genocide case, the guatemalan public ministry has developed increasingability to track these organized criminal networks and to build cases against them what has shifted is the political will to take on these cases. two years ago, there was not the political will to allow the conviction of genocide against to stand. now, we are seeing a turning pointed to allow these major cases against very high-level political figures to go forward. >> police in lebanon have forcibly removed demonstrators from the environment min tree building from the you stink movement have been staging a three-day sit-in dpaem demanding

>>dran candidates will continue to find ways to use clinton's e-mail scandal against her. >> she has said that if she had to do it over again, she would do it differently. perhaps it was a mistake to use her private e-mail server. this is not unusual. a lot of people in government do it. some people don't know what the rules are. she should have known what they are, but she said that she didn't handle it the best way. she's acknowledged that. certainly, republicans are not going to let go of it. they are trying to find some kind of connection between what's in the thousands of e-mails and the benghazi strapped dewhen she was secretary of state but it's a little embarrassing. who wants his or her private e-mails to be released to the public. there is bound to be some kind of sensitive or embarrassing

personal information in these e-mails. republicans won't let it go. the question is: in the race for the democratic nomination, her democratic competitors, they may also want to bring it up. what it does is it reinforces a fairly damaging image that she's very secretive and calculating in everything that she does. the buzz word for this election is authenticity. voters seem to be looking for candidates that are authentity. it that's why so many are voting for donal trump or ben carson. neither is a politician. that's why a lot of democrats are supporting bernie sanders, her competitor, who is a very unusual kind of democrat, who is very ideological and calms himself a socialist. there are other politicians who are part of the washington establishment like hillae clinton and jeb bush or somehow for reasons that are kind of complicated they are seen as inauthentic that everything they do is calculated. that's a bad image to have in this campaign. >> still to come on al jazeera,

wealth and corruption. we report from mexico where the gap between rich and poor is widening. and why the pope is making it easier for catholics to be forgiven for having abortions.

beijing. >> reporter: there has been some questions about it. the fact that a south korea ian president would attend a large military show of force in china is obviously something that would have to have been weighed carefully because china was on the side of the north koreans in the correspondence ian war. there is a historical factor. there is the fact it will complicate relations with japan between south korea and japan at a time when the u.s. is keen for those two key alleys to work more closely together to counter balance the rides of china and so, that is obviously another consideration that they had to put in to question before deciding quite late in the day, it has to be said, to make this visit. but that said, she is also going to china with a suggestion for a trilateral summit between beijing, tokyo and seuol, something she says she wants and we understand that that did come up in the talks between her and

shi jing ping and the only one to one lunch meeting she is having with any foreign leader we understand during this period so something of an honor given to the south korean president of what is a relatively close personal relationship and the fact of, as well, that at this time, when south korea's exports are in real truck,shine represents a quarter of all exports that leave south korea. the chinese market does. so, it's very important for south korea to keep this relationship in good spirits. >> harry, both leaders have spoken about north korea. what did they have to say? >> reporter: that's right. they talked about the nuclear issue, about trying to rein in north korea's nuclear ambitions but referred to the tensions between north and south which were settled to some extent it seems with a deal reached in the early hours of last tuesday morning last week. but she also said that china had

played a constructive roll by closely communicate with south korea. that's an interesting contract with what kim jung ung was saying last week when he said north korea had to face down the south very much alone, suggesting that it hadn't had much support from china at this time. certainly relations between china and north korea had become much frostier since the leaderships began. as well as that, north korea chose this day, the day park left for beijing to say in regard to this recent deal, south korea should stop saying it's expression of regret in the dmz earlier last month was in fact an apology. they say it wasn't an apology. simply an express of regret and south korea should stop such talks. >> suggests there is plenty of tension still to be dealt with on this peninsula, plenty for china to try to intervene in if

it is can but relationships between can a china and south korea soured in some recent years. >> thank you for the update, harry fawcett speaking to us from seuol. >> vladimir putin is attending the commenrations but not all russell are as enthusiastic about their neighbor. rory chal lantdz is in cheeta and files this report. >> reporter: some have called it russia's gateway to china but these people would like to that gate to be kept closed. the protesters say they are not anti-chinese but opposed to a proposed land deal they see at the thin end of a wedge. >> how can we agree to this when what we are talking about is the barren land that the chinese leave behind them. >> wait.

this is our land. why should we give it away? we won't see it in 49 years. it will be gone. >> somewhere out there, though it hasn't yet been revealed exactly where, is the hong kong sized plot that they want a chinese company to farm for 49 years. you would have thought given the seemingly endless expanses of land in russia that the matter of some 115,000 hectares wouldn't really bother anyone but this taps into deeply held insecurities about how long it can hold this sparsely populated territory against the bill yon or so chinese just south of the border. >> people are afraid that the lapdz will become a small colony. it will be col onized by the chinese, by russian law, anyone born on our territory becomes a russian citizen. can you imagine how many thousands of workers will come

here? in 50 years, it will be a chinese province. >> the governor's office said they couldn't fit our interview request into their schedule but authorities insist chinese investment will boost the economy of this region and create jobs. indeed, since ukraine's crisis poisoned relations with the west, a blizzard of contracts, deals and memoranda have been signed augmenting a shean chinese strategic partnership. >> this analyst things thinks there is little genuine substance for most of it. >> there is not really urge. it's more from politics than economics but at the same time, the population has some concern about it. it's more irrational fear because there is not any attempt from chinese side to make any drastic steps toward russian

that you are tory. >> some chinese are here, though. they toil in the fields and green houses. they have stores in the markets but you could hardly call it an invasion. and at the city's buddhist temple, there is a reminder that the russians were col onizers themselves and this land wasn't always theirs. rory chal land, far eastern russia. >> russia has held a military parade in the pacific islands known as the southern correals in russia and the northern territories in japan. both japan and russia claim the islands and the territoryial dispute has strained recess since the end of the send world war when russian forces occupied four islands at the southern end of the chain.

which again is francis being the practical pope saying this is a year dedicated to enhancing mercy, to reminding people that the church is there primary for love and for mercy. >> the u.n. special rappateur on freedom of expression has condemned the sentencing of threeays journalists saying it was inconsistent with human rights law. the three were sentenced to three years in prison last week after a retrial found them guilty of reporting false news. members of australia's press club have expressed solidarity. the club's president said there is one simple message for the egyptian government: to free aj staff. al jazeera denies the charges and demands their immediate release. mexican president en reek aepineto is due to give his annual state of the nation

like the people in sidewalk city, the people living in this neighborhood are in a desperate position. but they are not alone. almost half of mexicans live in poverty. that's a number going up in recent years >> lunch is leftover fish from a market, all alejandro can earn in a year. a senator earns in two weeks. >> it's like from here to the moon with, the gap between us. how can i explain their money, cars, houses, trips? what i had to save to buy a wheelbarrow to work and survive. >> increasing online population is exposing a $6 million house built for the president's family by a favored government contractor. he is currently the lead popular leader of the last 20 years. >> if if there is room for optimi optimism, our society is
