clinton. and just when you thought donald trump was vulnerable, he won 3 out of 4 gop contests. david schuster reports. >> donald trump is celebrating his lates victories over the gop establishment by comparing his presidential potential to one of america's most beloved leaders. >> i can be more presidential than anybody. i've said this, several times, more presidential than anyone but the great abe lincoln. >> for party establishment figures trying to change the trajectory of this race, to suggest that mitt romney's objections did nothing. all but selling more magazines which he glibly commented on

last night. >> i've had it many years. it's the magazine, that's great, anybody want one, take one. >> discarding the political obstacles will take more time if. >> don't think it's over yet. >> ohio governor john kasich and florida snawrts marco rubi senae competing next week. cruz picked up a win in idaho, still has a mathematical chance to catch one cruz. received a support from carly fiorina. >> ted is the man to do it. >> in the democratic race, bernie sanders is flying high at least psychologically, after a

shocking win in michigan. >> the revolution, people's revolution that we are talking about. the political revolution that we are talking about. it's strong in every part of the country. and frankly, we believe that our strongest areas are yet to happen. >> reporter: heading into the contest, michigan polls suggested sanders was behind 20 points. but the social democrat differed strongly with hillary clinton on trade and foreign policy, clinton, meanwhile, is trying to assure democrats that she's as exited to economic equal opportunity as sanders. >> i will work every single day. to make a difference in your lives. to knock down the barriers that stand in your way. >> clinton maintains a

significant edge in the nomination delegate count thanks oher victory margins with african american voters in southern states including mississippi tuesday night. still the former secretary of state is not getting the early sanders knock-out she had been hoping for and it all means the start of a clinton versus trump general battle might have to wait. >> clinton is a very, very flawed candidate and i believe it's going to be a very, very easy target. if she's allowed to run because there's a real question as to whether or not she's even going to be allowed to run. >> david schuster, al jazeera. >> bernie sanders wasn't even in michigan for his stunning victory last night. he was in florida, one of five states holding primaries next tuesday and the biggest prize of that night. michael shure is in miami tonight. michael we talk about the republicans in crisis.

with the sanders win in michigan are democrats facing problems of their own? >> indeed they are. their problems are a bit different. good evening, john. the probes that bernie sanders presents to hillary clinton is a problem of inevitability. hillary clinton trying to paint herself as inevitable, the longer the race goes on, the longer hillary clinton will have to spend time and money on another candidate when she wants to move on. what in fact is the situation should she not win? she's only won states in the south. bernie sanders of course has not won very many states down there but he did quite well in the rust belt, by winning michigan last night. when it comes to the numbers, sanders winning it surprisingly maybe the biggest surprise we've seen in a primary since going back to gary hart. the delegate math gets tricky

for bernie sanders after this, john. >> back to republicans and let's talk about the debate.the last debate with the republicans there are plenty of observers that be thought donald trump was hurt by this. you look at mississippi and michigan, doesn't seem to hurt him at all. is there any chance that last night's results could change the tenor of the debate? >> the tenor of the republican debate is going to change a little bit because of the fact that you see marco rubio in real trouble. and that can create a little bit of trouble for donald trump because the stronger another candidate gets, the more difficult it is for trump. going into michigan for example, john, there was a poll released that showed the four republican candidates within ten points of one another. 20% of those go to marco rubio. if he drops out of this case, if he drops out before or after florida those 20% are going to have to go somewhere and

presumably not to donald trump john. >> in the democratic debate does bernie sanders go after hillary clinton in a way hasn't before? >> well, john, i think what you're going to see tonight, listen, bernie sanders is going to start defending himself against those auto bailout questions that were raised in michigan, he did quite well defending himself against during the lead up to the michigan primary. ohio a state next week, john, a big auto state, big union state, where free trade is unpopular. perhaps you'll hear him talk a lot about that but also sponsored by univision. those tend to help hillary clinton and she will spend a lot of time probably brushing that up and talking about that to this audience tonight, john. >> all right, michael, thank you. michigan republican pete hokstra

acknowledge a john kasich supporter, is in washington tonight. congressman good to have you on the program. donald trump was pretty successful last night. does trump have this locked up or, if he doesn't win ohio, the state where your friend is from, is this still going to be a free for all? it sounds like he's got it wrapped up. >> well, you know, this has been a very, very fluid election cycle. we started this process with 17 candidates. we're down to the final four now. we started with eight governors, we're down to only one governor left in this race. i think it's too early to call game over. i think last night, it's game on. you got a new player in this equation that hasn't been there. and that's john kasich. he finishes you know, a virtual tie for second place, was down in second digits two weeks ago, finished at 24, 25%. the new national polls that

you're citing have him ahead of marco rubio with a virtual tie with ted cruz. only five to six points behind donald trump. i wouldn't call this over yet. i think it's too early. >> the washington post had an article with the headline marco rubio's campaign is basically over. but if marco rubio doesn't win florida and john kasich doesn't win ohio isn't it over for them, really? >> i think john's been very, very clear that if he loses his home state, he'll probably be pulling out of this race. there's no reason why john shouldn't be, you know -- john expects to win ohio. this is a state that reelected him with 64% of the vote just two short years ago. they've seen the kind of policies that he's put in place that have really enabled that state to prosper and to move forward from defendants to surplus. from high unemployment to 400,000 new jobs. john's going to win ohio. he's going to do just fine. >> you know the republican electorate as you know seems to

be on a totally different page than the party officials at least some of them. last night the governor of hawaii said he was sickened by trump's win. what's your take on why donald trump has been so successful so far? >> well i think you're seeing the success with both donald trump with bernie sanders and you know, with a number of these candidates. because the american people are just frustrated and angry with washington. they hear issues, they hear about tax reform, they hear about unemployment, they hear about entitlement reform. everybody makes promises that says they will do or fix these problems and no one does anything. john kasich is the only one in the race that can point to a record of achievement, rornlg rg entitlements and balancing budgets. that's why the american people are taking another look. they recognize that the campaign can't be decided by anger and frustration. they need to pick the candidate

now that they think is most adequate to address the problems. john kasich has demonstrated he has done it in the past and will do it in the future. >> how likely will there be a brokered convention and what would it mean for party and the country if that was going to happen? >> well, i think there's a good possibility that win of these candidates is going to get to -- through one mechanism or another, is going to get to the required number of delegates to win on a first ballot. that i think is probably going to happen. that's our strategy to get to that point. where we are going to have the necessary votes on that first ballot to move forward. if we have a -- you know a multi-ballot convention it is a lesson in civics for all americans because at that time, the party and the delegates that are elected in states across the country that are being elected in -- you know, in all these different primaries and

uncaucuses they of-and caucuses will be empowered to make the decision. they are not bound and the rules are very, very clear. >> this may sound like a simple sort of question but what about a lesson in civility especially for some of the candidates? >> i think that's exactly right. john has made it a hallmark of his campaign, i think you've seen it in the last two debates where he's getting a little bit more time. and he's always focused on the issues. he's focused on solutions. he's not going to get into the mud slinging and i think what we're finding is what we've seen with the rubio campaign. marco was very positive, visionary where he wanted the country to go and all of a sudden he flipped and started to get into this one on one tit-for-tat with donald trump and the lack of civility in the campaign is collapsing. >> but you're john kasich's friend. what has it been like for him to stand on those stages, and have

to listen to a lot of this garbage? >> i can tell you, i spent a lot of time with john in the last week. he's totally frustrated by that. and seeing that this is where the party is going. he believes that a conservative republican ideology has a lot to offer the american people. and we should be taking our time presenting those types of solutions pointing out the differences that they do have as candidates. but they're all conservatives. and trashing each other, john believes it's exactly the wrong thing for individual candidates to do. and he definitely believes it's also the wrong thing for republican party to be demonstrating. john is a positive guy. and believes that republicans should have a positive image of each other. and for the country. but most importantly, for voters of america, they deserve better than what they've been getting. >> okay so you're a former congressman from michigan. i have to ask you about the huge upset in your home state by

bernie sanders over hillary clinton. how did sanders upset this clinton machine in such a key state and what does it mean for clinton going forward? >> well, i think yeah, it was a huge upset. someone says michigan just has a bunch of lousy pollsters but the apology was -- he was down 20 points three, four days out. i think what this means is the clinton campaign has to take a look at why these voters are looking to bernie and what he is offering that she is not. i don't think he's going to derail her or that he's going to get the nomination but she has to start paying attention ohis voters. their anxieties. and you know, what they're expressing at the polls. like i said she's not going to lose the nomination but she's going to limp into the nomination and into the fall campaign if she doesn't start listening and hearing what they're saying. voters drive this process as much as we like it.

insiders, the establishment, you know we just do all -- we talk a lot but we don't drive voters. >> all right congressman it's great to see you. thank you for joining us tonight, we appreciate it. >> great thank you. good to be with you. >> in california house speaker you paul ryan paid his respects to nancy reagan. mourns lined up for hours at a public viewing which continues at this hour. these are live pictures. the former first lady will be buried on friday. jennifer london is in simi valley. jennifer. >> john, this is the first time for public to pay respects and say farewell to the former first lady. the casket carrying nancy reagan was carried to simi valley and the presidential library named for her husband, ronald reagan.

firefighters saluted mrs. reagan's hearse as it drove by, some holding flags as the motorcade entered the library grounds. the former first lady will lie in repose wednesday and thursday. the library expects thousands to say farewell. >> it's quiet and beautiful, lots of pretty flowers. it's emotional, some people had tears. >> i wanted to pay respect to nancy reagan because i thought she was so graceful, i can remember when they were in the with white house. reabronald reagan was the first president i voted for. >> reagan died in 2004. their love story lasted for over five decades. friends and family attended a

small private ceremony. at the library, a second set of pallbearers from each of the branches of the military carried her casket into the library nancy reagan's funeral on friday will be attended by a long list of dignitaries. including george w. bush, his wife laura and michelle obama. john in terms of crowds, the library tells us that two hours after the library opened, they had thousands of visitors and they have only had increased demands and have increased the shuttle buses from four to ten. >> all right thank you jennifer. a missile test in iran, launched two ballistic missiles. written on the sides, the words, israel must be wiped out

out.meanwhile, vice president joe biden is in israel. he reassured prime minister benjamin netanyahu that the u.s. will act. israel and the occupied west bank have been reeling from violence for months now. nadim baba has more on the new round of attacks. >> reporter: a palestinian youth lies dead in the street in occupied east jerusalem. he was one of two plns fired fropalestinians,are pair shot di officers. the authorities say they are not taking any chance he prospect. >> when we can make arrests, we make arrests, when we have to open fire and may arrests and parenthesis thapprehend the ters what we do. to members of the public, as well as people walk around the

streets, with our police officers, we have to shoot, and if necessary shoot and kill those terrorists. >> be in the occupied west bank another young palestinian was shot dead. israel forces said 16-year-old ahmed ahma tried to stab officers. when he heard the shots ahmed was about ten meters away from the soldiers. different soldiers arriving on the area fired at him on the ground. they left him bleeding for an hour. so many young palestinians have become what they called martyrs to the palestinian cause. but who will be involved in the next deadly incident or where that will be is virtually impossible. tuesday's renewed violence not only in the occupied territories but also in israel. a palestinian youth killed one american tourist before being

shot dead. on wednesday as he discussed a new aid package, the u.s. vice president called it a heinous attack. >> there can be no justification for this hateful violence. and the united states stands firmly behind israel's right to defend itself as we are defending ourselves at this moment as well. that's why we've done more to bolster, help bolster israel's security than any other administration in history. >> in places like occupied east jerusalem calls for tighter security. but in the absence of meaningful negotiations between israelis and palestinians few people expect the deaths on either side to end soon. nadim baba, al jazeera. >> coming up next: the head of i.s.i.l.'s chemical weapons program patterned captured by u.s. special forces. and remembering music producers george martin, his

work with the beatles and other famous artists after this.

>> now to what could be a key turning points in the fight against i.s.i.l. u.s. forces have reportedly captured the man in charge of the group's chemical weapons plan. mike viqueria has the story. >> top officials both in washington and iraq are touting the capture of an i.s.i.l. official, even even as they warn

a be dangerous plot in the works. >> coogd to a u.saccording to a, slaman daod aori is in u.s. custody under interrogation. officials were tight-lipped on wednesday, but they lauded the expeditionary force sent into iraq last year by powk to carryt obama. to carry out the operations that knelted afari. >> part of these forces that are dedicated to carrying out raids, collecting intelligence anywhere possible, getting access to high-value targets. >> reporter: the u.s. official in iraq says i.s.i.l. has in fact launched some chemical weapons strikes especially against the peshmerga, the

kurdish forces. a pentagon spokesman says i.s.i.l. has weaponized sulfur mustard powder not mustard gas, creating a cloud of dust that can cause aggravation and in large doses can kill. alafari once worked with iraq's military under saddam hussein. wrote while these on the ground exurgs pose real dangers to our troops, and, pose bringing the u.s. more fully into these conflicts, rewards can be great, including those with may involve chemical weapons. officials say after the u.s. military has completed the interrogation process, al afari will be transferred to iraqi and kurdish authorities. mike viqueria, al jazeera,

washington. >> so what will it take to stop i.s.i.l. and do any of the presidential candidates have a strategy? malcolm nance, his new book, defeating i.s.i.s, who they are how they fight what they believe, is out this week. malcolm joins us from philadelphia tonight. so malcolm we heard what others think of this. what do you think is the significance of this? >> well, i think it is a very significant capture. but the one thing that everyone should pay very close attention to. we have captured the head of i.s.i.s.'s chemical weapons program. we know they have manufactured must the tard gas imustard gas l amount. 50-year-old man, in 2003 when the united states invaded, was a 38-year-old be officer in the

iraqi bagh baathist party. >> wonder how i.s.i.l. was able to get access to these chemical weapons. any clues on that? >> well, the chemicals that they're using are very, very crude. you know you hear a lot of rumors, saying saddam took his chemical weapons to syria. no, that's not what happened. they are manufacturing devices which are irritants, at best, especially the chlorine gas bombs, which are designed the actually channel people and frighten them. but we've even seen i.s.i.s. use scorpions in a bomb, in a throw-back to an old roman

tactic. you could almost call that biological weapons. they are manufacturing in crude conditions. >> from a journalist standpoint it's hard to understand how much success the u.s. is actually having with i.s.i.l. because we get these reports that they have these what might be described as minor successes. but in your opinion, how much progress after all this time has the u.s. made in trying to defeat i.s.i.l? >> i think we've made tremendous progress since june 2014. you know i.s.i.l. was not -- the united states was not unaware of this group. we've been fighting them in their previous iteration at al qaeda in iraq. we lost 4600 soldiers to these terrorists. however now we have made very great gains in defeating them on the ground by hen helping the ii

forces, and using the peshmerga forces. the battle of ramadi, the same thing the iraqi forces stood up and with our air power b-1 bombers, ac 31 gun ships, the aerial fight against i.s.i.s. is truly degrading them. now it has to happen on the ground because you can bomb from the air all you want. but if you don't take back terrain then they remain cohesive and they can keep the narrative that they are a unified islamic state or caliphate. now we need to break that back. >> when you say on the ground are you talng about american forces? >> no. we don't need to have american forces in large numbers. we need to do what we're doing with secretary carter is absolutely correct. we need to assist and we need to advise and if that means moving forward with the kurdish forces or the iraqi special forces and giving them the capacity to call down air strikes when they reach

a hard spot that is assisting and advising. wee don't need to go into ground combat because that's exactly what i.s.i.s. wants. >> when this all began and the united states started trying odefeat i.s.i.l. we got the word it's going to be years and years before you could defeat i.s.i.l. so based what you know now, do you still believe it's many years off before the u.s. and others can defeat i.s.i.l? >> well, if you look back at this, we've been fighting this battle since 1988, when al qaeda created this ideology. we are not fighting a terrorist group. we are fighting a cultist ideology that has corrupted mainstream islam and is trying to bring about the apocalypse on their terms. they are trying to force god's hands to bring about things written in the koran, a corruption of islam, all 1.6 billion muslims in this world reject wholeheartedly.

we have to defeat i.s.i.l. by defeating this cultist ideology first. >> malcolm is nance, thank you. my pleasure. >> how the integration issue is affecting votes in florida. not just in this country, but around the world. getting the news from the people who are affected. >> people need to demand reform... >> ali velshi on target.

>> our american story is written everyday. it's not always pretty, but it's real... and we show you like no-one else can. this is our american story. this is america tonight. >> immigration is playing a key role in the current presidential race especially in florida. all the talk of walls and deportation has many living in fear. that includes many who arrive

here illegally but have been allowed to stay here for now. jonathan betz is in florida. jonathan. >> a lot of people here in south florida have been horrified about what's been said about immigration considering that there are a lot of people that have been allowed to stay in the u.s. even though they came here illegally. elizabeth worries a new president could mean a new life in her old country. she came here illegally from honduras 16 years ago, but since her daughter was born in america, pas could be allowed to stay. if president obama's sweeping executive action he remain in place. >> my biggest fear is ice will get my family or do not have papers. >> reporter: while the immigration debate has energized

campaigns. >> this is going to be a high wall, a very serious wall. >> reporter: in florida it has terrified families and mobilized activists. who worry about losing progress made with president obama. >> we are seeing more and more people registered to vote, more and more people become citizens because they are sik sick and td and angry at this rhetoric. >> the president's controversial deferred action items are aimed to protect people from deportation. including florida senator marco rubio himself the son of immigrants. >> i know people who are personally impacted by this. the problem with the executive order is it's unconstitutional. the president doesn't have the power to can that and he himself admitted that. >> it is a message that's resonated with republicans. >> it means you were brought here illegally and violating the

laws have consequences. >> words that chill families like the pases. they are attack us from all fronds she says. now she worries, a reprieve granted by one president could be lost by the next. these do face lawsuits, the supreme court will actually hear the case next month. still it is not a permanent solution and it is 92nd pathway to citizenship which is a lot of people here in florida are hoping for, from the next president. john. >> all right jonathan, thank you. the republican national committee now suing the state department over hillary clinton's e-mail. two suits have been filed under the freedom of information act. the first is looking for e-mails and other messages between clinton and two senior aides during her time as secretary of state. between clinton associates and state department associates from the time clinton stepped down in

accompanied by a photograph in the main north korean newspaper showing kim with what appears to be the device in question. kim quoted as saying his country now has the technology to miniaturize a ballistic missile and put it on a warhead on a missile. these statements, they believe north korean north korea is working on the technology but is not there yet. the interesting thing from south korea's part is north korea does now seem to be resoggying some s claims, the leader kim jong-un. this is the a time of heightened tensions in korea, unilateral sanctions from south korea and beginning this week, military action he between south korea and the united states. so this does seem to be latest

response to all of that from north korea. >> rob mcbride reporting. meanwhile, officials say a partial truce in syria has considerably reduced the violence there. a halted peace conference has just begun again. james bays has the story. >> the only people staffan de mistura are diplomats and u.n. colleagues. however he's hopeful that the syrians and the main opposition block will be in geneva soon. >> the focus will be on the agendas, new governance, constitutions and elections, the future elections in 18 months time both presidential and parliamentian. >> its spokesman salaam al

nuset, said the outcome had to be the formation of a new government without president assad. the opposition still has concerns though. the cessation of hostilities has been in place for nearly two weeks but they say violations by the government like this attack are continuing. they also want detainees particularly women and children, released. and as the u.n. task force on humanitarian access met in geneva they've again been complaining about the government not allowing food and medical supplies in. this case backed in part by confirmation from the task force leader when he talked about the besieged areas, the u.n. has not reached in recent weeks. >> which side militarily is besieging the remaining six areas? >> well, it's very clear that the six areas -- i would then say the seven areas where we have not reached including deir

ez zor are reached six by the government, one by islamic state. >> one of those areas the is the ria, the opposition believe it is being quite deliberately starved. in the damascus suburb it is militarily and politically important to the opposition side. james bays, al jazeera, united nations. five years ago an earthquake triggered a nuclear disaster at fukushima. harry fawcett returned to the area to see how things have become since then. >> past the shop where he used to get ice cream to the chinese restaurant that he said made the best ramen noodles in the world.

>> the controversial new people app is now up and running and it allows users to give ratings to others. but its critics warn that its people could become an online platform for bullying or cyber revenge. jacob ward has the story from san francisco. >> rating the users in three categories, personal, professional and romantic. the purpose is to provide a reference check for the people around us. >> so if there was an app that was like the yelp for people, what do you think about that? >> the internet has the power to literally ruin lives. when this concept was announced, reviewing people many can he's a jerk, she's really cool, it didn't seem to really fit. since then the company has

changed the app's features so it theoretically avoids being an arena of criticism. julia explaining the features on the dr. phil show. >> you are not anonymous on our app. you cannot have your profile started by anybody else. you have 100% opt-in ability. and we really want to make sure that you have full control over what goes live on our app. >> so what's wrong with that? reviews are one of the great inventions of the internet age, whether you are waiting to know about where to eat dinner, and information page, the ability to read up on anyone or anything before having a personal encounter. as long as someone doesn't hide behind a pseudo nim, what'nyn we big deal? makeers don't include reviews at

all. the reason is pretty simple. here's how one app builder described it to us. >> the chemistry in the face is something you can't review. it is very subjective, very personal. somebody who is great for you, is probably not great for somebody else. the concept is not appropriate. >> here is where people has really crossed the line. although the company says you can't publish a negative review about somebody not ton app. company has told several outlets it's considering a truth license, in which unpublished negative reviews of even felon user of the app and the terms and conditions of the angive the person irrevocable on the app. it sums up who you are. and it does so in permanent ink. >> that's jake ward. coming up next, pop music

direct and i played it for waddy, and said no last verse. he said sing the first verse again. ♪ going to be a heartache tonight ♪ >> heartache tonight you knew it? >> just felt like it. it just felt like it. it came out at the same time as "you're only lonely" and they were actually actual hits at the same time. it was a pretty good christmas. >> tell me about how you actually structure your writing. i mean does it take a long period of time, does it come overnight? >> let me stop you there. yes, it does. but you would also be writing -- >> both places? >> i have absolutely no methodology. sometimes an idea will be so clear and so fully realized there's not a lot of work to finish it. but there's a critical period of time between the first inkling

of the idea to where you can get to the devil's lap to the or the iphone to the auto-recorder there, things are still in flux at that moment and unless you go okay freeze that, take that -- at least get that on the paper before your brain which has this -- most of the artists i know have some ocd factor in their brain working, before you start spinning off into something else, take one phrase and remember it, write it down, get this thing really solid. >> you can run run run ♪ ♪ never get it right >> what was it like to have the incredible success as a songwriter? >> it was strange because i didn't -- i think i did everything i could, subconsciously dom keep that awaconsciously to keep that awa. i think in reality, if you love
