assassinateed. boris nemtsov one of vladimir putin's harshest criminals, shot by the kremlin. also fernando gomez 90 in police custody. progress but no break throughs yet as washington negotiates a new relationship with havana.

and trading one life for another. these africans. >> i chose this because i found a job. >> welcome to al jazeera america's international news hour i'm stephanie sy. >> and i'm antonio mora. we are following a breaking story out of moscow, the murder of opposition leader boris nemtsov, gufned down dwunned down less than two -- gunned down less than two days before he was to lead a rally against putin. victoria gatten by has the

story. by has the story. >> nemtsov was an outspoken critic of putin he had been governor of one ever russia's biggest cities. after leaving you parliament in 2003 he had helped establish and led several opposition parties. he was murdered just two days before a major opposition rally he was due to take parts in. russian president vladimir putin has condemned the murder, taking the investigation of his murder under his personal control. victoria you geant gatenby, al jazeera. earlier tonight senator you

expheanringyou you johnsenator youexphean senators you john mccainsenator be john mccain retweeted a picture of him. >> they are a rare and endangered breed in russia. opposition figures of fru and are few and far between. he would speak very plain shoot from the hip and he would call a spade a spade as some people would say. he said that putin was corrupt and he told me in sochi when he was campaigning for mayor there before the olympics because he simply wanted to have some place

to lamp a launch a political plats form for freedom of press and speech in russia. fight the facts he was a former deputy prime minister he ran for mayor of sochi. i said, boris you're not going to get elected here you're north going to get on television what are you doing here? he says i believe in the end all of them will go to jail and i believe it will happen in my lifetime. >> and of course he exposed corruption in the sochi winters olympics, through a report. as investigators look at motive, his colleagues said he was preparing a report that showed are corruption in ukraine, can you comment on that? >> he was preparing a report that essentially said putin was the guy who pulled the trigger on ukraine, he was the guy who ordered troops in, troops have

gone in despite putin's denials and he was the one that set the fire in ukraine and he is responsible. he even told a magazine earlier this month that because of his criticism of putin's policies and actions in ukraine that he feared for his life and he believed that he might be murderand he told that to a magazine. so i mean this is a chilling event in moscow. there have been murders of journalists, there have been murders of prosecutors, there have been murders of some political opposition figures but this guy i can't think of a larger opposition figure in russia than boris nemtsov. he was supposed to be attending and helping to organize a rally which is supposed to take place on sunday condemning putin and his involvement in ukraine. what's going to happen on the street. it's going to be very very interesting, it is potentially a seismic political event that has just taken place in russia. i don't think tomorrow it is

going to be the same then. >> a lot of questions about timing. dana lewis, thank you. earlier i spoke to fred wier. wier believes someone is trying to make waves in russia's political system. >> putin's spokesman said it had all the earmarks of a contract killings. people got out of a car shot him in the back between four and seven times got in their car and drove away. it was a gang land-style hit against him. and putin's president putin's spokesman said it was likely a political provocation. so it's -- >> what does that mean? >> well, it means that putin wants to make it very clear that he isn't responsible. but of course boris nemtsov was one of the most prominent

opponents of the kremlin. he was a former deputy prime minister he was at one point considered a presidential contender. he has made the anti-putin case more eloquently than any other politician. and on sunday, we are to have a big rally the first big opposition rally in moscow in many, many months and nemtsov was to have been a featured speaker there. so it -- i mean the killing coming at this time throws a wrench into everything in moscow. it makes moscow look like a wild and lawless place. of course it casts suspicion on the kremlin and the kremlin haws moved very past in damage-control mode to cast suspicion anywhere else it possibly can. >> that is the question. who other than the kremlin would be interested if this was a contract killing? and as you said, nemtsov was an

early opponent of putin when putin started rolling back democracy at the turn of the evacuee, just after the turn of the century. so who other than putin and his allies would have an interest in killing this man? >> this is a very big and complicated country. it's not simply putin plus one. and there are a lot of political forces including forces to the right of putin who might very well wish to create this kind of a -- well i think little political crisis. >> what will the repercussions be? >> well, i think at the rally on sunday there will probably be a far greater turnout than there might otherwise have been. i mean as i said, boris nemtsov was not an obscure personage everyone knows his name and the shock will run in waves through this society.

>> how much power, how much of a thorn in putin's side was nemtsov? >> well, you know this is a country where, in the last century alone two great states have collapsed. and gone move. and their ideology, their security, everything went. and so if you're sitting in the kremlin, as putin is and having created a version of that traditional russian state you're going to be worried on principle. opposition figures do take on a much largeer countenance than they would in another kind of society. but having said that, i don't think it was in putin's interests to have nemtsov killed. i think it's someone who's doing it for one reason or another to embarrass putin or to royal up the society to -- roil up the

society to create more waves in the political system. it is a very complicated place. it is not simple at all. but there is no question that the killing is going to really change the climate around here. >> opposition leaders say they plan to hold a mourning march for nemtsov on sunday. >> now to our other top story another one of mexico's most wanted drug lords is in custody. police say no shots were fired during his arrest, francisco gomez is wanted in the u.s. for cocaine trafficking. became one of mexico's most ruthless and wanted cartel leaders. as head of the knights templar coercion of business and political leaders. he also had a $2 million bounty

on his head and part of president pena nieto's most wanted. jom holmanjohn holman is in mexico city. >> one of mexico's most wanted men taken without a shot. francisco gomez known as la tuta, ran one of the largest drug organizations, knights templar. extorting farmers shopkeepers and anyone who they could squeeze extortion from. gomez said he was a man of the people. >> at that time i was a born trafficker, they wanted to kidnap my family and i didn't allow that. i'm not going to compare myself from any character from history. i don't want to make the comparison and i'll tell that you very easily.

but why did pancho villa and em emelio zapata. establish rule of law.about. >> under the past few years the cartel was under threat, first from vigilantes, then from a federal offensive in the state of michoacan. authorities conducted man hunts across the state of michoacan to find him. his capture could giver a boost to president enrique pena nieto in the be aftermath of 43 students being kidnapped and killed in guerrero state last year. aing recent list of killings say michoacan's problems go beyond just one man.

john holman, al jazeera mexico city. today several strong cartels are struggling for power. >> sin lowealoa cartel operates as a confederacy of cartels. >> led by five brothers, four have now been arrested. the cartel moves cocaine from throughout mexico to the u.s. corridor along the u.s. mexico border into texas. it has loins egg with alliances with the sin sinaloa cartel. against other cartels the

group of's brutal methods led to a vigilante revolt. chief of international operations for dea the dea. are you surprised with the anticlimactic apprehension of la tututa and the timing? >> i was actually surprised that la tuta was taken alive because he has professed for a number of years that he would never be taken alive by mexico's security forces. but this morning when he was arrested and not a single shot was fired and he gave himself up you know very readily. >> tell us more about la tuta and how knights knights templar was different than other cartels?

i know he named his cartel and had a code of conduct. >> the knights templar are a break away organization from the familia, la tuta became the ruthless head of this cartel and he probably had one of the most convoluted mind sets of any cartel leader. he had this code of ethics where he professed that his devotion to god and family, but at the same time, with would dismember his rival. he was trafficking a lot of methamphetamine. at one time he controlled all of the meth am methamphetamine traffic in mexico. >> this was a big deal, coupled with arrest of joaquin el chapo guzman, does it mean the mexican

government is close to destroy these networks? >> the pena nieto administration has actually crippled a lot of these cartels. the biggest arrest obviously was chapo guzman about a year ago. so the capture of gomez la tuta probably has been the biggest one since the capture of el chapo a year ago. the impact remains to be seen. we don't know if the vacuum is going to create a splintering and infighting within the knights templar. we do know that there is a lot of conflict right now between the knights templar and the new generation cartel, based jalisco, mexico. >> how do the arrest of these

big king pins actually affect the drug trafficking in mexico or for that matter here in the u.s? >> a lot of the organizations are crippled as a result of that. there is a lot of in-fighting for geographical areas especially along the border area. however, the movement of drugs and i'm talking about heroin, marijuana, cocaine still continues across the board. i think that the leadership has been crippled and when you talk about the other setas the other organizations, the only remaining significant cartel leader that remains is mioio simbada that assumed the reins of control when chapo was captured. >> thank you for joining us this

evening. sticking points still remain between washington and havana. >> and bridging the gaps. >> how a california teenager turned legos into lifesaving object for the blind.

>> in context tonight, the second round of talks between u.s. and cuban diplomats. >> although they ended on a hopeful note, rosalyn jordan reports one major hurdle has not been overcome. >> stephanie and antonio they feel their teams have made some progress but feeling good about the efforts to reestablish diplomatic relation he between the two countries but there's a big sticking point. that's the fact that the u.s. has placed cuba on its state sponsor of terrorism list and

even though there's a review as to whether cuba should be removed from the list, they disagreed with how to to resolve this situation. >> it's not a true condition but a very important priority for cuba that we hope is addressed. and is solved. in the process towards the reestablishment of diplomatic relations. >> today was productive and encouraging. in open honest and sometimes challenge yet always respectful conversation we addressed the requirements of each side and the differences we identified in our first discussion in havana, a month ago. >> reporter: now there were some areas on friday where the lead teams made some progress and they included some agreements on how to deal with things such as improving internet access to the island, trying odeal with preserving and producing the marine life on the

island and the tricky issue of human rights, some which the two sides have long disagreed on. stephy and antonio back to you. >> thank you rosalyn. john havelick, good to have you with us. both sides say they're optimistic but is did anything noteworthy emerge from today's talks in d.c? >> the fact that the talks are taking place isalities a good thing. the fact that we have -- is always a did thing. first round in havana, second in the u.s., third is the more important. the first two media and members of congress who are watching and governments from throughout the world, you are going to understand you get together the first time get to know one another try lay out your positions. but by the time you get to the third meeting there needs to be concrete agreements and i think

time line requiring something to happen or a group of things to happen before the summit of the americas in panama is a good thing put some pressure on them. >> it does but the third round still has not been scheduled and the big divide seems to be as rosalyn jornldrosalyn jordan showed us, secretary kerry said it cannot be a part of the negotiations. is there any doubt the obama administration is going to go ahead and do it? >> no. they're going to do it. i think one of the challenges for the boumddiene isfor the obama administration is, the removing ever cuba from the state sponsored terrorism l i think the administration is

attempting to delink them but the reality is they are very much linked. and cuba needs to come off the list because in order for any of president obama's december initiatives ohave some teeth particularly in the finance side cuba's got to get off that list. >> they are limited from any kind of banking operations because of being on that list, right? talking about the time pressure -- >> yes -- >> time pressure you mentioned even if they decided to remove cuba from the list my reading of how this works there's no way this can happen before the april 10th summit of the america where presidents obama and castro are going to see each other. the u.s. says it wants normal relations since then. so is cuba going to have to be one that compromises? >> president obama and i'm going to use him specifically, but presidents are able to interpret laws, interpret regulations

interpret previously issued executive officer orders. yes, the legislation and the rules written require that 45-day notification. but we've already heard during the last several weeks from officials in the obama administration both on the record and off the record that they may feel there's a work-around. whether members of congress agree with that is going to be another thing. but i think that clearly the united states is more interested than cuba in having a flag raising in havana along the malacon before the panama event. from the cuba afnn standpoint, that isn't that important to them. their interest of venezuela is far more than their interest in the united states at the moment because since the december announcements, cuba has got an lot of benefit without having to do anything and that's hard to take away. from the cuban stand i don't

like to say they're sitting pretty but they're in a good position to basically say to the administration, this is sort of what we need, and you need to find a way to do it. >> on the other hand, venezuela struggling and we'll have more on that later on in the show, john cavelic of the u.s. trade and economic council pleasure to have you with us. thank you. optimism about the warming relations, andy gallagher spoke with a couple who went to dance their way to prosperity. >> reporter: this is the brandon city ballet in central florida, a small dance company with large ambitions. its autistic director okay taif director

defected. they all came to the u.s. for a better life but they're realistic about the pace of change. >> it's going to take time from both countries in my humble opinion to kind of get to a good relationship and you know, something that can be really good for the cuban people. >> all three of these cuban dancers that made the long but difficult journey to this small dance company are watching the negotiations carefully. tempered by expectations of what might happen in the months ahead. andy gallagher al jazeera brandon, florida. >> while the soldiers withdraw their weapons doctors and nurses in ukraine are having to deal with another crisis. when we come back. >> the terrible impact on the children in the quon flict zone. >> we'll talk to the daughter of the jailed mayor of caracas. that's next on al jazeera
