20/205 point down. who said bernie sanders was not going anywhere. >> reporter: instead he is still collecting delegates vowing to take what he calls his political revolution all the way to this summer's democratic presidential nominating convention. it was a big night too for donald trump who also defied the wishes of the political establishment to win the south yern state of mississippi, mich beganed hawaii. his appeal is strong among conservative voters >> i think it is the biggest story in politics today. i hope the republicans acknowledge it. we have democrats and independents coming over. if i win and i go against hillary clinton, polls show i will beat her. >> reporter: ted cruz came out on top and marco rubio didn't win a state.

and of bernie sanders closing the gap on hillary clinton for the nomination refugees hopes of reaching countries like germany are becoming slimmer. the balkan route is being shut down. slovenia say only those seeking asylum or with clear humanitarian needs will be allowed entry. that prompted serbia to close it's borders. these our countries have tightened their controls. it has left thousands of refugees and migrants stranded in greece with no clear path forward. as the number of options for refugees shrink, the u.n. raising questions about the u.s. plan with turkey to ease the crisis. the controversial agreement

would see huge numbers back to turkey for millions of dollars. what sort of quells james is the u.n. raising about this turkey e.u. plarn? >> reporter: the u.n. says that it feels that this plan could be a legal-- be illegal the plan that the e.u. has proposed in brussels. it is questioning this plan and the way that the plan will move forward. that is one of the key issues here at the united nations. the other key issue is stopping the migrants from syria by trying to stop the war in syria because today was supposed to be the start of the syria peace talks taking place here in geneva, but i can tell you, that neither of the two main sides are actually here in gen eve a the syrian government side says

it plans in principle to come in a few days. the syrian opposition say they're staying away for now because they have concerns about the process. those concerns are about violations to the cessation of hostilities, the fact that they say the government is not releasing the detainees that it is supposed to release and also concerns about humanitarian access to those besieged areas. the opposition is saying it is giving access to those areas that it controls, the access to, but it says the government is not doing the same. that's a point i put to the u.n.'s humanitarian coordinator based in syria. >> the imperative is to reach people in these settings irrespective of who is laying the siege around the place they live. i.s.i.l. is besieging 200 thoeshgs people in der azo rsaz

200,000. in other areas they have had aid, starting in october but gaining momentum. >> reporter: the opposition say that they're fulfilling their part of the bargain, they're letting aid into their areas and the government are not >> everybody has more to do and the one thing that should not be done is to re-open humanitarian principles for political discussion. these are not for discussion. these are enshrined in international humanitarian law. >> reporter: the humanitarian coordinator in syria there in gen ooech and he is here because two important meetings are taking place which i think the u.n. is hoping can help restart this process and maybe allay some of the concerns of the

opposition. in one hour's time a meeting of the task force on humanitarian access in syria and coming up in a few hours time a meeting to look at the cessation of hostilities now lasting more than ten days. the violation of that cessation of hostilities and we will hear a speech from staffan de mistura thank you for that. the poor living conditions for refugees stranded on the greek macedonian border has caused sickness. charity workers saying 70% of children here are ill with respiratory issues. disease control experts have been sent by the greek health ministry. a suspected car bomb explosion in somali's capital has killed at least three police officers. it was next to a catch a next to

a police build. al-shabab has claimed responsibility. our correspondent has more details in mogadishu >> >> there was a car bomb right in front of a police officer and in this area of the city. what we know is three police officers were killed and at least two civilians wounded. the explosion happened in front of the police station and it happened as police officers were on the way to their morning shift were trying to by their tea. it was the target was the police officers. about an hour before this explosion there was a small explosion in the describing of the area. a small motorbike was left on the side of the road. it was detonated but nobody was injured. i have spoken to the moroccan police chief who told me that they have a young man in custody

in connection with the first explosions. the suspect is seriously injured and is in hospital. we know around 1 a marks last night there was a raid on al-shabab base 50 kilometers south of mogadishu. it was conducted by foreign troops using two helicopters. there was heavy fire between foreign troops and al-shabab. one al-shabab was injured. we know that prisoner $were kept here but we don't no if there was anybody released a court in japan have ordered the two nuclear reactors should be closed over safety concerns. it comes just days before the fifth anniversary of the fukushima disaster. how much of a setback is this ruling then for the government in japan?

>> reporter: it's a pretty big setback for the government to deal with. certainly to some extent it tallies with the previous. the government is intent on so doing. it wants nuclear to constitute about the fifth of the power make up balance of this country by 2030. so these early restart to reactors, there were four reactors at two separate plants in operation since the safety changes changed and they were judged safe to restart. half of that is being shut down. it is the power station where two reactors were started. one in january and february. the second of those reactor number 4 there was a radio active water leak just before it started. there was an automatic stopping of the reactor for so far

unknown reasons after it restarted. now both that already shut down reactor and the one currently operating will have immediately to be put into cold shut down while the power company challenges this court order. it was brought about by concerns of the nearby areas. they brought a court action saying that they lived inside the evacuation preparation area 30 kilometers from the plant. they were not convinced by the safety measures put in place. that's why they brought this action and this district court has found in their favor. snoop how much of a debate has all of this started in japan when it comes to the state of nuclear reactors as well as the future of the reactors? >> reporter: it's a debate that has been raging for the last five years since fukushima

melted down. all of the various investigations into that, the findings of object fuss indication and-- obfuscation and lack of procedures, people are extracting from that, that the entire industry was questionable. that's why the government came up with these safety measures in the years since, but still there is majority 50 to 60% going by national surveys, even recent ones against this policy, but the government of the prime minister, when it came to power at the end of 2012, reversed the policies saying that they could not afford to do so and it was an xhing necessity that they had

to be restarted. everyone is getting ready to mark this fifth anniversary. it remains a controversial thing. with this court's injunction it will give extra momentum that it should be reversed thank you for that update. coming up on the program, upping the stakes. north korea's leader says his country has created miniaturised nuclear warheads. how business is picking up in a city after recovering from boko haram attacks. attacks. >> every monday night. >> i lived that character. >> go one on one with america's movers and shakers. >> we will be able to see change. >> gripping... inspiring... entertaining. no topic off limits. >> 'cause i'm like, "dad, there are hookers in this house". >> exclusive conversations you won't find anywhere else. >> these are very vivid, human stories.

attack a member of the israeli border police. we're now hearing that one of those palestinians have died of his wounds and he has been named locally as sam my ismaeel. a 16-year-old teenage from the occupy evidence west bank. that incident in east jerusalem, what happened first of all was that two palestinians travelling in a car fired towards an israeli bus in the remote area. no-one was hurt in that incident but police gave chase and during that chase the palestinians then fired at a jewish israeli and actually wounded that person before then being shot dead by these the race ail ee police-- israeli police. there were other parts of israel

incidents, in the port city of jaffa where a man committed several stabbings before being shot dead. a palestinian attacker responsible for different incidents. one of his victims, an american tourist died of his wounds. that happened just down the road where u.s. vice president was holding a conference with the former president of israel after he just landed in the country what message is biden is he bringing to netanyahu but also he will be meeting with the palestinian president. >> reporter: on all sides there have been attempts to down play any expectations of an announcement or even new proposals on how to get israelis and palestinians talking directly again, the so-called peace process which has been on ice since the failed attempts in

2014 by john kerry to get the talks going again. the main thing that joe biden will be talking with president netanyahu are now is a plan to extend the security cooperation between the two countries. netanyahu wants more money than what israel receives. the americans are talking about a ten-year commitment. beyond that there are rumors, talks in washington that, perhaps, president obama at the end of his term wants to get a united nations resolution setting parameters for a peace deal to make it easier for whoever takes over from him to push the process forward. people here are not holding their breath on that front thank you for that up dadat. police in new zealand say a gunmen suspected of shooting and

killing four officers in a rural farmhouse. as officers moved in to arrest the suspect, three was shot before a fourth was wounded as well. north korean leader says his country has miniaturised nuclear warheads which can be mound on missiles. >> reporter: the statements by the leader have apparently been made during a visit by the north korean leader to see work on his country's nuclear program meeting with scientists and technicians. it is also accompanied by a photograph being carried in the main north korean newspaper showing him with what appears to be the device in question. he has been quoted as saying that his country now has the technology to miniaturise a nuclear war head and put it on

top of a ballistic missile. these claims are not new and they are treated with scepticism by south korea and the u.s. they believe north korea is working on the technology but is not there yet. the interesting thing from north korea's part is north korea does seem to be recycling some of its claims as way of keeping up the stream of rhetoric and now attributing the claim to the leader. this is a time of heightened tensions on the korean peninsula. we have the sanctions imposed by the u.n. and unilateral sanctions by south korea and military exercise between south korea and the u.s. politicians in myanmar are due to choose a new president following decades of military rule. aung san suu kyi is unlikely to become the next leader.

>> reporter: the n.l.d. party won november's election, the question has been who will be the next president of myanmar. under the constitution the n.l.d.'s leader cannot become the president because there's a clause that states that anyone who has immediate family members who are foreigners cannot take the top job and aung san suu kyi has two sons who are british citizensment since the election we know there have been negotiations between the n.l.d. and the military which holds veto power over any constitutional changes. those talks have centred around setting aside or setting that constitution to allow aung san suu kyi to become president. it seems those talks have failed and much peck legislation centers around a man called tin chau the president. he is a member of the n.l.d. and is a close confidente of aung san suu kyi. the n.l.d. will still get the

person they want because they dominate the upper and lower houses of parliament. aung san suu kyi herself has said that she will be above the president. so it's clear who will still be in charge despite the fact that it seems she won't be the president at this stage major highways in nigeria's north-east have been closed following attacks by the boko haram for a year. that caused problems for trades and livelihoods. the area has been cleared and the economy has been revived. >> reporter: cashing in on the relative peace here. once an administrative headquarters of boko haram. at least for a month. dealers far away from car and others are crossing the border into the border city. this was not possible six months ago. this man lots 1500 head of

cattle the day boko haram storm the city. the occupation was brief but violent. he escaped before the army took back the city. >> they came in the morning shooting when the market was busiest. they drove away more than 1700 cattle. some have not recovered from the losses. the market is busker than before the attack >> reporter: there are more than 2000 heads of cattle pass through here every week. traders are picking up supplies for neighboring countries and beyond. more than a year after boko haram's attack the market is bubbling with activity. when the city was captured the pashgt was way target. they were looted and set on fire. today business is growing and people from neighboring countries are coming back. although much of the city has recovered, there are reminders of the one-month occupation, outside of the city too.

those who flepd are back. this 80 year old refused to flee when some members of his family and killed and the rest left the town. >> translation: life was difficult then. at some point i was surviving on tea. there was little help because life was a big struggle. now my family is bad and i'm glad. >> reporter: the front line against boko haram is less than 50 kilometers away from here. many people know that it will only take another attack to shut out the new-found confidence in the city the world health organisation says that sexual transmission of the zika virus is more xhn than previously thought. its emergency committee says there's increasing evidence that a spike in disturbing birth defects was caused by zika.

watch how day turns into night for two to three minutes. >> reporter: slowly now night is turning into day again here. it seems to be a bit eerie right now after all the cheering and excitement people are quiet like they're in awe of what they witnessed hear for the first time in their life >> translation: i cannot express it, but it looks like wow. this man was worried he would miss his third total eclipse because of the clouds blocking the view. the supreme maement for a clips chase is when the golden glow from the son brings it around the moon >> reporter: when there is no cloupdz, it goes out and amazing. this was beautiful. i had goose bumps. >> reporter: indonesia used the eclipse to promote the tourism.
