>> the u.n. approves its toughest sanctions against north korea in two decades over its recent nuclear tests. this is al jazeera live from london. also coming up. >> instead of building walls we're going to break down barriers. >> i'm going to go after one person, that's hillary clinton. >> donald trump and hillary clinton fire on each other as they pull ahead in the race for the white house. refugees young and old outside in the cold hoping they'll be

allowed to cross from greece into macedonia. >> i'm going to show you some beautiful botticelli and wild interpretation of his work. >> now, united nations security council has voted to impose the toughest sanctions on north korea in two decades after it deified previous resolutions with its latest newell tests. negotiated but the united states and china, they include mandatory inspections of cargo leaving and entering north korea by sea or air, a ban on the small arms or any item that could be used by the armed forces and a ban on exports of coal, iron, gold and rare earth minerals from north korea. 16 individuals and 12 organizations have been added to the sanctions list. and it has been extended on all

funds held abroad by the government and the ruling party. our diplomatic editor james bays reports now from the u.n. >> almost two months after north korea carried out its latest nuclear test the u.n. security council finally gave its response. >> an unanimous vote in favor of the toughest sanctions resolutions yet. >> almost all of the resources are channeled into its reckless and relentless pursuit of weapons of mass destruction. the north korean government would rather grow its nuclear weapons program than grow it's own children. >> the fact that north korea denied international community with the launch of a satellite during the negotiations over the resumé have helped persuade the

chinese to agree to these new extensive measures. the text that the resolution almost 20 pages long was discussed in numerous meetings between the u.s. and china. some parts are clearly directed at the north korean leadership among the luxury accords banned aquatic recreational authorities, equipment like jet skis and also snowmobiles. but china is still strongly opposed to u.s. plans to deploy a high altitude missile defense system known as thad in south korea. >> all parties concerned should avoid actions that would furtherin aggravate tensions on the ground because such an action harms the strategic security interests of china and other countries of the region and goes against the goal maintaining peace, security of the peninsula. >> there are two important questions, the provisions of

this resolution go further than before but will it be properly implemented, and how will the north koreans react. in the past when they've been punished by the u.n. security council it has only prevented them from taking further action. al jazeera, the united nations. >> donald trump and hillary clinton are a step close for going head to head in the battle to become the next president of the united states. they cemented their leads in the nomination. the republican republican primaries won seven of the 11 states. ted cruz won his home state of texas, oklahoma and alaska, and marco rubio won in minnesota. this pushed donald trump well ahead in terms of the number of delegates won. 1,237 is the number needed to win the party nomination. donald trump now has 285 with

his closest rival ted cruz on 161. on the democratic side hillary clinton won seven states while bernie sanders took the other four including vermont. al jazeera's patty culhane has more. >> as super tuesday turns into a regular wednesday, the people of the voting states woke up to the realization that for better or for worse, this helped to make it more likely that donald trump would be the republican nominee for the president of the united states. >> he tells the truth. i think he just says what is on a lot of people's minds. and what the people are afraid to say. it's just blatant honesty. i think that's great. >> i'm hopeful that he will be the president. i think its hard to understand that he harnesses a lot of the

anger that is going on in this country for how the country is being run. but i think there is someone better than him to run the country. >> make america great again. remember that. >> he won seven states. if that momentum continues he'll march towards the nomination leaving republicans little chance to stop him. >> if it is close, or if there are questions about some of his delegates or some of his supporters or there is a tremendous amount of buyers remorse that he is the reported nominees say by april, then come july it would not be all that surprising to see the republican party trying to maneuver things to their favor. >> the party's fear trump can't beat hillary clinton. >> do you seem to be saying that hillary clinton will beat donald trump? >> no, i'm not seeming to be saying that. i am saying that.

like a drum. >> after super tuesday the former secretary of state is continuing her march towards the democratic nomination but her rival vermont senator bernie sappedders did better than expected winning four states, and he is giving little indication he's ready to bow out. >> what i have said is that this campaign is not just about electing a president. it is about making a political revolution. >> super tuesday moved the process along but did not change any of the dynamics. up next big states, florida, ohio, the candidates have two weeks to win there. in what could be the deciding factor in who gets to run for president of the united states. >> so after the hype of super tuesday all eyes will be on ohio. let's now speak to onhedron,

he's there for us. this is going to be the next primaries, very significant. what is the impact of super tuesday now as we look ahead to the next milestone in this race? >> well, super tuesday puts a lot of pressure on these candidates, some of them to get out of the race if they're not winning from here they're going to have to show some big wins in the near future. that for marco rubio, that's florida, his home state, on march 15th, the same day that ohio holds it's primary. and then for john kasich, the governor of ohio, he needs to focus on winning here. but right now those candidates are both going to stay in because they want to be there for their own home state for their home court advantage. but it's been bad news for ben carson. he has not won a state. he you are turned out very big early on in the campaign, and trump took off. carson had a hard time getting

people to listen to him in debates. this is a man with a dramatic life story. poor as a child. grew up to be a famous neurosurgeon. he got a lot of attention when he was a at a conference critical of president obama's healthcare, he got a lot of money in fundraising, and that campaigning propelled forward, but it did not really catch fire. trump stole the thunder in the race. carson has not ended up winning a single state despite early polls that had him at number two behind trump. now he has announced he does not see a political path forward. the key word might be political. he's suggesting he might go on. he said in his statement that he issued today, fortunately, my campaign is not bound by financial considerations. he said the movement will go on. whether that means that his kindcy will go on or not is

unclear. >> right, and what are the expectations then from ohio come march 15th? >> well, ohio is a big state because it's a bell weather. it has voted for the presidential election since 1964. so the feeling among the campaigns is if you don't win here you can't win the white house. it has been called the gateway to the white house. the candidates are going to be campaigning very heavily here just as they are in florida because they want to win this state. they're superstitio superstitious about losing ohio and not being able to go on and win the presidency. what happens there is likely to whittle down the race even further. kasich is the governor of ohio. if he doesn't win this state he's pretty well got to drop out of the race. he has shown no wins before that. then of course there is marco rubio. same problem in florida. here's a problem for both of them. trump is leading in polls in

both states. they'll have to win an upset victory in their state, then things will move very fast. the republican party was not happy with the way things went with mitt romney, their nominee last time. they felt he was too battered by the time the general election came long, and they wanted to speed up the process, and make it easier for a frontrunner to seize the nomination. well, this time they're loading up a bunch of winner take all states like ohio, like florida after march 15th. that means things could move very quickly here on, except the nominee that they're likely to get is donald trump, one the establishment is not terribly fond of. >> thank you very much. jordan has foiled what it says would have been a major league isil attack on civilian and military targets in the country. the overnight raid on what has been described as a leper cell was the biggest security operation there in years.

>> jordan has worried about isil on its door step. now it says that the armed group is trying to put down roots here. officials say that the security operation in the north of jordan stopped planning for a major attack by an isil affiliate. jordan's special forces and police backed by attack helicopters descended on an apartment building in jordan's second biggest city. they killed seven suspects. some wearing suicide beltless according to officials. a jordanian police captain was also killed in the raid. >> this group is misguided and misleading. there are terrorist groups connected to terrorist organizations. and they plan to disrupt the security of the country and it's people. [ sirens ] >> the operation continued into the morning as security forces sealed roads into the area. the crackdown follows the arrest of 13 people a week ago in the same neighborhood. they were allegedly linked to

the group that was targeted on tuesday. the camp has been home to palestinian refugees for more than six decades. jordan's official news agencies said that authorities have broken up a cell linked to isil that planned on carrying out attacks on civilian and military targets. destabilizing national security. it's impossible to confirm the targets were said to have been restaurants government buildings and even school i. >> they chose this area because they can work with more freedom. it's not a place where authorities would expect to find isil followers. >> erbid is just 20 kilometers from the syrian border. but those killed in the raid are believed to have been from jordan. support in jordan for groups like isil existed long before the syrian oh conflict. the leader of al-qaeda and iraq was from jordan. the armed group attacked hotels in the kingdom in 2005. jordan has closed all but two of

its border crossings with syrian and it's only crossing with iraq. there are now almost 20,000 refugees massed at its eastern board with syria. they need to make sure that isil fighters are not among them. jordan until now has been relatively stable. but it's a small country with volatile neighbors and pockets of support for isil. hundreds of young jordanians have gone to syria to fight with the armed group and it's affiliates. the risk of violence spreading here is one of jordan's biggest fears. al jazeera, amanned. >> more to come for you on al jazeera. a high court ruling set up a london court battle between two nigerian communities and the oil giant shell. it's the fight against illegal logging has help from above. a satellite-based aheard system designed to track illegal loggers.

>> the u.n. representative for libya said he has been unable to bring together opposing sides, and without an unity government isil could further threaten the country. >> our expansion of the islamic state is that the libyans have to organize themselves. it all boils down to having efficient, strong government of national unity. otherwise the islamic state cannot be formed. the political process is slow like a snail, and the military process is much faster.

accepting corruption charges genes lower house speaker accused of accepting bribes on contracts of two drilling ships petrobras. now, peru has the tenth largest area of forest in the world, but it's estimated that each year almost 3,000 square kilometers are lost mainly to illegal logging. now there is hope that a new satellite tracking system will help stop the deforesttation. >> peru is one of the most bio diverse countries in the world. that's under threat from logging, about 80% of the trees that are cut down here are done so illegally. now a new system has created, it has been implemented across the world, but it's makers say that it can help countries like peru using satellite imagery that pinpoints where trees are

disappearing and alerts authorities faster than ever before where they're going missing. here in peru that's only part of the problem. authorities that are meant to regulate the forests frequently sell fake permits to logging companies so they can cut down trees. people who are trying to stop that really seem to be banging their heads against the wall here. for example, the ex-head of the regulating authority was fired after he tried to clamp down on big logging companies. so although technological advances like this one could really help, there are only going to be effective when there is political will to sort this out on the ground. >> the biggest abortion rights challenge in the united states for over 20 years is heading to the supreme court. justices will be considering whether or not a controversial texas law which led to closures of clinic across the street goes against a woman's constitutional

right to have an abortion. we have reports from fort worth. >> this small health center is at the center of the case that could effect millions of women's access to abortion. >> it is extremely important. it's really going to decide the ability of states to regulate abortion clinics for many years to come, i suspect. >> in 2013 texas' republican government enacted a law requiring abortion clinics to have high grade surgical centers on site and for clinic physicians to have admitting privileges at hospital trauma center within 50 kilometers. shortly after the law passed clinics around this vast state began shutting down. existing clinics were flooded with patients leading to long delays. it was around then that candace russell became pregnant and decided to have an abortion. >> there was two and a half week waiting period for me to be able to be seen by a doctor. and i was worried with how far

abortions should have that higher standard of care when they go into an abortion clinic. that's the whole point. >> but complications arising from abortion procedures are extremely rare. >> most of these laws do not--are not medically necessary at all. something like--there is a complication rate in abortions at clinics of about .23%. >> if the colt upholds the texas law other conservative states will likely inact similar restrictions on clinics, and that worries candace russ. >> well, this will not end abortions. it ends safe abortions. >> it seems almost certain that the long-running legal battle over abortion rights in the united states will continue. rob reynolds, al jazeera, fort worth, texas. >> sand ro botticelli is one of the most renown painters of his
