saberi is back with that story and other headlines making news. >> reporter: really, tony. the entire city of portland, oregon, is under a water boil warning. they're advised to boil tap water for a minute before using it to drink, prepare food or brush their athlete teeth. officials do not know how the e. coli got into the water. >> conditions that expose water to outside elements such as open reservoirs. we may never discover the actual cause of the contamination. >> the warning will remain in effect until the water is safe.

increasingly common sight in new orleans as features are produced in california have moved south. it's all down to an incentive program offering production companies big tax breaks and it's worked. louisiana is now the top location for blockbuster movies, and that represents a major change in the movie business. >> last year louisiana made more than $1 billion from the film industry, but all this is more than cold hard cash as the industry has matured. there are lots of job opportunities and now well-established businesses runly local people. >> reporter: it's estimated that the film business has created 14,000 jobs, a number equal to the seafood industry. when tax incentives were launched 12 years ago few had no idea it would be so successful. >> now we're servicing the film industry, georgia, canada and new york even china.

>> reporter: one of those businesses by longs to new orleans' local andre champagne. he started his hollywood trucks company with just a handful of vehicles. now he has a fleet of more than 300 and said the success is down to incentives to hiring locals. >> it effects so many job title and positions. it's one of the greatest economic development business incentives and stimulant packages i've ever seen. >> reporter: louisiana's new found fame as hollywood of the south has also seen skilled workers moving to the state from the industry's more traditional locations. for many it's a change they don't regret. >> the work will come and get you. you don't have to find the work. here you can really be a big fish in a small pond. in los angeles, i don't care who you are you're a very small fish in a very big pond. >> reporter: so the next time you buy a ticket to watch the latest blockbuster chances are it was made here in the hollywood of the south.

season is going to be less than average year. in the eastern pacific it will be above average. here is amanda right here off the coast of mexico. the next few days it's going to make a turn to the northwest and then to the north. we don't think, though, it's going to be any impact, the reason being the water temperature here we're talking about 86 degrees as it moves north. the water temperature cools quite drastically. so we're going to be seeing a lot of that fool diminish. as we go later in the season that water temperature will increase. as the storms push through we'll have a bigger chance going towards baja mexico. now we have a mere yore shower tonight--meteor shower. this storm is--the meteor shower is going to make its way in the great lakes or in the south any time after midnight you may have

penalties for crack was far greater than those for powder cocaine. florida is among many states as well as the federal system that give prosecutors discretion when it comes to instituting the mandatory sentences. >> we're not going to fill these prisons with hypothetical soccer mom who had two or three pills over her precipitatio prescript. we have the discretion to wave off minimum mandatory. >> reporter: a former public defender said that most of the mandatory minimum sentences should be dispensed with. >> because the prosecutor has that much discretion it's not applied uniformly. another thing black people are affected far more than white people. >> reporter: congress eased the disparity between crack and

shooting, crime was out of control. inmates were serving a third of their sentence. >> reporter: critics say manned tournament minimum trap people like wollard in the system. but what happens when no mandatory minimums are enforced for certain gun crimes. a murder of an honor student captured national attention and inspired a mandatory minimum gun bill in chicago. michael ward and kenneth williams had been charged with their murder. >> to bury your child, it's so hard. >> the person that murdered our daughter, he wants out already on a gun charge. had he been there and had he had mandatory minimum, he would not
