>> thank you very much everybody. thank you donald trump u.s. presidential bid is celebrated as he wins in l.a. you're watching al jazeera live from doha. also coming up, obama gears up for a fight to push through the closure of guatemalan bay. european companies accused of selling surveillance equipment to egypt that could be used to clamp down on dissent. you've heard of the u.n.'s blue helmets. we report on the white helmet

volunteers pulling people out of the rubble in syria's biggest city. u.s. republican candidate donald trump says he is growing more confident of winning his party's presentation nomination after a caucus vote victory in the state of nevada. it follows consecutive wins in new hampshire and south carolina. early indications are that marco rubio came second in nevada, but it is not clear if he will be are trump's main challenger with ted cruz a close third. here is some of what donald trump had to say >> we weren't expected a couple of months ago to win this one. you know that one, right. we weren't. of course, if you listened to the pundits we weren't expected to win too much. now we're winning, winning

>> translation: winning the country and soon the country is going to start winning, winning, winning. so i want to thank the volunteers. these people work endlessly. we're not going to forget it let's cross over to a visiting professor and an pert will campaigns. when you look at marco rubio and cruz, who do you think will be trump's main challenger, who is battling for second? >> they both are neck and necked for the second place. ted cruz is holding on to super tuesday when he has vested a lot of time and money in those southern primaries where there are a lot of christian conservatives. he could be the next one on the of the race donald trump, three straight

victories, how do you explain this broad appeal. >> one word. anger. you have angry voters all over the country. primarily in the party. they're exasperated by the fact that pal particulars in washington, the establishment in this country, can't get anything done. they just are totally in grid lock. donald trump comes across as someone who can make things happen. he will knock heads together. he will make deals. he can make things happen. that's what people want in a leader just looking ahead, your projections for super tuesday, then? >> super tuesday could be a trump blow out. he could win most of those states. maybe not texas, which is ted cruz's home state. if he beats cruz in texas, cruz is out of the race. there are a lot of southern states. i don't see a single state that marco rubio looks strong in. he is trying to win the minnesota caucuses. there might be a few that he could win, but donald trump is

strong everywhere. donald trump has won in the east, west and south. that's the whole country despite the chaos seen as nevada, the caucus reporting double voting, disorganization. do you think that is a factor at a all? how significant is that? >> i don't think it's very significant. it shows that the republican party of nevada which ran the caucuses doesn't have a lot of experience and they didn't know what they were doing. more important, there was a flood of new voters to the polls, most of them voting for donald trump. these people had never been to a caucus, didn't know how it worked, didn't know what to do, but there was this huge turn out of trump supporters who as i said earlier were angry we thank you for speaking to us from l.a. to another political battle over the u.s. president's plan to close guantanamo bay. obama announced yesterday saying that the prison camp undermines

national security and is a country standing in the world. not everyone is convinced. >> reporter: it was one of his first promises in office and now obama is hoping in his last year he can actually accomplish it. close the controversial detention center guantanamo bay cuba. >> are we going to let this linger on for 10 to 30 years more? >> reporter: dozens of men have been held in limbo, many so desperate they went on a hunger strike only to be forced down and fed through a tube. the president is going to try to change their location, sending a new plan to congress. it is a bit vague, listing 13 sites where the detainees could be held. his argument, it would be cheaper and close a chapter in u.s.'s history that has damaged its standing abroad >> it is counterproductive as

our fight against terrorists because they use it in their efforts to recruit. >> reporter: this man disagrees with the president >> the negative influence that guatemalan had, are going to live on long after they've been shut down. it's almost irrelevant in terms of the propaganda effect of it today is negligible. >> reporter: the president would have to get piss plan through the congress >> we will review it, bringing dangerous terrorists to communities, he should know that the will of congress has already been expressed against that proposal >> reporter: this is an election year and this is an issue that divides the parties. >> not only are we not going to close guatemalan, but if i'm

president, terrorists will be going to guatemalan and we're going to find out everything they know >> reporter: the white house indicated that if the white house doesn't act the president might move them on his own. they will be transferred to other countries by the time he leaves office. for those left another try to change the location and the color of their jump suits but not their detention two indian students accused of sedition have handed themselves over to police in the capital new delhi. they're among a group of six students from a university facing charges, police saying they chanted anti india slogans during the event, condemning the hanging of a separatist from kashmir. the government is accused of trying to silence dissent. >> reporter: there have been plenty of developments in the university students case with now three of them arrested on

sedition charges. student leader has now been in jail for ten days and once again his bail hearing has been adjourned this time until the end of the month, february 29. this comes after police have changed their stance saying they will oppose it. if he gets bail they say it's because they have new evidence and they want to interrogate him further with his fellow students. the other two have been holidayed up at their university campus for days saying that they feared for their lives. in the early hours they gave themselves up to police who have been waiting outside saying that while they're still worried about their security, they're now placing their faith in the judicial system al jazeera has been shown documents showing that the german telecom giant sold surveillance equipment to a secret branch of the egyptian government. cairo paid millions of dollars for equipment designed to

protect the president which can also be used to spy on the public. it has called for european governments to come clean about corporate dealings with egypt. >> reporter: these documents cast a light on the length that the government has gone to protect themselves. they demonstrate the existence of a secret arm of state called the technical research department or trd. documents show the german multinational has sold equipment to the trd capable of enabling the security service to conduct mass surveillance, a monitoring center, equipment to listen to landlines and mobile phones of the public at large >> they are the ones who are always looking for the next new technology to sort of high-technical up date technology to surveil civilians.

it is western companies that are trying to paracel new products. it is the obvious customer, the tld >> reporter: the sales date back to before 2011 when the president was ousted suggesting that they were not only facilitated to help clamp down on dissent after the arab spring, but it does appear all the technology has proved useful to the current government. this audio clip lifted from a mobile phone call is between the son of the jailed former president and close friend in which they discussed what to do after hundreds of protesters were killed by egypt's security services in 2013. the clip was played on egyptian television. he and his father were arrested and jailed. his brother >> they tried to log into their phones, tried to take personal

information from that. it becomes like for many activists who are in egypt and trying to work in the field of human rights, for example, or work in the fields of trying to - any civil society actions. they have to take extreme security precautions because they know that the security services want to have surveillance. >> you have to hack your target. >> reporter: this revelation comes after an italian surveillance company was itself hacked and thousands of documents put in the public domain. hacking team have been selling the government malware to control people's electronic devices. now european companies can export this with the government's permission. germany and italy are called on to explain why they think these sales are appropriate >> we have a responsibility for the companies here in europe and

those companies they are responsible for u.n. i have to say in this instance it is very clear to me that those guidelines are being breached and these experts are wrong. >> reporter: the hacking team pointed out that the sales are legal and they also paracel war planes and missiles to egypt. it claims the surveillance equipment could help the fight against terrorism >> it said it had sold a subsidiary in 2013 and therefore couldn't comment coming up in the program we report from fiji where clean up efforts after a deadly cyclone are facing several hurdles. >> we are days away from the oscars but it is who and what is not nominated this year is having people talking. find out why shortly. hortly.
