games. ♪ this is al jazeera america live from new york city. i'm paul brennan, and we begin with the global reaction to that grim story from the middle east. an 18-month-old killed in an attack in the west bank had been laid to rest. the funeral was held a few hours ago. two masked attackers set fire to his home this morning and spray painted revenge on the walls. his parents and four-year-old brother were seriously injured this nepalany. netenyahu promised there would be justice. he said this is an act of

terrorism in every respect: the u.s. has condemned the attack as well. also labeling it as a terrorist incident. the state department called for both sides to avoid escalating tensions. stephanie decker has the latest from the west bank. >> reporter: there is a lot of shock here i think. more than anger. people will tell you that these kind of attacks happen all the time from settlers. this village is surrounded by three illegal outposts and various settlements. we're in the bedroom where the horrific attack took place. i'll just get joe to give you a sense of what the scene is here and we know that in the early hours of the morning as we hear from the israeli army spokesperson, they smashed the windows, threw in a fire bomb and the family was sleeping.

we spoke to a witness who came just outside of this house, and he said he saw two men standing above the bodies of the parents who managed to get out. they were lying on the floor, the mother and phatter. he said he saw their clothes on fire and the two men were watching them. they saw him, moved towards him and then got away. when he got here he said he managed to take out the 4-year-olded toddler, and then he said there was an explosion and he said it was impossible to remove the baby. the u.n. says at least 120 attacks friday israeli settlers have been documented so far this year. and more than 90% of complaints to the israeli police are never prosecuted. a piece of debris is heading to france for inspection at this hour. it was found off of the coast of

madagascar. officials say it is possible it came from mh370 that disappeared nearly 17 months ago. search and rescue groups focused off of the coast of australia. the wing part was found more than 2500 miles away. >> reporter: as we speak right now, the piece of wreckage is being wrapped in preparation for transportation at the airport. the identifying number on the side of it indicates that it is part of the wing. the wing flap from a boeing 777. it has some barnacles on it which oceanographers say indicate it has been in the ocean for about the right length of time for it to belong to mh370. we're on the beach where it was discovered lots of people coming down here today. police here helicopters. the police helicopter buzzing

overhead. people hoping they toomey be able to find a part of this story. it has drawn many many curious individuals. if it is confirmed to be a piece of mh370, it will be the only piece of physical evidence that would have survived that crash. as science and technology correspondent jake ward explains even if this is debris from the jet, it may not be much help. >> to link this piece of debris to the rest of 370 you need a serial number usually printed on a plate attached to the part. unfortunately after a year in the ocean, that plate seems to have come off in this case. so as far as we know there is no fingerprint that definitively links the plane and this piece. but images of this part reveal a

component number 657 bb which is kind of like the one used by maintenance personnel to identify individual parts of a plane. in that corresponds to a flapper ron. that is only found on a boeing 777. the thing to understand is that according to several databases, the world is missing only one boeing 777 and that is mh370. the signs point pretty clearly to being a piece of the missing aircraft. the next question is where the rest of the plane might be. the search area is 2,500 miles from where this piece washed ashore. there is a current that is between australia and asia. if you assume this piece began

in the center of the search area it would have been carried north and then west. but this portion of the wing if it is what investigators believe it is is particularly light and air filled. the current only reaches as deep as about 100 meters so only buoyant stuff like this will be carried along by it. the flight data recorder which would give us a definitive account of what happened on this flight they would have been left behind. they are dense and heavy. they are still likely on the bottom of the ocean somewhere. so while this is the first traceable part of the plane we have seen it doesn't bring us closer to solving the mystery of this plane's disappearance. nigeria says it rescued 71 girls who were held captive by boko haram. nigeria's military said several boko haram fighters were killed

in clashes overnight. some of the girls who were freed had been held hostage for more than a year though it's not clear if any of those girls were the schoolgirls taken captive last year. secretary of state john kerry is headed to egypt this weekend. the u.s. has begun delivering eight f16 fighter jets to egypt. the delivery was made possible after washington ended its freeze on military equipment in march. later today negotiators are scheduled to wrap up the latest round of trade talks in hawaii. the tpp is designed to boost trade between many of the world's biggest markets and could become one of the largest trade deals in history, but as andrew thomas reports, opponents think it will cause more problems than it solves. >> reporter: the negotiators are meeting in that hotel.

these protesters want to disrupt those talks by blowing on shells by whistling, and by shouting. they say that [ inaudible ] increasing the size of all of the economies involved a deal would cost jobs in higher-paying countries, be damaging to the environment, and it would cut off medicines to some of the world's poorest. they say this deal puts power in the hands of corporations over governments and they are trying to stop it from happening. >> i spoke with wallace chain, the founder and managing director of the center for trade and sustainable development in china. he says china doesn't want to be part of the tpp. >> china is not interested in join it or if china apply for membership it will not be accepted. i think it will benefit all of

the tpp members, but we also know as you just mentioned in the beginning that there are many protesters because people are concerned that this negotiation was driven by the big -- big companies, particularly the u.s. big companies, so -- and also the secret approach of negotiations has created some problems. >> he says if the tpp is finalized it will effect other global trade agreements. federal highway funding will keep flowing to the states. president obama signed a bill just a short time ago. it's only a three-month extension, though. congress was unable to come to terms on a longer deal before recessing for the summer. zimbabwe is calling for the american dentist who killed cecil the lion to be extradited. they want palmer tried in

[ applause ] >> reporter: march 15th, 1965, president lyndon johnson spoke

to the nation eight days after america saw how far some would go to deny voting rights to their fellow americans. bloody sunday selma, alabama. the world watched in horror as troopers and sympathizers savagely attacked peaceful mostly black protesters as they marched across the edmund pettus bridge. around the south, only about 20 q25% of eligible black hoeters were registered by 1956. the events in selma, gave johnson the political momentum he needed to get the law through

congress. a key part of the law, known as section 5 prohibited six southern states from making any changes to state-wide voting laws without federal approval first. measures that were later extended to other states and localities. the results were dramatic. by 1968, black registration across the south had risen to 62%, and more and more people of color were chiefing elected office. by the time barack obama won the president in 2008 the portion of black turning out to vote was nearly equal that of whites. >> we spoke with the chief political correspondent for the "new york times" magazine. >> he was a -- kind of -- he would say himself a non-entity

in american politics. he was a conservative. he was a investment banker in texas, and he decided to run for congress. he had a very hard time of it because it was a gerrymandered district that favored the black incumbent. he decided then and there that these gerrymandered districts were a problem and realized they were in part caused by stloeting right's act. the voting rights act made it so states had to draw congressional districts in a way where if there were large con venn venn -- concentration of black voters they have to be represented. as he would tell you and told me, it began with challenging the way congressional districts were drawn. and he is a master at the supreme court game.

and he succeeded in getting several districts thrown out because they were racially quote unquote, racially german german -- gerrymandered in a way that violated the constitution. >> the supreme court ruled in 2013 that the law has achieved its goals and is no longer necessary today, but many civil rights leaders disagree. the federal government is standing by its decision to deny aid to baltimore after riots earlier this year. it said it is not appropriate to use disaster relief to pay to damage caused by a riot. coming up the pentagon considers making major security changes at recruiting offices. those changes have been sparked by the recent killings of five service members in chattanooga, tennessee.

pentagon. olympic history, and it happened far from the playing field. >> beijing. [ cheers and applause ] >> how that choice to host the 2022 games put china's capitol in a category all by itself. ♪ happy birthday to you ♪ >> plus the fight over the right to sing happy birthday and why it could soon become much easier.

the incredible journey continues. ♪ the international olympic committee made history this morning with it choice for the 2022 winter games. >> beijing. >> and with that beijing becomes the first city to host both the winter and summer olympics. the chinese capitol was chosen over one other contender the city of almaty in kazakhstan. as rob mcbride tells us the reaction in china was ecstatic.

>> reporter: widespread satisfaction throughout china. when it was first announced that beijing was serious about bidding for the winter olympics it was treated almost with disdain. the city of course not being a natural winter sport location but as time as gone on and other more natural contenders have dropped by the wayside there has been a growing realization of how serious china has been about wanting these games. there's also a growing sense of the political will that it has and also the resources it can put in place to guarantee that all of the facilities will be built and all of the snow-making infrastructure that will be needed to guarantee there will be enough snow for the event to take place. human rights groups had tried to prevent this decision arguing that any human rights record in china has gotten worse in recent years, and china has not upheld the olympic principals that it was meant to have signed it's a

up for in 2008 when it won the summer olympics. but as far as the olympic committee is concerned, probably the more persuasive argument was their commitment to staging the games. the next summer games in rio are less than a year away. but one key venue is not ready for competition, and that's the waterways. as kimberly halkett reports, they are full of sewage. >> reporter: with the famous sugar loaf mountain in the background this is the image rio's olympic organizationers want. but the bay is anything but picture perfect. the stench of raw sewage is overpowering. >> translator: organic rubbish is the main problem. we have almost 15 million people flushing the toilet every single

day with no treatment. it's really serious. >> reporter: treatment plants exist to clean the water pouring in from the surrounding municipalities, but two aren't working, and the rest work at half of capacity. when the city of rio made its olympic pitch it pledged to clean up the baby at least 80%. it now admits it will miss that mark by at least 50%. officials argue the fecal contamination in the bay meets international standards. >> i don't have a problem with it. nothing too bad that you are going to run away and not come back to it. so, yeah i think no matter what it is going to just be racing here. >> we have been on water maybe 800, at last days, and nobody

got sick from sailing here. >> reporter: eco boats have been dispatched to collect trash, but the state admits the effort is mostlies cosmetic. >> translator: we need a policy that does more than just cleaning. environmental education needs to be implemented. >> translator: we need to use the olympic games for change. if it doesn't happen now, they will certainly forget the bay again. >> reporter: with the games still a year away that may already be the case. the bay isn't cleaned up to competitors' satisfaction there are discusses underway to move some sailing races from the bay to the open sea. kimberly hal cut, al jazeera. and finally a rare case of a motion picture using the song happy birthday. ♪ happy birthday to you ♪ >> full metal jacket is one of just a few dozen movies ever to
