limbo on greece's border against macedonia. and robert mugabe launches a new party to challenge his rule. >> i'll be here with all the day's sports. leicester will extend their lead at the top of the english premier league. we'll have all the detail the details coming up. >> donald trump is predicted to gain potentially unsalable moment as millions of americans make their choices on super tuesday. hillary clinton is also predicted to strengthen her grip on the democratic contest across 11 states. well, the candidates have spent millions of dollars on their campaigns and huge amounts are at stake in thighs timely polls. >> this is speaking out against bigotry and bullying, and i hear

it from the republican candidates. they've forgotten about issues and they run their campaign on insults. it's turned into an unups manship on insulting. i don't think it's appropriate for a presidential campaign. >> we have to get people to work together. our country is so unbelievably divided. it's divided politically. it's divided among white and black. it's divided in so many ways. we're going to bring it together, folks. we have to bring it together. [ cheering ] people don't know that about me. i bring people together. >> we have two of the key states. alan fisher is in texas. but first let's go to andy gallagher who is in alabama for us. the donald trump bandwagon just continues to gain momentum.

>> this is a good day for donald trump. all indications show that he'll leave today with a commanding lead. it is an unassailable lead if he does do that. it is a defining moment and critical moment for the republican party. i listened to local conservative radio where people were talking about donald trump destroying the republican party, talking about him going in the wrong conservative, not having christian values. nonetheless every single white voter i'm listening to is supporting donald trump. it's the same story across the country. they say he tells it as it is. he makes the policy changes that they want to see, and his lead is commanding. there is another issue here on super tuesday. these are elections in the southern states which focus on black voters, african-american

votes. and in this state a quarter of the population is african-american. but the issue is voter identification laws. this state now requires government-issued i.d. like my driver's license. but the problem is in poor rural communities many african-americans don't have access to public transportation, information, they don't have the means or the money to go get the correct photo i.d. activists say that is deliberately excluding them from the process. >> how are you doing? can i get you a flyer before you get out? >> campaigning in supermarket parking lots is sometimes the only way to meet voters. this is a sparsely populated part of the state, but politics is on the mind of many. >> well, i'm not voting foreeither one of them. >> in a town where most are african-american, there is anger against voting laws.

ballots can no longer cast without government-issued i.d. >> you take advantage of the weak when you do that. some just don't have one. can't get one. all of this we're going through with. >> and we're still going through the same thing. >> pounding the new voter i.d. laws are the closure of driver's license offices that were situated overwhelmingly in african-american counties. voting just got harder. >> campaigners say decade of work has now been undone. forcing poor black voters to get photo i.d.s places another obstacle between them and the ballot box. while many don't question the intention behind the law, many say it is all too reel. >> for 30 years raphael has worked tirelessly for voting

rights a struggle that he says is long from over. >> i think we're going to be fighting for the rest of our lives. there are people out there who would never let it go. you mean never stop trying to support the black vote. never stop trying to send us to africa. i'm not going. >> the panels of the voting rights act are now being undone are flatly denied by the state government. >> we go to people's houses to have their picture made and if they don't have a photo idea that say alabama, we're never going to jump to politics like this, i would say that will it's campaign for change. >> it looks like donald trump is

the unstoppable force when it comes to the. where are we with that? >> well, hillary clinton has always had to are. upper big. all indications are that may happen here. she has name and face recognition. people know her and people vote for her in large numbers, and bernie sappedder sanders meeting people in person. she has been running tv ads here for a long time. she needs to show that she's that inevitable candidate. for her super tuesday is just as vital as it is for donald trump or any other republican nominee. >> the latest from alabama.

been here for a while bring some sort of normality to their lives. but many are clearly distressed, exhausted, and worried. those sitting on the tracks hope to keep up the pressure. but very much aware that the rise over here on monday did not help their cause. some have been stranded for 12 days now. >> we should have been more that they were letting other small people in. it's our friends from other countries that are giving us the news. we don't know what is happening. >> only 30 people were allowed through the last 48 hours. one of the biggest challenges is to figure out how many people are here. when the police started the registration process to give money will gifford.

their shelter, but they were removed by the police. many of these huts are made of sturdy wood. >> if we go back to where we were this time last year there was a number around calais that's why this camp was created. it was created to remove all t the, and we're going back to that situation. >> they're making quick work of demolishing the huts.

and in this particular part of the camp they're forced to confront the reality. but staying here is no longer an option. >> last week al jazeera met iraqi refugee. he had been a police officer before being forced to flee. his dream was to cross calais and make a new life in u.k. by chance we met again on tuesday on the way to a refugee center in southern france. >> i have four kids. i would like my kids to study in france and serve the french nation and people and be good citizens. the jungle doesn't serve me or anyone. there is no ope hope that the u.k. borders will open. >> they reject the idea that these people will graph trait back here to calais. >> 80% of the migrants have claimed asylum in france. it's a sustainable operation. we've been doing this since october. now in march. we'll continue as long as there

are migrants here in very difficult conditions. >> the impacts of this clearance program is disputed. authorities say 1,000 people will be moved. campaigners say 3500. but what is undisputed, the demolition will continue regardless. >> the u.n. envoy to syria says that he's delayed the next round of negotiations between warring parties until march 9th. the delay is for technical reasons and for the cease-fire, to, quote, better settle down. that limited truce is regularly tested. this video is said to show fighting in the northern province. the main opposition is accusing the government of violating the truce agreement there. and these pictures from syria's military purportedly show isil

fighters. isil is not included in the cessation of facilities. but opposition groups who say the army is targeting them, too. >> the syrian human rights have documented the deaths of 13,500 children. a fifth of syria's population had to leave their homes. and tens of thousands have been orphaned by the conflict. >> a safe haven other children wish they had. a place to learn, a place away from airstrikes and bombings. this is the orphanage who

parents have been killed its run by the ngo which tries to alleviate the suffering from the most vulnerable. this 11-year-old is from homs. most of the city had been bombed to the ground. his father was killed by soldiers. the teachers here tell me he wets his bed regularly and rarely manages to sleep through the night without waking up screaming. but he still hopes for a better future. >> when i grow up i want to be an architect to rebuild my country. >> i asked him what message he has for the world leaders. >> i tell them you don't love us as you claim. if you did, you would have liberated us. >> this girl is five. losing her parents has left her so distraught she finds it difficult to speak. her eyes, though, tell a story

one has responded. >> on sundays the children are taken on trips. this is the closest they can get to their homes without fear of barrel bombs or russian airstrikes. as they close their eyes they picture a syria free from all the killing where a child's future is more important than political military ambition. where innocence is cherished, not bombed away from the sky. a wish they hope one day will come true. al jazeera, on the turkish-syrian border. >> the iraqi army said a suicide-bomber has killed 20 of its personnel. elsewhere in iraq eight soldiers were killed in an isil attack. >> let's go to south africa now where the president has defeated a vote of no confidence brought against them over his economic management. it's part of an assault on

way for him to become president. the charges come from allegations of corruption. the prosecutor dropped the charges because of political interference on what is known as the spy tapes, secretly taped phone calls between those closest to the case which they collude and how to maximize the damage from the charges. the prosecutor said it meant he could not get a fair trial. the democratic alliance is trying to convince the judges that the political interference was limited and insignificant and there was no reason to drop the charges against zuma. the national prosecuting authority is defending the decision by its former acting director.

not binding but by guidance either in for or against. >> this case is balanced on what you give more rate to, privacy or the need to keep people safe. what else have we been hearing? >> well, first of all, the tone all throughout was trying to be accommodating to apple or those people who are most concerned about preserving data privacy saying that he's deferring to congress to find the best solution, but he didn't offer one himself expect to say that he thinks that the government is justified in this particular case. but under cutting his argument was the appearance of district attorney of new york city, who appearing together with the apple chief couple just a few mines ago indicated that he, too, wants to disable the protective encryptions software

in 175 phones being held right now in his custody which were seized from drug dealers, murderers and rapists. this slippery slope argument was one that apple was very happy to hear echoed in this hearing room. and the chief counsel for apple, as you said, indicated this isn't just one case. this would mean that the security of millions of i phone users would be threatened by just this one case where apple would have to device software where it would disable it's own device. >> journalists have announced they're going on strike in suspension of protest of the pair. the suspension was imposed back in december was triggered by
