the federal ruling by a judge halting implementations is political cover. and a way to avoid an impasse. >> we have an exit sign. and that is that the federal court decision saying that the president's actions unilaterally are unconstitutional. >> and, antonio mora it pores on monday the majority leader may have blinked first in the standoff. he proposed a bill decoupling the funding from the president's executive order. he wants republicans and democrats to have an opportunity to vote on it. it means funding for the department will go forward in a shut down, and is can be avoided. >> mike viqueira at the white house, thanks. security tighter than ever at shopping malls across the country in response to a video from al-shabab, acknowledge al qaeda-linked group in somali. the largest somali enclave is a

few miles from the nation's largest mall. >> reporter: does the al-shabab methods resonate with the young people in the community? >> i'm afraid it does. al-shabab and i.s.i.s. have effective machines. >> reporter: this is a community under the microscope. in light of the threat to the minnesota mall of america, the largest shopping center people are on edge. >> there's a fear backlash. amongst everything it's simply struggling to get attention. >> it's not without reason. in 2013, they attacked the mall in nairobi, kenya. more than 60 people died. since 2007 more than 20 somali men have been recruited. the riverside neighbourhood is known as little mogadishu, home to thousands of somali

americans. it is lined with ethnic shops and restaurants. shopkeepers said they just want to go about their business even though the day to day struggles are sometimes overshadowed by political forces thousands of miles away. religious leaders met to discuss panic. the iman said it's a matter of staying proactive. >> we tell them not to panic, and tell them that the government is strong government. and they know what they are soiping. -- doing. based on intelligence we know what we do. >> reporter: last week members of the somali community took part in the summit on combatting extremism. while the somali community waits and watches what happens next local state and federal

we need to be convinced that any use of our forces is necessary, will be sufficient that we fought through, not just the first step but the second step and the third step. >> carter went to kuwait after visiting afghanistan, and met with u.s. troops and the leaders. carter said the u.s. may slow the pace of troop withdrawals from afghanistan. in nigeria, officials say a 7-year-old girl under the control of boko haram was responsible for a deadly suicide bombing. five people were killed. it happened as the u.s. military was wrapping up a training exercise in chad helping to teach african troops how to fight boko haram. >> the chadian soldiers are part of a group trained by the army. it's an exercise designed to help countries fight violent

groups. the focus is how to fight boko haram. >> what they take away is better cohesion cooperation with each other and other nation their african partners, their western partners. >> the increased activity comes as president jonathan goodluck told nigerian media that he underestimated boko haram's capacity. during the interview he promised the group's ability to launch attacks. >> we are not full yi equipped and ready to fight the war. over time like you said before the military has neglected. they didn't have the capacity. recently jets have been acquired. the army navy.

i think our military to take on boko haram. >> in the last week they have taken on many towns. sol of the soldiers are confident that the training will happy to defeat the group. >> boko haram is a militia made of civilians, they don't have the same experience as we have. we are well organised. they scant resist us. -- can't resist us. >> reporter: it may feel too little too late for those that lost loved ones nearly a million families from here jos, have lost their homes. >> suicide bombers have wounded and killed many on sunday. >> more trouble for the ceasefire deal.

more weather. >> in northern parts of the state of texas into the panhandle. six inches of snow and rain. you were talking about the dallas airport. over 4,000 flights cancelled from saturday. now turning states like mississippi, alabama, georgia. atlanta - more likely to see sleet than freezing rain. it's problematic. there's another system and the temperatures will play a part in where the snow rain line is. we'll have to watch that for you. cold enough. so different advisories overnight.

46 today. yesterday was 78. you dropped over 30 degrees in a day about the cold air coming in. 10, 20, 30 adding in the wind chills, especially in the north-east. it will be brutal. 20-30 below what it will feel like. >> it's brutal in new york. >> coming up an al jazeera exclusive. documents showing a gap between what binyamin netanyahu said about iran's nuclear programme and what the intelligence believed. >> peanutal urgeies could be dangerous, fatal. it could cause conflicts in millions of kids.

u.s. and rain are reporting progress in negotiations towards a nuclear deal. the deadline to an agreement is 36 days away.

john terrett joins us. both countries seem to show willingness to make a deal but within minutes. >> right, that is the point. because it is those limits that could yet be a stumbling block for the talks. it was stressed over the weekend how far they are not willing to go in order to reach a framework deal by march 31st. one official characterised the talks as challenging and productive. smiles for the camera before getting down to work. focussing on technical questions connected to the iran nuclear programs bringing in the top officials. their job, to hash out which capabilities could be kept for a programme, and which could help tehran build nuclear weapons, should be banned. late monday a senior u.s.

official said it helped to sharpen the understanding. and the question of international sanctions on iran was discussed. with five weeks left before a political deal the official told reporters talks were challenging and productive, and they were trying to negotiate in good faith. >> in tehran deputy foreign minister said the iranians wanted a deal that represented a win/win for them in the u.s. the iranians wouldn't be bullied into concessions undermining national security. that was in reaction to secretary of state john kerry's statement on saturday that the u.s. is not willing to negotiate forever. i'm confident that president obama is fully prepared to stop the talks if thee feels they are not met with the kind of productive decision making necessary to prove that a

programme is in fact peace. . >> more talks are likely in the weeks before the march 31st deadline, and so too, the public declarations from both sides, about what they are not willing to concede. >> that march 31st deadline is not firm. officials hope to have a framework agreement in place by then. the final deal doesn't need to be worked out until june. we have seen the negotiations extended before. the deal originally was supposed to be signed done and dusted by last fall. the message is don't hold i don't remember breath. >> and binyamin netanyahu is adamant that iraq is close to building a well i don't know. two democrats invited him to brief them behind closed doors. an investigation in partnership with the guardian showed that their own intelligence agency doubted the nuclear goals.

>> this is a bomb. this is a fuse. >> reporter: it's notorious. the moment israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu warned the united nations of an iranian nuclear bomb. the imagery was simplistic so was the message. >> by next spring at most next summer at current enrichment rates, they would have finished the medium enrichment and move on to the final stage. >> the spy cables reveal behind the scenes a month after the speech israeli intelligence sent a message. this is a secret mossad analysis dated october 2012. iran is not performing the activity necessary to produce weapons. the only warning is for the future. >> it is working to close gaps in areas that arage mate reducing the time required to produce weapons.

from the time it's given. >> the mossad chief hinted at a disagreement that year. he was clear, an attack on iran is not the right way. in the spy cables, mossad estimates rain had 100 kilos of iranian enriched to a level of 20%, that could have been further enriched to make nuclear weapons, iran got rid of it as part of nuclear negotiations. the spy cable shed a new light on the address, and begs the question - why did he get the information. >> for more we are joined by jim walsh, a research associate with the m.i.t. security studies programme. good to see you. i know you had a series of meetings over the years with top iranian officials, including the president. how do you read the tea leaves now. do you think a deal will be

reached. >> i do think a deal will be reached. as the report you showed indicated, the secretary of energy and the head of the iranian atomic energy agency were both in geneva. both m.i.t. grads. you know got to do that. and a bunchts of technical people who have not attended the previous meetings it ain't over until it's over. this looks like they are going to get something, a framework agreement. you and i should talk in april and we'll say whether i was right. >> we'll do that. let's talk about the cables that al jazeera obtained. there has been some consent. but are you surprised there's a substantial difference of opinion about iran's capabilities.

first of all, the documents will be huge. this is the tip of the iceberg. the thing you and i are talking about, iran and mossad is important. my guess is more is coming out. it's part of a pattern for iran watchers like me we see the government and the politicians si one thing and the intelligence community say something else. until today the intelligence community say - this is not a guy this is a smiling face. it's a change in policy. >> on the other hand the documents show that they had 20% enriched iranian. >> yes. >> which could have been enriched to become something useable in a nuclear weapon and yet what happened.

binyamin netanyahu goes before the u.n. saying they are going to do this, and that didn't happen. they stopped enriching at 20%, and there was a joint plan of action an interim agreement where they stopped it and got rid of what they had. there's a difference between what the mossad - it's not just mossad i talked to self intelligence officials in israel and officials in the atomic energy agency there's a gap between what is said privately and the politicians are saying publicly. why is this important? because he's coming next week to give the big speech. >> he's here in a week. >> exactly. >> what effect will it have on the speech in washington? >> it's a great question. ch is the most controversial speech.

organised behind the president's back with an israeli operative. never done before and in the middle of an israeli election campaign who knows what will happen. the timing is crucial. documents are important. timing is crucial because it comes at a moment when it looks like we are going to get an agreement and at the same time he is reviving the talk. >> jim walsh, thank you a prominent climate change sceptic in the u.s. has been taking money from oil companies for years. now we know how much he's been paid crews watching to save more than a dozen manapies trapped in a storm train.

scientists have shown again that peanuts themselves can be a cure for peanut allergies, the latest study took place in england. infants given a small amount of peanuts were less likely to develop allergies by the time they were five. the number of children with peanut allergies skyrocketed over the past 20 years, and it could be in part due to advice not to feed young children peanuts. researchers have been warning for years that the impact of -

about the impact of climate change. but some scientists insist the nears are channelling rated. tonight, as paul beban reports, newly released documents are raising questions about one prominent sceptic's research. >> have we received money from exxonmobile... >> this is dr willie sune a researcher at the harvard smithsonian center for aft ra physics, with a doctorate. he is a climate sceptic saying greenhouse gases have little or nothing to do with climate change. skeptics like him are a tiny minority, but have huge influence when it comes to politicians who want to block action on climate change. dr sune doesn't deny receiving money from the oil industry but denies that it had influenced

research. >> i'll write and they choose to fund me. the only condition is same thing, i will never be motivated by money for anything. >> the environmental group green piece disagrees. it had released documents that suggest dr sume's ties to oil and energy companies are closer and more extensive than previously known. over the last 10 years, the documents say ha has received more than 1.2 million from the fossil fuel industry while publishing papers and scientific journals without saying who was writing the checks. >> what the doctor has done is not disclosed conflicts of interest. he's paid by a coal company, and a foundation founded by billionaire charles coke and submitted 11 papers to journals

and didn't disclose these page. >> the smithsonian says it's concerned and will launch a re view. he has not responded to questions about the documents. the group says it's part of the face ill fuel strategy to sow seeds of doubt about climate change. >> the harm is the lack of transparency when the public is trying to decide if this is a problem. scientists are telling you don't worry, polar bears are fine. it's poisoning the debate finally, rescuers in florida are racing to save as many as 15 m maniies stuck in a storm drain near melbourne. firefighters have been working for hours. the sea creatures were probably looking for warm water when they got trapped. a young calf and her mother were among the first pulled from the pipe. i'm antonio mora thank you for
