11:24 pm
>> reporter: what is worrying people are how easy it is to radicalize and recruit to groups like al shabaab. are the government is having difficult time dealing with the security situation because some of the people that are suspected of carrying out the attacks are kennians. kenyans. local leaders say it's a problem that must be dealt with. >> we will fight for the country. it is an ideology, it is embedded in religion. we will talk our people, we will defeat it william. we will defeat radicalization. >> a son from a government official another man suspected of planning the attack and who remains in hiding, is said to be a kenyan based in garrissa.

11:30 pm
virginia. closing statements are set for tomorrow in accused boston marathon bomber dzhokhartsarnaev. the defense rested only hours after beginning its case. if the defendant is found guilty he could force the death penalty. sun night and time to look at our regular week ahead. the summit of the americas has been held every three years since 1984. the chance for north south and central america to come together and discuss issues of the region. we begin with the report on cuba from david air yoa arioso. >> whether castro and president obama will shake hands if that happens, it will be a handshake for the ages.
11:31 pm
castro's government seems to be focusing on two things, raising those flags. both cuba and the united states want their official embassies to finally open in havana and washington. there is every indication that the u.s. is willing to play baw. after those two ball. we can start talking about what normalized relations between these two countries really means. the u.s. has slapped sanction he against venezuela and president nicholas maduro is likely to be a thorn in the side of president obama, expect all of this to play out at this year's summit of the americas. >> president cristina kirchner last been friends with cuba, but what most concerns argentina is
11:32 pm
their diplomatic push to try get britain to the negotiating table over the future of what they call the malvenas islands what britain called the falkland islands, very tense relations between britain and argentina. she didn't get what she wanted at the last summit of the americas in cartajena. whether the rest of latin america is concerned we'll have to see. they will certainly be expecting solidarity with argentina whether that amounts to very much in the long term is very unlikely. >> mexico city philanthropic penaenrique penanieto will be looking
11:33 pm
to show mexico as an example for the rest of the region. what he'll be less keen on talking about is a difficult last few months for him and his government, chief among the scandals and problems he has encountered is the disappears ever 43 students, the local government being involved in that disappearance. show himself and mexico on a more positive light on an international stage. he'll be meeting outside of the summit with the president of brazil panama and the united states, barack obama in a meeting in which they will talk about trade and economic and social development. so in general for mexico they'll be hoping for a smooth summit in which they can once again show the government as one of the leaders and a country that's moving forward. >> in the week ahead looking forward is david air arioso
11:34 pm
acknowledge great to see you david, now that cuba's invited what's next? >> this is going to be a highly choreographed moment here pep the hope was to raise both their respective flags in havana and washington. that is to be doubted if the paperwork will get signed. but to get cuba on the state sponsored terrorism list, something they've been on in decades now the last shoe to drop to allow for that last key of normalization. there is going to be a ceo summit tide to the summit of the americas on thursday and friday, represents from coca-cola and boeing. cuba needs this money. they're cash strapped so they
11:35 pm
need some of those american either tourism dollars or microfinance that president obama has been talking about. this seems an opportunity to cash in. >> there are major sticking points on both sides that we have to deal with. do we expect -- i know the white house says there is going to be an interaction do we expect a sit down or a photo opportunity for two presidents? >> that's a great question. if i knew that, i would be make more money than i am now. there will obviously be handshake, will there be something more than that, some dialogue? president obama has shaken the hand to president castro before, at the funeral of nelson mandela. but the details of the smaller lesser officials that the state department will iron out these groups of officials have met
11:36 pm
three times already who knows how many times prior to this, when the announcement on december 17th but this will be an historic moment. >> how does president obama address human rights and not step on thes to the toes of cube? >> marco rubio has announced that he's going to make a big statement at the freedom towers, he's going to choreograph this moment trying the get the handshake of michelle president obama and raul castro. they're going to have a seat at the table as well. one of the daughters of a dissident killed in 2012 was detained in panama just over this weekend so there could be some fireworks here. that coupled with president maduro from venezuela the sanctions that have been lobbed
11:37 pm
against his government by obama this is going to be a summit that is worth watching. >> i'm going to go to mike viqueria in just a moment here but are we going to see less isolation against the its? >> you know it's an interesting points. i think the united states is in a strong position right now. you have argentina that is facing an economic crisis, you have elections coming up in that country, you have venezuela that's heavily dependent on oil price of oil is dropped by half, around the $50 a barrel level. united states economy has done relatively well and they've extended that olive branch to cuba. there are far fewer excuses to deal with diplomacy. >> david stand by. mike viqueria has more from washington. >> it isn't going to be just another meeting. the summit of the americas taking place in panama late this week has taken on historic
11:38 pm
overtones. there's likely to be a face-to-face meeting between the american president and raul castro the first encounter since president obama made his surprise announcement late last year that he would normalize relations. last month he said he wanted an american embassy to open in havana before the summit of the americas. but a series of three high level meetings between cuban and american officials has not yielded a break through and that goal will likely not be met. a majorities of americans 51% favored normalizeing relations. latin leaders are expected to press mr. obama to do more to get republicans to go along with immigration reform. and deteriorating relations between the united states and venezuela is also likely to be a sore point after president obama last month ordered sanction he
11:39 pm
against venezuela for alleged human rights violations. the president arrives at the summit in panama on thursday. mike viqueria, al jazeera washington. >> david the focus willen on cuba, you were just in venezuela, and the tension will on the center stage perhaps play out between president obama and nicholas maduro. >> venezuela is heavily dependent on its energy sector, tanking right now. china isn't invited but it is sort of the underwritten code within all of this, there are so many nations within latin america that are heavily heavily endebted to china. venezuela is an interesting one to watch. back during the last summits this was when chavez was sick, he did not attend. maduro was essentially vice
11:40 pm
president at that point and he's coming to the summit now in protest, he's bringing 10 million signatures so he says of residents within his country that say they need to get rid of sanction he against top government officials. keep in mind sanctions are not in place against all of venezuela but sort of speaks to this old world type of mentality that is very much in play within latin america even when this propoappedproposed kumbaya moment between castro and obama. >> both canada and ever since president dilma rousseff dealing with accusations of corruptions in a stalling economy could use
11:41 pm
a strayed boost from the u.s. after china america is brazil's second largest export market and while it's not located in the americas the topic of china is sure to come up. beijing has lent latin america and the caribbean more than $120 billion in the last decade, more than any other entity. joining us from washington d.c jorge castaneda great to have you with us on the week ahead. >> good to see you. >> mr. farnsworth i'll start with you. i know the tone of the leaders is certainly important here. what needs to happen at the summit for any lawmakers to be satisfied moving forward with cuba. >> first off happy easter. >> thank you. >> to show that both countries
11:42 pm
have turned over a new leaf, i think question is going to be, what concrete actions come out of this particular meeting? there will most likely be a handshake, some sort of interaction, we don't know exactly what meeting perhaps. but that's a good first step. but i think the question then-b: what's next? the other question is what will be the posture of the other countries at the summit? this isn't just united states and cuba meeting but all the other countries of the americas. they don't like the united states, whether or not there is a rapprochement with cuba. whether or not it could be an issue is real and pressing and the fact of the matter is that it could steal some of the thunder with regard to the positive feeling between u.s. cuba. >> you bring up an important point. mr. castaneda what is the
11:43 pm
dialogue that should be between united states and venezuela. >> there should be a dialogue between the u.s. and venezuela and the interim community brutal violation of human rights basic freedoms and of representative democracy. unfortunately, it looks like as always, the latin americans will not want to take on venezuela on this issue. nor will the united states, because it does not seem to want to have a discussion or public debate with venezuela getting in the way of the rapprochement with cuba. that's probably the right stance for president obama to take. but it will increase the cost for him domestically. he's not only going to be perceived by the republican right wing as caving into raul castro but also as caving to nicholas maduro and that's not
11:44 pm
necessarily a good thing. my impression is he'll try to compensate for that by meeting with the wives of the two leading venezuelan opposition leaders, lee leopoldo lopez and. >> simply going to focus solely on their own economy and innovation? >> i think it matters a lot because latin america's economy broadly is predicted to have some turbulence. some of that is related to china's slowing some of it is related to commodities and other
11:45 pm
factors. the summit of the americas really is an opportunity for the region to come together and find ways to cooperate and the governments of mexico and colombia and chile don't have much sympathy for the venezuelan regime. they might feel obligated to at least rhetorically support the regime but they economically want to have good relations with the united states. as china slows the united states is the one economy that is actually recovering. it is one thing to speak receipt or click against united states. it is quite another to establish an economic relationship and build that relationship for mutual benefit. even venezuela which as if you listen to the government pronouncements despises the
11:46 pm
united states, is selling more oil and petroleum products to the united states than anywhere else. there's some irony there. but the other countries of the world really have to see whether there are priorities and see if they can pursue that in the context of the summits. >> there is a u.s. lack of respect, sell say and what can the u.s. do to move forward and ease that mistrust? >> look, i think my good friend eric will agree the obama unlike many of his predecessors has done just about everything anybody could ask for in terms of so-called respect for latin american nationalism and old fashioned antiimperialism. including cutting a deal with cuba which as your correspondent said before, is looking more and more difficult. everybody expected the two
11:47 pm
embassies to open before the summit. that looks increase ilyingly unlikely, and there were serious sticking points, normalization human rights issues, claims by americans on expropriated cuban properties, et cetera, et cetera. the main question here is, for people like coreia, like salvador sanchez of el salvador, christina fernandez in argentina, there is really nothing a president of the united states can do to give full respect to what they consider their country's national pride other than more or less to disappear. former president chavez, before he died in a very extraordinary interview with john lee anderson
11:48 pm
five or six years ago i think put it correctly in his own sincere naive way is there any way to get along with the united states? and he said, as long as the united states is an imperialist power, no there is no way. that sums whrawp the up what the latin american left thinks of the u.s. >> domestic issues, corruption, brazil never been a fan of the summit but nevertheless on which summit issues does the you know, look to brazil mr. farnsworth to play a helpful role? >> well, hopefully a restraining role, in terms of venezuela, for example, it would be very helpful if someone would get to the president of venezuela and suggest to him it would be a very bad idea to present to the president of the united states a list of 6 million or 10 mil million
11:49 pm
or any number of names on a petition, this is showmanship not helpful. a restraining position could be helpful as well. but brazil is the largest economy in latin america and between united states and brazil there is a huge amount of work that could be done in terms of cooperation on energy and cooperation on agriculture cooperation globally as the wto or other the g-20 and this is an opportunity for other governments to move forward in support of democracy and open market economies. you noted quite accurately the president of brazil faces some domestic troubles. there are corruption issues right now slowing economy and frankly, the weather is also working against her. brazil is actually undergoing a significant drought which affects a lot of their electricity production, which a lot of that comes from highs
11:50 pm
hydro-power. what does she want to did at the summit of the americas in panama? i wouldn't imagine she would take a terribly high profile in panama. >> and quickly mr. castaneda you have 15 seconds before we lose you. what would make this summit a success, quickly? >> it won't be a success. the hand shake would be important, keeping maduro quiet would be important not having obama taken on as a adversary would be important this could be as important as can be expected. it's not going to be a big deal either way. >> mr. farnsworth, your final thoughts? >> that is exactly right. it would be helpful if some of the nations in the area, let's
11:51 pm
move forward common agenda, common interest let's actually pursue those and leave the political theater behind let's make progress. >> mr. farnsworth and mr. castaneda, appreciate your time on the week ahead. before we go let's look at other events coming up in the week ahead. on tuesday residents of ferguson missouri will vote in the first municipal election since the death of michael brown. many are hoping the elections will bring about change. secretary of defense ash carter will visit the middle east. and national rifle association will have its annual meeting. guests are splainl sarah palin and
11:54 pm
another major break through in physics. the biggest particle accelerator or sern is back in action after two year shut down and upgrades. scientists now hope to discover all sorts of break throughs, including the deep universe. politicians in washington d.c. argue the merits of climate change in miami beach florida construction is underway to keep the city above rising sea level. dr. shini somara has an interview. >> high tide in miami beach has literally been inching up in the last 30 years. first a third of an inch, now accelerating 1.27 inches
11:55 pm
annually. by 2020, michael brown could disappear under six inches of sea rise. there is an enormous effort to save the city. to the casual observer, it looks like a nightmare but i can tell you as an engineer, the challenges are massive. >> what the city plans to do about it. >> miami city really shows you climate change. even on sunny days when we were there about there were gigantic puddles in the roads residents were telling us stories about how they lost their cars and property damaged because of rising sea levels. so it's a real problem happening right now. >> real problem. what are some of the possible solutions they're coming up with? >> well right now the solutions they have is to install pumps which literally take water from
11:56 pm
miami city and pump it back out. and the analogy is kind of like sitting in a canoe that is filled with holes and they are ladling is water out with a spoon. they've currently got eight pumps installed and the proposal is to install 70 to 80 more. and it's kind of keeping them dry for now. but it really is a short-term solution. they are also raising seawalls, raising buildings and digging up roads just to account for those two feet or more of sea level rise that's likely to occur. >> you mentioned it's a short term solution. what happens long term? >> well, long term, they are having to hope that technology will be developed. right now the pumps are keeping them somewhat dry. and probably for the next 50 or 60 years they will have a solution to the rising sea levels. but long term is too far away. they have to act right now it's an immediate problem.
11:57 pm
>> "techknow", by the way the politics of climate change, premiers tomorrow 6:30 eastern 3:30 pacific. kevin corriveau brings you the forecast. >> rain and snow, april goes into the drier months for california as well as the west coast. but we do have this area of low pressure that's pressing down and allowing rain to come into part of california. into the central part of the valley and also snow in the higher elevations. by the time we get otuesday we could see two and a half to three inches of rain especially for the central and northern part of california and by the time we get to wednesday some locations of the higher elevations of the sierra nevadas, could see two to three

feet of snow. wednesday and thursday most of that rain and snow is going to start to end. for san francisco you're going to see rain as well as thunderstorms, by the time we get to tuesday and even towards los angeles you will be seeing rain cooler than average temperatures as well. here across the central plains as well as south mid week, that means those thunderstorms are really going to start to develop by the time we get towards wednesday. in those thunderstorms we could be seeing hail, damaging winds as well as tornadoes especially by the time we get to thursday. >> okay kevin thank you. i'm thomas drayton in new york. the news continues. have a safe night. safe night.
